Dune 2 didn't surpass my expectations but it is still amazing to watch. Now, more than ever, the cinema experience is pivotal to studios. Dune is one of those movies that really serves well the big screen because of it's sheer scale and magnitude. That said, the theater experience IS getting worse. I went with my brother and we had to deal with a cellphone message 'ping' quite a few times AND there was a nasty fly on the projector which just kept destroying that "sense of immersion" we so much look for. That said, the movie was good. Because I already knew the story from the original back in the 80's, it didn't suprise me, but I was hoping to see something really outlandish in this version that... well, it didn't happen. Also, the build up of Paul Atreides into Lisan Al-Ghalib (aka The One) was much, MUCH better done in other movies, like in The Matrix. Here the character seems to know exactly what it is but "pretends" not to be it. The battle at the end is big, noisy and foggy (a now

Next Goal Wins is a nice comedy based on true events. The trailer makes us think that it is about an underdog football team, which it is, but there is also a heavy trangender sidestory, which... look, it's not my fav, but it really doesn't hurt the movie. Actually, I think it kinda helps making it stand out, but for that reason I cannot say that it is for everyone. HOWEVER, if you keep an open mind and just want a good time, then yes. This does the job. Michael Fassbender is great at giving out puns and loosing his mind, and there is a very emotional moment at the end that really captures the essence of the entire movie. The movie is my Taita Wiki so it will have some "particulars" in his comedy that work for the most part, but not in every part. Still, deserves a look.

Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga really has nothing wrong with it but has I write this I am struggling to find anything really good about it that stands out as a "must see". The story, has the title says, had the secret religious society The Illuminati in it, but they're introduced very late in the series and do very little in it. I mean, most of it is just about school life but there are a few fights in the end. However, they/this are so lack luster that they really don't stand out in anyway. Furthermore, the story has doublecrossing and twists that make no sense and we are left with an impression of unease about where are the autors taking the main story, the characters (and I say plurar because the show seems to be missing a real "main" protagonist) and their arcs. It is no wonder Blue Exorcist has fallen from grace long ago, but I was really hoping this would revive my interest on the series. Sadly it didn't. Not bad, by any means, but also not something you should take time
