I guess I could've seen Spider-Man 3 in theaters tonight, but I went to see the movie about a space dick, then the movie about space drugs instead...

'EXCLUSIVE: DNEG, the visual effects firm behind titles such as Oppenheimer, Dune, and Knives Out, has hired Oscar-winning VFX vet Tim Burke as Visual Effects Supervisor.

Burke will be based out of the company’s London office. Across a decades-long career, Burke’s most notable credits include Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, for which he picked up the Best Effects Oscar, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, for which he received a BAFTA for Best Special Visual Effects. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban earned him a Visual Effects Society Award for Outstanding Visual Effects in an Effects Driven Motion Picture.

Burke joins DNEG following his work as a production VFX Supervisor on The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey. His other selected VFX Supervisor credits include Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Legend of Tarzan, and the last four films in the Harry Potter franchise, with director David Yates.

“The recognition that Tim has earned in our industry is incredibly well-deserved, and I am proud to welcome him to DNEG’s creative leadership team,” said Namit Malhotra, DNEG Chairman and CEO. “Tim has played an important role in the development and success of the visual effects industry in the UK as a talented and highly admired production VFX supervisor for directors such as Sir Ridley Scott, David Yates, and Alfonso Cuarón. I am thrilled to have him on board as part of our senior creative team as we chart the course for DNEG through the rest of 2023 and beyond.”

Talking about his new role, Burke said he has been working with DNEG as an independent VFX Supervisor for 20 years and has been “watching the facility grow from strength to strength” during that time.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was one of the most memorable films to supervise. It was the end of an era for everyone who had worked on the Potter films, which had been so instrumental in building the UK visual effects industry,” Burke said. “Working with DNEG to complete the final battle scenes and those memorable last shots of the kids standing in front of the destroyed Hogwarts was such an awe-inspiring thing to be part of – a moment in cinema history.”'

Dune: Part Two (2024) review

I’m fully aware that the Dune sequel has been hit by acclaim from both critics and audiences, and I shall share my own thoughts in due course, but also whilst presenting itself as a serious and sophisticated piece of artsy science fiction tackling challenging themes of religion and politics, from a marketing standpoint this film has been a major farcical meme. From the popcorn buckets shaped like suggestive sand worms (or more so accurately as deformed buttholes) to the viral TikTok video of an unnamed man riding a makeshift sand worm around a cinema lobby on his way to Arrakis, or more likely to one of the gazillion screenings of Dune: Part Two. But yes, absolutely mad bonkers advertising techniques, and not at all reflective of how seriously and straight faced the actual film plays. Anyway, let’s talk Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuneee…..

Plot: Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the universe, he must prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

Controversial opinion - I was not a fan of the first Dune. I thought it was all spectacle and no substance, and even then in regards to said spectacle, it was just sand. Lots of sand and bland dark visuals. I understand that the first movie acts as a massive exposition piece with lots of world building and introductions of all the characters and various political families and the spice trade and all that sweet jazz, but honestly it all felt so dragged out. Also a lot of narrative choices felt really immature and I did not buy it. In fact, the only memorable part for me was that female voice screaming on the music score every time something crazy happened, and my does that woman have some strong vocal pipe work! Like damn, her screams…. I really felt them!

Going into Dune: Part Two, I was very much of two mindsets. One was more so a feeling of obligation to watch it, as I wasted 3 hours of my life watching the first one that I felt I deserved some kind of closure for my efforts. The other being Denis Villeneuve. Aside from the first Dune, he’s a director that has constantly impressed me with his unique vision and style. Simply look at his past filmography! Prisoners. Enemy. Arrival. Sicario. All impressive pieces of genre filmmaking. Then there’s Blade Runner 2049, that took the classic Ridley Scott movie and managed to improve on it and become one of the most thrilling science fiction epics of the last decade. Also the trailers looked appropriately exciting, and it seemed like the second movie was actually gonna deal with some serious shit finally. Again, my problem with the first Dune wasn’t that it was slow. I mean, I can happily watch Paris, Texas any day of the week and be mesmerised by the empty yet beautiful takes of the American desert. It’s more-so that the first Dune felt aimless and messy. As for Dune: Part Two?

