DUNE PART 2: An unbelievable triumph in sci-fi film cannon. Timothee chalamet is frighteningly transformative in his role but beyond that Denis Villeneuve has created something that might change sci-fi forever
Dune 2: We were skeptic at first but Austin Butler truly is phenomenal. His scenes with Timothee have an unmatched level of electric chemistry. Scenes that will certainly define sci-fi canon for generations to come. A perfect storm of acting directing and cinematography
Austin Butler's graceful acting transformation from the extravagance of Elvis to the bleak sands of Dune 2 is a mesmerizing ballet of cinematic artistry, a testament to his true powers in acting dominating softly through each moment in the screen

Zendaya's role is an exciting surprise defined by subtly & grace. Her performance delicately holds the emotionality of film together, a grounding force between the multiple cinematic titans she’s forced to balance between. It’s an effortless anchoring, enchantingly subtle

Happy Horror Movie Season! there’s no better way to get into the spirit of it than reading this amazing piece on the evolution of feminine rage through horror cinema by Anuska Roy!
Insane that KOTFM is not a front runner for best picture. The film is truly immortal on all levels. tough to watch but only tougher with current events. The ethnic cleansing playbook continues to be used across borders whether in Palestine or American indigenous land
