Dune: Part Two (2024)
Sci-Fi classic in the making
Where most sequels cannot live up their expectations when the original movie is already of high class, Dune 2 does not disappoint at all. The cinematic shots with the dessert as background are astonishing and beautiful. And when watched in a Imax theater, even the sound effects are literally breathtaking. For my taste there is a little bit too much religious orientation with "the chosen one" kind of vibe (this reminded me of a movie trilogy of more than 20 years ago). But luckily, it stays realistic and there are no signs of an unrealistic "Disney/Marvel" kind of magic like "the Force" or ""Quantum Worlds". You can actually feel that this might be our future in about 10.000 years from now and when the movie was finished, I had the same kind of feeling after I saw the sequel of the Godfather, the Matrix, Batman and the Lord of the Rings. Therefore, for me, Dune 2 is a 100% (sci-fi) classic in the making.
Hardcore Never Dies (2023)
Unexpected good "Narcos from the Polder" movie
Already mentioned in previous reviews, the title of the movie suggested a close view of the Hardcore scene in the 90's. I suppose it triggered a lot of old school hardcore fans like me to see the movie. Instead, it was more of a family drama and a nice Dutch version of "Narcos from the Polder", shot in the background of the 90's Hardcore Scene. Pleasant to watch and well acting skill from the young actors who probably where not even born yet to have experienced that time. Nevertheless, musically speaking we were treated on some nice hardcore classics but I still missed some classics from famous DJ's from that time like DJ Paul and DJ Rob for instant. I do hope we will see a real movie from the Hardcore scene someday. Perhaps shot trough the eyes of a DJ from that era..
