Dune Part Two review
The Dune books by Frank Herbert are widely said to be impossible to make into movies or shows. However, a few have tried and the latest is director Denis Villeneuve with, first, his Dune Part One film in 2021 and now Dune Part Two. Overwhelmingly, the consensus is that Villeneuve succeeded beautifully with his first Dune film in introducing movie audiences to the world of Dune. Now we get his Part Two which continues the story of Paul Atreides, who is royalty, but also could be the most powerful being in the entire universe someday. What will he do with this power? Will he engage in good to help out the people of the universe or will his power end up killing billions of people? Dune is also about Paul’s alliance with the people of the planet Arrakis, known as the Fremen. We also see his battle against his enemies, the Harkonnens and the Emperor. Is Dune Part Two entertaining as it tells this complex, twisted tale? Check out this show to find out. Dune Part Two stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgard and Charlotte Rampling.
Doctor Sleep review
Greetings my movie maniacs and my fellow freedom-fueled film fanatics! I bring you another Movies Merica episode in my Horror House series and this time I’m spoiler-free reviewing Doctor Sleep, the sequel to the horror classic The Shining. The little boy Danny Torrance from The Shining is all grown up and can still shine, but it makes him a target of the ghosts from The Outlook Hotel. He’s learned to live with it but he discovers a young girl, Abra, who can also shine is a target of a new evil. A group of psychic vampires that feed on the shine of children then kill them. Danny must step up to protect Abra and take care of unfinished business. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny, now Dan Torrance, Kyliegh Curran as Abra and Rebecca Ferguson plays the sinister Rose The Hat.
