Dune: Part Two

2024

★★★★★ 9

There is no one in this room who can stand against me. Your mothers warned you about my coming. 

Every decade or so a generation is given a film of such great magnitude that it essentially shapes up their lives. It goes without question that Dune: Part Two triumphantly reaches this threshold. Epic, ambitious and immersive on all levels. Villeneuve uses his imagery to portray the complex relationship surrounding religion and power through the use of every technical element possible.…

Vibrant stunning visuals depicting the beautiful world that is Cybertron to Optimus and Megatron’s tragic backstory. Absolutely a dream come true and must watch for every fan. The set up for the War of Cybertron films after this makes the potential endless. Truly rocked my world and the kid in me.

The Godfather Part II

The Corleone family was like the Roman Empire.

How do you take arguably the greatest film ever made…and make it better? Exceptional execution of the tragic concurring timeline’s seen between Michael’s fall into the abyss and losing his family during the pursuit of a power he never wanted—and his father’s rise to power in hope’s of creating a better life for his family. Robert De Niro was phenomenal as Vito Corleone and somehow followed up Brando with an iconic performance of…
