Dune: Part Two (2024)
I haven't felt this way after a movie EVER.
I went to the 10:15 pm showing of this movie.
Unfortunately, I'm a notorious night film sleeper. Just to give you a taste of what I mean, I fell asleep during John Wick 4 during that same 10:15pm showtime. (How is that possible? I don't know).
I did not miss one second of Dune: Part Two. I was immersed in the experience from the moment the film started.
Villeneuve's visuals were stunning and the score enhanced the experience 10-fold. I'm far too young to have seen the original Star Wars or 2001: A Space Odyssey in theaters, but I can imagine the buzz that that audience felt leaving the cinema knowing that they had just seen something that they didn't think was possible on film.
I have never seen anything remotely like this. It's artistic, but not pretentious. It's complex, but not convoluted. It's a master class in the power of sound.
10/10.
Norbit (2007)
Super offensive, super funny...
I really liked this film. It's dumb, but the jokes landed for me and it was pretty fearless in the topics it tackled. The reviews are ridiculous, just watch it and make up your own mind.
Utopia (2020)
I expected this to be terrible.
I LOVED every minute of it. I liked the characters, the twists and turns and the storytelling quite a bit. It is hyper-violent at times, but I think it's balanced out with some pretty dark humor. I truly think the critics (and many on this site) are dead wrong about this one, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gains a dedicated cult following in the next few years.

This movie made me a dog person. I have no been so disturbed in my life.
