    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    A completely nonsensical hackjob. There's no cleverness, no imagination, no humor, no sense of adventure. A geriatric Harrison Ford sleepwalks to a paycheck, at least when we actually see him and not some terrible CGI doppelganger strutting about acting like we can't notice all of its fakeness.

    This is the kind of filmmaking I just detest. Shallow, cynical and without a shred of ambition. The Dial of Destiny is nothing but a hackneyed attempt at exploiting whatever IPs Lucasfilm got left.

And with non-existent character development or halfway interesting character interaction in between. Unless your idea of characters interacting with each other is them running nonstop throughout the…

    Dune

    ★★★★★

    After Blade Runner 2049 disappointed at the box office, a deflated Denis Villenueve claimed in an interview he would never make a movie like it again, calling it a "monster."

    With Dune, Villeneuve has released another contemplative and meditative blockbuster-budgeted movie that runs for 160 minutes.

    I guess sometimes you just can't beat your own instincts.

    Dune is great, a true work of vision altogether, as good as an adaption of the book could possibly be. And in all honestly…
