The Black Phone

After being abducted by a child killer and locked in a soundproof basement, a 13-year-old boy starts receiving calls on a disconnected phone from the killer's previous victims.

Let me first just state that it is an amazing movie, one of the best I have seen in a while. I would rate this movie ten out of ten stars.

There are only two things I want to touch upon.

First, the sister is my favorite character in the film. Yeah, she's got a Jesus thing, but honestly it adds to her character in such a good way that you can overlook it.

Secondly, it is never explained why the abductor kills these boys.

Scream 2

Plot:
Sequel to the 90's slasher of the similar name. The survivor(s) from the first movie are going about their lives when the "ghost face" killer returns.

Thoughts:
Not seen this one, which is why I watched it - it was "alright". The first one was alright as well, and this is more of the same to be honest. Plot is generic, and there are twists/turns towards the end that all make sense within the world.

Onto the next one!

Malnazidos, aka Valley of the Dead

Months after bloody combats leave behind thousands of dead in the trenches. Jan Lozano, Captain of the Fifth Brigade has fallen prisoner by an opponent's platoon along with a young driver while carrying out a mission that has been entrusted to him. The possibility of dying executed will soon be overtaken when a new unknown enemy arises. Both rival sides must unite and set their mutual hate aside in order to survive.

AKA, it's a zombie movie.

I watched the newest 'Dune' movie. I signed up for HBO just to watch that and Bill Maher shows.

I was very impressed by this new version on Dune. It matched the book very well, and I appreciate that. But as the movie went on, I was wondering if it was going to last 5 hours. Because they were only halfway through the book after 2+ hours.

Well, they stopped halfway through, with Paul and Jessica meeting the Fremen. I hope that means there is 'Dune, Part 2' coming soon. Just looked it up. Part 2 Oct 2023... I wish I had known that watching the first part. I would have waited...

But I got my money's worth on HBO with Bill Maher. He's brilliant. Watched 3 shows so far and looking backward to older ones. Naturally, he goes on vacation just as I sign on... LOL! But I'll enjoy the sparkling wit of the older shows until he returns.

If only someone had mentioned it here before...

Quite a good adaptation of less than the first half of the book.

Never immersed myself in the Dune universe before, so here we go.

I watched part of the Eternals. It was enjoyable, but I got distracted by something. I forget what.

Dune: the year is 10k+ and the phrase "god in heaven" is used. What sloppy writing.
