Against my better judgement I watched Dune Episode 1.

Looked good, thoroughly enjoyed it: but I have no idea how anyone that hasn't read the book will have had a clue what was going on.

I was tickled that there was a complaint from the middle eastern and northern African actors guild (or whatever it is called) complained that the fremen were too white/ black. Really?

I don't quite understand how a film set on a distant planet in the distant future is a film about Middle East culture.

I've tried to explain to the family that Dune was a hard watch in the past (without prior reading) and I can't imagine much would have changed with the remake. Nonetheless, the high scoring of the film with critics and the public have got the family convinced.

Wish me luck!

I've seen Aquaman and can remember precious little about it. Maybe that says something, but I have no way of knowing.

We recently watched The Godfather for the first time.  Al Pacino is so young.  It must have been groundbreaking.

I've been spoiled by the likes of Goodfellas, the Sopranos, etc. since this came out, but given I'd never seen it before, it was interesting for historical reasons.

Thought that film was a must for anyone growing up.

We watched it this evening (actually half yesterday and the rest today) and I thought it was a strong 7+. There were bits that would have made no sense if they hadn't explained the rule-breaking as it happened.

My main criticism of it was that some of the animation was well chocky. Even his tie tying looked poor.

I think it had an R rating and I was too young to go see it when it debuted.
Cumberbatch cashes in.  I don't know if I'll go see it.  I think if I had friends who'd like to go to the theatre, it would be fun, but it's unlikely I'll want to watch it  late at night on my computer.

I enjoyed the new Doctor Strange, if only to introduce America Chavez. I don't particularly care for the blood-thirsty Scarlet Witch they're developing. In the comics, yes, she did a lot of nasty stuff but mostly just *blink* and change reality. In the comics, she was struggling with depression and some could argue mental illness. In this movie, she's full-on evil.

Post Thanos, any "blink" behavior would likely result in an immediate death sentence to avoid future "blinks".

That's the thing. There are a bunch of "Infinity Stones" story arcs that have occurred over the years, usually with Adam Warlock being the hero leading the charge. The whole Scarlet Witch "House of M/No More Muntants" story arcs occurred long ago and Wanda pretty much disappeared for years after, well prior to the this "Endgame"-inspired story arc.

I tried to give up on the MCU trying to stay true to the Marvel Comics canon but it still ruffles my feathers at times.

The grey Gray man
Nothing new, entertaining though, Chris Evans either plays as captain A or a nut case in most of his later Marvel films.

Not a lot out atm, some interesting advertised for next year. Christopher Nolan does have a interesting coming out
