    Dumb movie.
    Fun characters.
    Fun sets.
    Fun fights.
    Fun music.

    Good Friday night watch.

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★

    Amazing to watch.

    Hard to understand.

    If I drank the Water of Life,
    that probably wouldn't have been a problem.

    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★★

    Before seeing Minus One, I knew the destruction and battles needed to be watched in theaters.

    And that would have been enough.

    I was not expecting to be glued to the screen for a generous two hours.

    I certainly was not expecting to be taken on an emotional roller coaster with characters who were inspiring, social&cultural themes that were challenging, and a musical score with similar impact to John Williams' Phantom Menace.

    If I hadn't watched an actual nuke blow up in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer
    (which is unfair),
    Godzilla Minus One would be my favorite theater experience in 2023

    by a mile.

    The Creator

    ★★★

    There were MOMENTS that were really special (almost made me tear-up, or squirm in my seat) DROWNING in uninspired crap
    (felt empty, and looked like stock footage)

    It honestly felt like a Chat GPT movie (or whatever that AI thing is called) periodically interrupted by Gareth Edward's passionate moments of genius.

    If that WERE the case, would that be considered irony?
