Watched Dune 2 on Amazon this weekend really enjoyed it other then the occasionally poor streaming video quality. Will definitely be picking up a copy on BluRay when it comes out. Epic battle scenes and just generally very cool grand scale sci-fi cinematography throughout.

Up next for me.

Agreed... the line between good guys and bad guys in this movie is definitely blurred intentionally to allow us to focus on the general craziness of it all.

I read they used full load blanks instead of half load for super realism with the gun battles. Sure sounded like it. We also went in blind (other then having seen the trailer). Our main questions were just clarifications of what were the circumstances and/or series events that led up to what...

Definitely a spotty resume and heavily dependent on gimmicks which either work or fail miserably IMO. Last ones I kinda liked were Split (although admittedly mainly for James McAvoy's multi character performance) and Devil which he wrote but did not actually direct. He's like Quentin Tarantino...

Hundreds of Beavers was absolutely wacky low budget zaniness like a modern day (mostly) animated keystone cops or Buster Keaton tribute with some Bugs Bunny/Road Runner cartoon combat stuff as well. Even a brief reference to Star Wars Endor speeder chase scene. In other words it was all over the...

Civil War was pretty damn intense. Left the theater with a lot of questions. A lot to process might have to see it again after absorbing the first viewing. Definitely missed a good amount of small but important details amidst the chaos. Gun fights were louder than Heat just a purely soundtrack...

His movies have been hit or miss lately. This one looks promising but I have had that same thought before will have to wait and see... due out this Summer I think.

Should be a good movie weekend got tickets for Civil War on Saturday and definitely watching this on demand on Sunday.

As usual late to the party but have been enjoying The Alienist on HBO Max. Feels like what Se7en and/or Silence of The Lambs might look like if they were set in the late 1800's. Development and use of some (very) early forensic and profiling concepts are also cool to see unfold. Stylish...

Michael Bay hijacked it pretty much at this exact moment I think.

I was in the exact same camp but this looks must better then I hoped/expected. I am all in favor of some more grown up comic book movies. We could use some more after the last decade's onslaught of Marvelish fluff. It's also very important to say "Marvelish fluff" out loud like Billy Crystal...

Looks very promising. Loved the last one.

Got stuck at home waiting around for a plumber to show up so we had to cancel our Monkey Man tickets. Watched Beekeeper on demand instead for no particular reason. Probably the dumbest movie I have seen in a long time. I blame the plumber.

How can I not go see this movie. Got tickets for Saturday.
