Made a rare trip to the cinema at the weekend to see Dune 2, film on its own 4.5/5, film compared to the books 2/5

The original Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze, 80's cheese but I love it.

Went to see Dune2. Good effects, but what do you expect. Far too much fucking love interest. Walked out at around 2 hours when Paul, the leader and chosen one, said to his bit of skirt 'I can't go South as I fear I may lose you'.

Fuck right off. Pile of shite.

 

[Mayor West]

The Guest.

Average turn your brain off action/thriller with a couple of stand out scenes

6.5/10

 

[Bill Walker]

Jack Nicholson, really good, I liked it.

Harakiri (1962)

Set in 17th Century Japan, an unemployed samurai's final wish is to commit harakiri (seppuku) at the manor of a lord, but is dissuaded when he is told the story of another soldier who made the same request.

Harakiri stands as one of the greatest anti-samurai films, up there with The Sword of Doom (1966) and Onibaba (1964) coupled with incredible performances, fantastic B&W cinematography & powerful imagery that produces dramatic and visual tension dripping from each frame.

Harakiri is a magnificent slow burn of a film with a highly immersive storytelling style that coils ever so tightly as it progresses throughout and a final act that elevates it towards its dark and tragic ending. The Takashi Miike remake of the same name (2011) although faithful to the source, doesn't hold a candle to this original masterpiece of cinema, get it watched!

11/10

edit: Harakiri is the highest rated film of all time on letterboxd (over 5K reviews) and also has 100% approval rating from critics and 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Started the Flash, can't tell you if it's the worst film I've seen because I lasted about 30 mins. Utter bollox and the CGI is absolutely shocking.
