Dune (1984) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Reviewed: 2024-03-17
I watched this because I like the new ones so much. This version isn't very good. The acting is terrible. It feels really rushed, like they were trying to hit all the important parts of the book instead of just telling a 2 hour long story. Also, why is there so much steam and backlighting? Seriously, there's steam everywhere!

This is a brilliant movie, and I'd give it four stars if I didn't have to pause it to go read a plot synopsis of what was happening. It's hard to follow for no reason. But it's beautiful and well acted.

This has a really clever premise, and they get into the weird parts just enough to make that side of it interesting. But, on the other hand, it's a pretty standard falling-in-love movie. The main charactes are great.

I'm kind of a sucker for slow, quiet, sad dramas. This one is all that, and it's well done. Jennifer Lawrence is ok, but Brian Tyree Henry is amazing.

This is the worst movie I've seen in a good long time. The story is ridiculous and the comedy completely falls flat. And worst of all, it's a movie about two people falling in love who have absolutely zero chemistry.

This is a rare war / action movie that doesn't also try to be a love story and a patriotic story. It's just an intense situation where people do their best to make it through. Tom Hanks kind of phones it in, but it still works.
The Terminator (1984) ★ ★ ★ ★

This movie has all the ridiculous music and special effects you'd expect from a scifi movie in 1984, and yet it's a good movie. The story is scifi, but linear and doesn't get in the way of the action. The acting isn't bad. And, the ending wraps everything up nicely.
True Story (2015) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Most true crime movies are pretty terrible, but this one is good. I followed the main character's relationship journey with the killer perfectly. Strangely, it felt a bit rushed. I normally wouldn't ask for another 30 minutes on any movie, but I think this one could have used it.

David Fincher is one of my favorite film makers, but I did not like this movie (or Mank, his previous one). Don't get me wrong, it's a stunningly beautiful film. But, the story is boring and the main character is really flat.
The French Connection (1971) ★ ★ ★ ★

I liked this movie way more than most cop movies from this time period. It's basically just two cops following drug smuglers around New York City for two hours. But, somehow, it's really engaging. My only complaint is that it ends really abruptly.
X (2022) ★ ★ ★ ★
Reviewed: 2023-11-11
I didn't know this was a slasher film going into it, and I'm glad I didn't. It's a strange mix of throwback slasher tropes, a combination of good and bad acting, some rough-around-the-edges writing, and really nice camera work. The overhead shot of the girl swimming in the pond is amazing.

This is the worst Batman movie I've ever seen, and possibly the worst Superman movie. Although, to be fair, all Superman movies are bad. This movie throws away much of what makes superheros great. They could have gone dark with it, but instead it's just a very generic story. Meh.

I've been so excited to see this movie! Every review I've read is: love it or hate it. Well, I loved it. It's scary in a way I don't think I've ever experienced before. It's quiet so quiet, and that makes it terrifying. It's going to stick with me for longer than most movies do.

This is probably the scariest movie ever if you're a woman. She's new in a foreign place. She's stalked, but it's not 100% clear that it's happening. Her husband is supportive, but not totally bought in. It just keeps building. It's really, really good.
