THE MORTUARY COLLECTION - 7.5/10

Clancy Brown is great and it's fun horror anthology flick.

V/H/S 94 - 7/10

Much like the first V/H/S film each segment actually feels like it was shot on VHS. There's one segment that is just wildly gory too -- turns out it was directed by the same guy who made the Indonesian Cult segment in V/H/S 2. Fun and creative flick overall, especially if you are a fan of found footage horror.

New James Bond 8/10 would recommend.

Make sure you see the previous movie first if you haven't already.

No Time to Die-8/10

Definitely should watch the last movie as well as the first one. Quite a few call backs to those. This was the best one other than Skyfall, and a fitting, definitive and even ballsy way to end Craig’s run as 007. Very much enjoyed it. Although it needed more Ana de Armas running around in a plunging neckline dress kicking the shit out of evil foreigners.

The Many Saints of Newark: A Sopranos Story - 6/10

alt title could have been Member Berries Strike Back. film spends far too much of its run time asking the audience "hey member this guy?" and its very unfortunate because that might be exactly what viewers want from this film but its not what i was after.

i was seeking a story told in the style of sopranos instead of a film constantly winking at me. its made worse by the fact that, excluding Gandalfini son, the actors spend all their energy doing impressions of these giant characters and it all feels very hacky.

there is promise in future sequels though. with all the nostalgia credit spent perhaps now we can get into some real story telling because there is potential.

and its for that potential that im left wanting. a film in the vein of what could be argued as both the best telivision series of all time and the single most influential series of the past 30 years (not by me but its a reasonable take [id say top 10 in quality and top 3 in influence {but whatever; its moot}]) it should simply be better. and when what im handed is good its lack of greatness hurts the film more than it would another.

lamb - 3/10

beautifully shot, well acted by a very small cast, interesting concept, but none of it really came together for me. and it's slow as fuck in a way that i don't think helps.

No Time to Die - 8/10

Was enjoyable... might be being generous with the score.... Casino Royale and Skyfall definitely above it for Daniel Craig movies, but it is above Quantum and Spectre....

Will agree that it needed more Ana de Armas

Halloween Kills - 6.5/10: Started off strong but was then sort of 'just ok' in the middle. Enjoyed the mass hysteria scenes.

Overall, seems like Kills was more of a setup to Halloween Ends in October 2022. I'm not crazy about Michael basically turning into Jason Voorhees super demonzombie but I'm also ok with it I guess, I don't know. I prefer Michael human and Jason 'unkillable'. Scream better not get any ideas about making 'ol Ghosty supernatural...

It really should have been split into two movies. One focusing on the 60s and one on the 70s. I'm halfway through the movie and everything feels so rushed. And I totally agree with "Member Berries".

I watched the new “Dune” movie.
It’s a dark and joyless affair, beautiful though it is.

I’m pretty disappointed that it was only the first half of the book but I won’t be sad to watch another two and a half hour film filled to the brim with all the crazy shit they left out of this one.
There’s an awful lot they didn’t even hint at.

Is dune going to be the first big box office flop of the post pandemic era? It looks good and I want it to do well. But I don’t see an audience for it.

Can't really treat Dune the same in regards to the box office since it's streaming on day 1. That will eat a chunk out of box office sales.

Watching Dune rn myself.

Dune will struggle to make money. It must have cost a fortune.
Honestly it is one of the most beautifully realised films I’ve ever seen. It isn’t light in any sense though and the source material is far better suited to a mini-series.

It’s not hard to see why Denis Villeneuve wanted to do it though. I have been fascinated by it since I was a lad and it seems impossibly huge to contemplate making profitable films from.
I just want to see the details thoroughly explained and shown in a way that no film ever will.

He did give it an admirable shot though, so hopefully he gets a crack at the second half.
I really need to see more sandworm action and a guild navigator up close.

Well the CEO of Warner Bros all but confirmed earlier today that the sequel has been greenlit already. Apparently was originally going to be one film but Villeneuve insisted on it being split into 2 parts as part of his contract as well. They were supposed to film them both at the same time, but logistics (read: pandemic) messed that up. Either way I am eager for how part 2 is handled.

This movie was art. So beautifully done. I love the original and the miniseries but I feel like I came away with a much better understanding after this version for some reason. Also came away thoroughly pleased with the casting. The score is simple yet amazing.
Everything about it came off far better than I was expecting tbh. Will prob watch again this weekend.

I thought the cast was actually pretty weak for a film that size. The most bankable names are Bautista, Momoa and Zendaya by the looks of it.
I can’t fault anyone’s performance too harshly but they could have used a few bigger marquee names to give it a boost.

I suppose Josh Brolin is a huge bankable star but he’s always in an ensemble.
Mickey Rourke as Baron Harkonnen seems too obvious, but I’d have liked that a lot.

I wonder who’ll play Feyd Rautha...

Dune was pretty good. I was confused as to why the Emperor would replace the Harkonnens on arrakis if he was just going to send them back to take it by force. It's not until well after the attack that we learn the Emperor fears house atreides, and it's in a single line that's easily missed. Even then, it's still confusing, as the movie doesn't explain the tense political rules of the universe which require the Emperor to use such a roundabout method to crush a possible rival. I had to look that up to find out. It's the crux of the story's conflict and it's barely explained.

Also the mother talks really fast, in a whisper voice and 90% of the time I had no idea what the fuck she was saying.

Other than that, gorgeous film that I mostly enjoyed.

There is some dialog earlier on that foreshadows why the Emperor removed the Harkonnens from Arakis and replaced them with House Atreides. It's the scene nearish the beginning where BATISTA barges in angrily asking The Baron why the Emperor would betray them in favor of The Duke and The Baron says something along the lines of a gift isn't always a gift and that the Emperor is a very jealous man.

Dune - 9/10

One of the biggest compliments I can give Dune: I'm not a big Sci-Fi person and this is probably one of the best Sci-Fi films I've seen. It won't be for everyone. It has stunning visuals and is very philosophical. Those looking for a pure action film will be disappointed. Dune is smart, very smart. I watched the 80s film and couldn't tell you the plot but here I understood it perfectly. So many themes and topics on display. Looking forward to part 2.

I do remember that, but again, it's extremely vague. I don't need to be spoon fed everything, but there needed to be a bit more explanation imo. I get what they were going for, by being so cagey with exposition, but I just think they leaned into it a little too much.

I thought it was pretty well laid on between Rabban and the Baron in that scene but I’m familiar with the story, however I think most people can see the classical influence in the way it is done. It’s Shakespearean cloak and dagger talk.

That scene does its job in explaining that there are sinister motives in giving the planet to atreides and that its basically a trap.

I guess what I specifically feel is glossed over a little too much is the relationship between Leto and the Emperor and why the latter feels threatened. From what I understand, the book does a better job of exploring that.

Either way I'd prefer the way they did it over boring exposition, so it's a minor nitpick.

Finished The Many Saints of Newark 6.5/10

I maintain my stance that it should have been split into two movies. Too rushed. I'm also a MEGA Sopranos fan (I've watched the whole series about a dozen times) so I probably had unrealistically high expectations.

The movie overall was alright.
