Not going to lie the amount of time it took me to go from "Is that Charlton Heston?" to "It is! Why does he look so dark?" to "Oh he's Mexican... oh shit is that brown face?" was way longer of a realization than I care to admit. Along with its ummm... shall we say dated portrayal of the Latino population its posterity has some questionability. However, if you can look past that what you'll find is that this has…

Dune 2021
If you think about "Dune" this moment has been a long time coming. Science fiction fans have long been waiting for the stars to align for it to finally have the adaptation it deserves yet was always considered nearly impossible to accomplish.

However, coming from a music background I found having the central character’s be a savant that everyone ohs and awes over to be cringe in its unrealistic nature.…

Stand by Me 1986
Rob Reiner is one of those guys that either makes incredible, timeless classics or he makes bombs you wish you could forget (sadly that's mainly his recent efforts) yet with this film I have to say it's his best. Based off a Stephen King's non-horror stories and with an all-star cast of Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman and the late River Phoenix, this film perfectly grasps the understanding of childhood. Sure, I didn't relate at all to the adventures or even…
