The Quintessentialist

Dune Movie Review A Slow, But Grand Epic I was able to see Dune over the weekend and I must say that it is a perhaps the first true Epic of a Film that I've seen this year. However, that doesn't mean it's not without it's faults. I'm going to use the description from IMDB for this review, " A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, 'Dune' tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive." The cinematography is top notch in Dune. The acting is pretty solid as well. The score is a soaring. The pace, is a bit on the slower...

No Time To Die Movie Review Major Spoilers Ahead, Do Not Watch I just got out of seeing No Time To Die, the new James Bond film and the final Daniel Craig portrayal of the character. This film is trash. I'm not going to structure this review like other reviews. I just need to post a short rant. FINAL SPOILER WARNING!!! Alright, now that I got that out of the way, they kill James Bond. This is a sin against cinema. The movie was ok until it got towards the ending, but the ending just ruined it. This is just something that you don't do.  The cinematography is good. That was probably the best part of the film. I just can't get over the fact that they had the gall to kill him. As far as I'm concerned, the Craig films ended with Skyfall. final score: 0.5/5
