It's funny how I put this one off for a long time and now ends up being the latest addition to my top 100. An instant favorite that I didn't have very high hopes for beforehand. Part 2 wasn't bad, but not reaching the level of the first movie in the slightest (The Exorcist I rated 4/5, The Exorcist: the heretic 3/5), so why would that have been otherwise? You wouldn't guess, but guess what: The Exorcist III is better…

The Handmaiden 2016
I know I already did a review for it yesterday, but as I watched the extended cut with about 25 of additional material, I felt like I needed to write more about it.

There is some very interesting stuff going on in this, and its visuals are outstanding. It's quite unique as a dystopian vision in the way that it explores several things those movies hardly do. Ecosystems, bio-hacking, and futuristic botany and agriculture form the fascinating centre of Vesper and it's source to the cruel way existence in this world unfolds. Its overall story might be a good one, but although having great worldbuilding, this leaves a lot to be desired in…

Dune 2021
Not since a certain trilogy about a certain ring we've witnessed a vision as grand as Denis Villeneuve's Dune. Another story that was said to be unfilmable due to its massive scope and enormous worldbuilding. Now, the most ambitious director working in Hollywood today, pushed bounderies, reached to the sky and beyond to create a grand, in surreality drenched adventure that is, in the first place, overwhelming. Every single image, every single setpiece, every single costume and every single tune…
