Dune: Part Two (2024)
Avatar for Grown Ups ;)
Just finished watching 1 hour ago this powerful display of story, visuals, and sound wrapped together in a saga forever traveling. Things you ask for in this film arrive and curiosity for more follows closely. This is my first review of any film I've looked at and I am happy to make Dune: Part Two my statement piece. This movie is the silent killer because I believe there will be quite a few that sleep on this film looking for a different action-type of blockbuster but believe you me after I watched the first Dune, I was hooked for the sequel. And while I can't say I was surprised, for some of the story angles I was. Take this from someone who knows nothing of the Dune novels or previous movies. Something never quite lured me before in the past when I watched parts of Dune, but delivery of this revisited epic introduces perfect calms before the storm as well as the endurance of their experience. You feel as if placed under a dreamlike trance, and when necessary, brought into focus for intentional importance.
Major highlights for me watching Dune beyond abovementioned are the interwoven threads between all characters, the affinity of reverence of the desert life (or lack thereof in some cases 😊), demanding common sense naturalness, conservation of idle chatter, and grip of coolness among the heat. I wanted freedom of room in the theater so I watched the presentation on standard screen but will most likely return for a 2nd showing to see on IMAX to get a deeper effect. All I can say is that whomever you are reading this, watching this film, you will not be disappointed on the journey and maybe you too will show up here on IMDB to give your first review on a movie that decisively gives faith back into Hollywood production. Bravo! And let's watch the next one 😉
Warriors of Liberty City (2018)
Motivation All Day
Many of us go through life daily being ungrateful. Most of us use a 1/10th of what we've been given. Liberty city demonstrates the maximum use of what's given even when the odds are stacked against them. The warriors of Liberty City deserve recognition for their great achievements and I am humbled to be allowed a view into the world of such dedication.
