Dune 2 was excellent. Truly a stunning movie to watch between desert scenes, massive ships, and intense music. I hope Villeneuve makes a third.

I liked Dune 2, but I think I'm the only person who like the first one better.  I really enjoy world building and I just found the first movie more intriguing. But they are both excellent.

I saw the new Ghost Busters last night.  My kids both enjoyed it -- although my nine-year-old son turned to me halfway through and said "there's not a lot of action in this one is there" -- but I was let down.  The nostalgia factor worked again, but nothing else really seemed to.  Too many characters, a really thin plot, and as mentioned not a lot of action.

"Civil War" was the best film I've seen in theaters in a good while. It paints a pretty accurate picture of what war-torn countries look like. A lot of Americans casually toss around statements about how we need a civil war here to right the ship.

They should give this movie a watch.

In part it succeeds because it's not overtly political. Once order breaks down everyone is held to the whims of whoever is holding the guns.

Also watched Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. It was a decent film but had far too many characters. Would have worked better as a series. Dan Aykroyd is in top form though, which is nice to see.

Dune 2 was good. Agree with Roy the first was better. Less action but better world-building.

I saw Late Night With the Devil a couple weeks ago.  I enjoyed it a lot.  It's set on a late night tv show in the late 70s, and it captures that vibe perfectly.  Does a great job of slowly building the tension as the movie progresses.

I saw Dune 2 yesterday and yes I did like the first one better. I felt the plot was tighter and easier to follow. As someone who hadn't read the book beforehand I found Dune 2 a little confusing, I felt the characters and their relationships weren't as fleshed out. I had to go read up on things on the internet after the movie to figure out why some things happened the way they did. As a spectacle though it was outstanding - I could have watched it early access but I popped in to watch it after lunch and I was one of 3 ppl in the theater and it had fully reclining seats, that was a lot of fun, feeling like it was my own personal theater  :laugh:
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Saw this last night.  Very even paced and mostly well done.  It didn’t fall into an action:war trap.  Definitely a different watching experience than I was expecting. 
Yup

Civil War. Didn’t like it, didn’t dislike it. Just okay.
