    Dude I know you’re excited you got Dire Straits for the soundtrack but—oh wait—that’s not Dire Straits?

  • A Complete Unknown

    A Complete Unknown

    ★★★★

    If you like music, you will like this movie.

    I learned way more about Bob Dylan’s life by skimming over his Wikipedia page. Now, that being said—the Queen biopic was basically a line-by-line recitation of Wikipedia and one of the worst music movies to receive wide recognition.

    What I’m saying is that this film preserves and expands the mystery of the carnival man that is Bob Dylan, apparently arriving on the scene to great acclaim, blowing minds, and blowing up folk festivals. How he got there, we may never know. This movie is about the music.

    ★½

    Wish there were more robot fighting scenes. Instead you get jocks in tight suits sloppy bar fighting. Worth it overall for the final sequence 👍

  • Dune: Part Two

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★

    Where Dune Part 1 will captivate you with world building and devastating loss, Dune Part 2 delivers on the second part of the heroes’ arc, a rise to power and glorious battle.

    What the film lacks are the mind-bending sci-fi results of Paul’s ascendency and growing power. I was looking forward to how Paul’s non-linear experience of time and events would be portrayed, but here we only get flash-forwards with no internal monologue.

    What the film does deliver on, it…