Well, if we’re going to use The Lord of the Rings terminology, and boy am I happy to refer to the dear-to-my-heart Middle Earth whenever I have the chance, then Dune: Part Two holds the scale of The Two Towers. I may not agree with all of it, and there are still some moments that drag, though The Two Towers is also guilty of that - I’m looking at you Treebeard! But overall this is one hell of a cinematic experience and achievement. Visually for one this is eye-candy. And yes, yet again there’s lots of sand, but this time around Villeneuve manages to find very creative ways to add/take away colour to make many sequences truly impressive. There’s an early scene where the Fremen are fighting Harkonnen goons in the desert and the entire thing is seeped in this blood orange palette, reminiscent of the Martian Chronicles, and then there’s the part where we are introduced to the Harkonnen home planet where the entire screen is drenched in hardcore intense black-and-white due to their sun only giving out white and black light, and instead of fireworks there are these watercolour stroked exploding in the sky, to of course the much talked about eye-dropping sand worm riding into battle scene that had the feel of the giant elephants appearing in The Return of the King, and yes that was another most delightful reference to Lord of the Rings! As I was saying though, the entire movie visually is certainly something to be in awe of.

Also Hans Zimmer’s score!! Of course the man’s a genius, having composed so many of cinema’s greatest musical compositions. I can recommend his Live in Prague performance! Hit after hit, and I find myself spinning it on my record player a good few times. Hans Zimmer’s Dune: Part Two soundtrack feels like a thunderously bombastic continuation and expansion of the first film’s more quiet and moody opener, and that shift in tone allows for some truly spectacular weaving of the composer’s thematic tapestry for Dune – with the finest new thread being the absolutely gorgeous love theme for Paul and Chani. A truly beautiful piece that echoes the heartbreaking tragic nature of the central romance of the film. Needless to say I’ve already pre-ordered the limited edition coloured vinyl of Dune 2’s soundtrack from Mutant (the new Mondo).

As for the narrative, as that is where I felt the first film faltered the most in my humble opinion (which I share so publicly online). I really do feel like the sequel is a major set up, for since the first one focused more on the endless word building and set-ups, this movie is all about the character developments. The scope is still big with the various political and religious elements that are tackled and explored throughout, however at the same time Dune: Part Two manages to feel more intimate compared to its predecessor, with the unravelling of the romance between Paul and Chani, but more so the inner struggles of Paul Atreides, as he tries to balance his emotions of revenge with the feeling of wanting to belong somewhere, as well as his denial of being called the so-called Messiah to the Fremen people. Look, the idea of the chosen one has been a concept that has been done over and over again, however I felt here they managed to really make it feel unique and different, with Paul choosing not to take this major responsibility due to visions of the future where he sees this choice result in darkness and dread, yet at the same time realising he has no choice but to follow his destiny and calling. It’s powerful stuff.

