Dune (2021)
See it!
Dune was fantastic.
Finally an adaptation worthy of Herbert's vision. 👍🏻👍🏻
Just the first half of the first book, and he did take some liberties for the sake of flow, but he hit all the key plot points, and my goodness what a gorgeous visual and auditory feast. Strong performances all around from the cast. Villenueve takes his time building a world that is vast and captivating. Very much looking forward to part two.
I will say it's a mystery to me why he left Feyed-Rathua out of this installment, but hopefully he'll make an appearance in part two.
Also if you're not familiar with the story, definitely not fit the younger audience. The villains are true villains and some scenes are not for younger eyes. (War violence - including some brief and slightly off screen but intense gore - and frightening characters, more grown up themes than say Star Wars)
Mission Stories (2021)
Wonderful film - looking forward to more chapters!
I'm really grateful for the inspiring messages of this film. Writer/Director Bryce Clark tackles some really tough and emotional subject matter and weaves several short stories into a beautiful tapestry of redemption and healing.
It is a spiritual film that never loses sight of the fact that we are all flawed and broken in some way and in need of a Savior.
Some very strong performances from the cast and an absolutely stellar soundtrack. The camera work and editing were also top notch.
