Dune part 2 covers the second half of the Dune novel. It is visually appealing and the additional characters are introduced. It feels unfinished at times. I can’t tell if they are waiting to do Dune Messiah. It is a very good movie that requires part 1 to understand. I think I appreciated the character building more in the first movie. However, it is still good movie and a must see for fans of the book.
Cinematic Coup de Grace

Thoughts on X
X is a horror film that takes place in 1979. The characters are well acted and the cinematography is very good. I wish I liked it more. It largely made me uncomfortable, which is in no way the sign of a bad movie, but it did make it difficult for me to get enjoy it as a whole. It wasn’t for me, but it is very good otherwise.

Thoughts on Insidious: The Red Door
Insidious: The Red Door is the fifth movie in the Insidious franchise. The movie is fine. For a pg-13 thriller, it has some atmospheric shots and plenty of jumpscares. This novie is a servicable sequel that at least somewhat concludes the Patrick Wilson story, albeit with a mediocre third-act.

Thoughts on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the latest of the Indiana Jones franchise. The action, story, and acting are all very good. It’s certainly better than the last entry and has a nice charm to it. If you like other Indy movies, you will like this one.

Thoughts on the Barbie Movie
The Barbie Movie is a remarkable movie. The set and costumes are great. The script is fresh and relevant to modern topics. The acting is also great. It is a very clever movie that is worth checking out.

Thoughts on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mahem
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is the latest animated TMNT property. The animation is really cool and stylistic. The story is sweet and a really freah take on the turtles. It was a really fun watch. I recommend it to anyone who liked or like the TMNT gang.

Thoughts on Cobweb
Cobweb is a horror movie that is visually appealing as well as tense. The first two acts are well-acted and showcases some very compelling camera shots. The movie takes a detour to goofy town at the third act. Still, streaming is the way to go to check this movie out.