The cast list is stacked in this one. Timothee Chalamet is a rising star, having previously excelled his dramatic chops in Call Me by Your Name and his charismatic whimsy in last year’s Wonka, but this is by far his most impressive acting feat. You truly feel his character turning from boy to man, and it’s a real and raw performance. Zendaya shares great chemistry with him, but also in her own right gives a strong turn as a warrior Fremen conflicted with what she sees and thinks. Javier Bardem’s Stilgar adds a slice of surprising humour to the mix, being so obsessed with Paul being part of the prophecy that anything he’d do, Stilgar would find that to be part of what has been foretold. Paul Atreides could literally fart and Stilgar would observe in wonder proclaiming “as it was written”. There’s also a tiny No Country for Old Men reunion with Bardem being joined by Josh Brolin, who’s alright by the way, though it’s a typical Brolin brute role. Charlotte Rampling as the Reverend Mother continues being truly despicable and honestly that wench deserves to be put in her place - the movie’s ending is very satisfying in this regard. There’s also some newcomers to the Dune world too. Florence Pugh as the Princess reminded me a lot of Padme from Star Wars, and Christopher Walken I felt was tad miscast as the Emperor. Don’t get me wrong, Walken is a great actor, but his way of speech has been impersonated and overdone so many times that it is difficult to take him seriously in a role like this. Minus a couple of strong deliveries Walken felt really lazy here. You know who wasn’t lazy though? Austin Butler! This guy understood the assignment, playing the psychotic nutter Feyd-Rautha and he’s truly unrecognisable. Even his voice is different. Gone is Elvis and in cometh his Skarsgard impression! He’s brutal and maniacal and was honestly superb, and I wish there was more of him in this movie.

Again, it’s far from a perfect movie. There are parts still that drag, and certain times where things feel surprisingly rushed, but overall this is an experience through and through, and unlike my feelings after the first film, here I find myself really looking forward to the inevitable third part. In fact f*ck it, who am I kidding - this movie is bloody incredible!! Like I can’t even - it’s abso-fricking-lutely spectacular!! And by the way I read a bit about the Frank Herbert Dune books now and the future sequels are gonna be mad, just saying. Paul’s son becomes this half-man half-worm known as the God Emperor! Things are gonna get weird! Anyway, Dune: Part Two - go see it if you haven’t already. And in Austin Butler’s voice: “may thy knife chip and shatter”.

Overall score: 9/10

When I was just a wee child, in between tales of his own pyrotechnic youth, my father would often tell us bedtime stories that mostly ended up being oral retellings of the 1980s and 90s' finest horror and action films. One of my favorites of this time was the retelling of Ridley Scott's Alien, a film itself reaching mythical status within the world of scifi cinema.

Therefore I went into Alien with a certain understanding brought to me by my father explaining the physics of the chestburster to my 4-year-old self. The plot and quality of the film did not surprise me. I already knew it was going to be good.

What did surprise me was how immersive the entire world of the film was. I knew it was going to be good, but unlike other scifi films you never really had to suspend disbelief. This movie fully drew me in, and it communicated space travel in a very naturalistic way that didn't require poking a pencil through a folded sheet of paper to get me to take it seriously.

Part of this came from the decades of scifi that had come before it, anchoring concepts like hyperspace travel into familiar landmarks that needn't be explained further just as Alien itself shaped the landscape for the films that came after. Regardless, Alien entranced me and felt so fully realized and grounded in a way that a lot of new scifi fails to no matter how gritty it tries to be.

Jodorowsky's Dune is likely to thank for this. Either way, go watch it.

Hello 🌻

hope you are having fun during your holiday :)

So... I noticed in your bio you describe yourself as a film snob, and I was curious if you could put together a list of films you believe everyone should watch. It doesn't matter whether they're niche films or d'essai or blockbuster, I used to adore going to cine-forums and watch every kind of genre, they always leave you something to bring home

Thank you! <3

(Sorry for the ramble, but I'm stuck in bed for the next couple of weeks with way too much free time, and I figured I might as well put it to good use! xD )

Ohhh my god, Ari, you have no idea just how badly I wanna hug you right now. Films and filmmaking are one of my special interests and I could literally talk your ear off about the industry!

Please keep in mind that these are just my personal picks/opinions, and I am almost certainly forgetting a few because I'm doing this off of memory. I'm also not including any films that I haven't seen yet (there are a few classics that I embarrassingly just somehow never got around to seeing that are currently in my watchlist) so if you notice any strange omissions that's why. Please keep in mind that I tend to prefer dark, pessimistic films, so this list is going to reflect that.

If you'd like specific recommendations, wish for me elaborate anymore on any of these films, or want a part 2 to this, please let me know!

