  Doctor Sleep 2019

  ★ Watched 16 Jan 2021

  This was a mockery of The Shining. It felt like Flanagan had recently seen Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Jessica Jones, Twilight, and Harry Potter, liked them a lot, and *tried* to emulate them all at the same time while editing in some scenes from the original film.

  Dune 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Oct 2021

  I haven’t read the books yet and wish I did before watching. I like that this is being broken up into multiple movies, more time to develop the characters/plot!

  With that said, I found this first movie in the series hard to follow. Didn’t understand the plot, in particular how this world got to it is (and especially given it’s 8000 years in the future). I prefer hard sci-fi and this felt too fantastical.

  Villeneuve as always did great on…
