Haven't seen Dakota Fanning star in a movie for a while. Hope this is good, but you never know about a Shyamalan movie.

My wife and I watched "Hitman" on Netflix the other night and actually rather enjoyed it.

It's not going to win any Oscars for acting, but it was a fun "date night" movie.

It was superb. And she is absolutely amazing!

FINALLY....

One of the most anticipated sequels for me released it's first official Trailer. And it appears to be a must see.
The first film is one of the most scary and unsettling movies in recent memory. That was 2 years ago...

It was on this day, June 20, Jaws was released in the theater in 1975. Also the year I got married.

Here are some other interesting things that happened on June 20.

I liked The Watchers, M Night's daughter's directorial debut.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!!! ❤️
It had so much nostalgia and genuinely entertaining!

Alfisti · 07-05-2024, 06:55 AM

I'll try it but it's registering high on my potential shit meter.

I want to like it, but I fear it will be rubbish. I'll give it a try even though it's getting panned by the critics.

Esteban · 07-05-2024, 05:58 PM

Good or bad, it has to be seen. It's Axel Foley and the boys.

Watched last night. I can't say it lived up to the originals but it had some entertaining moments. I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

tcphoto · 07-06-2024, 03:47 PM

My family was on vacation and waterskiing when Jaws came out. We were at the pool at night and I ran up to the cabin to get something when I looked at the television and the trailer was running, the girl at the buoy at night. Needless to say, I was a little freaked out when we went skiing the next day.

Saw the second Dune movie. It's OK, some moments of utter brilliance and wonderful visuals as well. The casting of the bald villan was perfect but he felt late to the party and a bit rushed.

Looking at the two movies together, there was a lot of time wasted sitting around, chanting etc, on the whole spiritual side of the sand people. There was definitely room to trim the fat. Casting and writing for the lead female (romantic interest not the mother) was a real weak spot, it just didn't work.

Those movies had the fat trimmed big time from the original “real” story. So much is left out. They are good but in reality Dune should be a mini series of 6-8 episodes.