Also, I recently got a Letterboxd account back in December, so if you want to see what I've been watching recently, give me a follow over there!

Under a read more because this got LONG.

Alien (1979, Dir. Ridley Scott)

Aliens (1986, Dir. James Cameron)

My 15 Most Anticipated Films of 2024!!

These are far from definitive, and quickly thrown together just right now. I'm missing a bunch that I'm legitimately excited over as opposed to some of these that I'm just kinda looking forward to, but I'm blanking on them, right now, so y'all get these, instead. Enjoy!

Madame Web (S.J. Clarkson, 2024) – 2.14.24 Meh... kinda looks garbage, but Sydney Sweeney as Spider-Woman, so... yeah.

Dune: Part Two (Denis Villeneuve, 2024) – 3.1.24 Part One felt too incomplete to not be excited for this. Hopefully the pacing is better.

Mickey 17 (Bong Joon Ho, 2024) – 3.29.24 Thoroughly enjoyed the book and I love Bong Joon Ho.

Civil War (Alex Garland, 2024) – 4.26.24 The scope of the trailer sold me.

Challengers (Luca Guadagnino, 2024) – 4.26.24 Zendaya + Guadagnino has me sold.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (George Miller, 2024) – 5.24.24 Haaave you seen Fury Road?!?

Ballerina (Len Wiseman, 2024) – 6.7.24 Ana de Armas in a John Wick spinoff... yes, please.

Inside Out 2 (Kelsey Mann, 2024) – 6.14.24 The first was so emotionally rich. I want Pixar to make me cry again.

The Bikeriders (Jeff Nichols, 2024) – 6.21.24 Love Nichols' previous films. Excited to see what he delivers with this cast.

Deadpool 3 (Shawn Levy, 2024) – 7.26.24 Wade + Logan Forever.

Alien: Romulus (Fede Alvarez, 2024) – 8.16.24 Huge fan of the franchise, won't ever not be excited for an Alien movie.

Beetlejuice 2 (Tim Burton, 2024) – 9.6.24 God, the first is just perfection, skeptical but excited to see what Burton has up his sleeves for this one.

Joker: Folie à Deux (Todd Phillips, 2024) – 10.4.24 First was meg, overall, but Phoenix was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Lady Gaga does with Harley Quinn.

Gladiator 2 (Ridley Scott, 2024) – 11.22.24 Meh... this is here because of Ridley and Denzel.

Nosferatu (Robert Eggers, 2024) – 12.25.24 My actual most anticipated film of 2024. Hate that Anya isn't attached, but the promotional stills have killed any doubts I might've had.

There they are!

As for My Best of 2023, once again all of the major lists will not be getting posted until mid-January, but I’m going to try to get some of the early lists – such as Posters & TV – sorted and posted over the next week or two. Please Feel Free to Follow Along So You Don’t Miss Anything!

Stay Tuned!

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017): REVIEW

I am a huge fan of the original Blade Runner film (to clarify I mean the Final Cut anytime i refer to "the original"). I couldn't see this in theaters during its initial run and in some ways avoided the film because I didn't want to be potentially disappointed. The marketing at the time was (rightfully) vague and I wasn't sure if Denis Villeneuve had the chops to pull it off. But after seeing Dune in theaters in 2021 I knew I needed to finally give this one a shot but continued putting it off. My brother brought it up this week while I was visiting family and I agreed we should watch it while I was there... well, I am happy to say that I absolutely am impressed and floored by the sheer magnitude of this film and the only thing that would have made it better is to watch it on the IMAX screen it was clearly intended for.

For a film like Blade Runner to get a "legacy" sequel at all is honestly wild to me, but for it to work in the way it does is fucking insane. It pairs perfectly with the first film and doesn't try to recreate the magic of it but instead building upon what was already established while forging its own tone and pacing. Villeneuve's approach to capturing the visuals of that universe is so eloquently executed that it's hard to imagine anyone else (even Ridley Scott himself) being able to bring that universe back to life in a way that feels organic and real, especially 35 years after the fact.

