Dune (2000)
a few notes
Dune was a fantastic book and the miniseries is more faithful then most to its source material. It was pretty long but it had to be to get everything into it. I was hoping for a little more from Thufir Hawat who is a bit of a non factor and is killed early on. whereas in the book he is captured by the Harkonnen. The casting seemed pretty dead on, no one seemed out of place. This was a marked improvement over the cheesy dune movie from 84. Princess Irulan does far more in this miniseries then in the book. In the book she is total background. They just have a lot of quotes from her. Plus, watch the directors cut, and tell me Chani doesn't have some great tits.
Drinking Games (1998)
A good independent flick
A good low budget movie that feels like a night of drinking with a few friends. A mid twenties big chill. You find yourself identifying with one of the characters and see your friends in the other roles. It does run slow at times. It does have some mid twenty standards like drinking games (obviously) like quarters and I never. Also some casual sex, and thats not usually a bad thing. This isn't the easiest movie to find though, it's usually in the five dollar and under bin. The performances aren't Oscar worthy, but hey, it probably was made for less then the computer you're on. If you don't like movies in one location that are dialogue driven, then pass on this and rent some crappy action movie.
