    ★★★★

    I love how Simon Stalenhag's art was brought to life. It's truly beautiful and chilling. The All-Star cast is very impressive.

    ★★★

    An interesting peek into high school back in 1968. Some things never change, like kids complaining about the dress code.

    Dune

    ★★★★★

    Fantastic adaptation by director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) of the first book of the the Dune sci-fi series. The cinematography looks amazing as is the sound. It has a big name cast with Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista and others, but Timothee Chalamet in the lead role of Paul holds his own and does a great job.

    The fast pacing made the movie fly by even with the much required voice-over explanations. I can't want for the next movie.

  • Gettysburg

    Gettysburg

    ★★

    Long, drawn out scenes of canon fire, soldiers firing muskets, and troops marching, interrupted occasionally by long soliloquies explaining why the battle was so important for both sides. This excruciatingly 4-hour long epic could easily come in at 90-minutes with proper editing. 

    Loved the use of synth more in the score: nice 1990s touch.