The story is so fucking clever and it's inspiring to see a legacy sequel not rest on the laurels of the past but instead organically take it to an interesting place that doesn't feel forced or unwarranted. They also could have easily phoned it in, easily could have made Harrison Ford a focal point instead of letting Gosling lead the story, they could have easily just made a beat for beat remake of the original film. But they didn't. They took risks, they subverted expectation, and we got an incredibly inspired film because of that.

Gosling is phenomenal here. He's phenomenal in anything he does but his performance here is so grounded and real. He has the chops to have one on one scenes with a legend like Harrison Ford and seem comparable to him. The entire cast is brilliant and I'll even hand it to Jared Leto in that he was selling the sinister nature of his character without overselling it, which I feel can be more of a testament to Villeneuve's direction more than anything but still. Sylvia Hoeks... Ana de Armas... That is all.

My only gripe is the pacing of a few scenes just feeling a tad too slow in the moment of my first watch but I think I can chalk that up to pure anticipation with the story. Outside of that? This is a perfect sequel to a film I already love to death. Can't wait to watch them both back to back someday soon. Truly blown away and happy. Also happy that this film has somehow never been spoiled for me, I was genuinely taken aback at times and I would have been pissed if any of what I saw was spoiled for me before tonight. Bravo.

5/5

I love awards season, not just to see the films and series I love possibly be rewarded, but because it helps the year go by quickly. My last Oscar FYC event was the day before my first Emmy FYC event. My last FYC Emmy event was late August - my first film awards season FYC event will be this weekend.

Slowly but surely each studio will put forth their FYC slate. So far only a few have updated their page.

Amazon so far has up AIR, AMERICAN FICTION, BOTTOMS, THE BOYS IN THE BOAT, THE BURIAL, CASSANDRO

starring the always excellent Gael Garcia Bernal, with Bad Bunny

GUY RITCHIE'S THE COVENANT, presumably titled as such in case we confuse it for this THE COVENANT.

MORE POTENTIAL OSCAR AND GOLDEN GLOBES NOMINEES

CREED III, FOE starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal,

A GOOD PERSON, LANDSCAPE WITH INVISIBLE HAND, A MILLION MILES AWAY,

Emerald Fennell's follow-up to PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, SALTBURN

starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi

and the documentary SILVER DOLLAR ROAD.

For now Searchlight (a holding of Disney) has gone all in on Yorgos Lanthimos' POOR THINGS starring his THE FAVOURITE star Emma Stone.

The film took the Gold Lion at The Venice Film Festival. While that is the only film they have a page for, their banner includes Taika Watiti's NEXT GOAL WINS, THEATER CAMP, FLAMIN' HOT, CHEVALIER and ALL OF US STRANGERS starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal.

Sony has slim pickings for now with only DUMB MONEY, SPIDER-MAN ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and Ridley Scott's NAPOLEON (starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby) on their site. Surely their big bet is on the latter two.

Disney has ELEMENTAL, WISH, A HAUNTING IN VENICE, Gareth Edwards (ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY), THE CREATOR starring John David Washington, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 3, INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY, THE LITTLE MERMAID, QUIZ LADY starring Sandra Oh and Awkwafina and Jeff Nichols' (MIDNIGHT SPECIAL) THE BIKERIDERS starring Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and Jodie Comer, alongside Mike Faist, Boyd Holbrook and Norman Reedus.

WB hasn't updated their site and to me it's the biggest question mark of what their plans are. Surely the will put up BARBIE, but with DUNE PART TWO being pushed to 2024, the question is will they do the bare minimum qualifying run (releasing it in one of 6 cities by the end of the year) without cast promo or just do the campaign for the 2025 Golden Globes and Oscar season.
