'Dune' Disappoints
Dune has stunning visuals, a striking soundtrack, and great performances. But it has issues everywhere from its pacing, to its story, to its diverse representation.

Three hundred years ago the evil planet Oz developed thousands of supernatural organisms that were locked in a black hole. Unexpected jolts cracked the wall of space-time and it fled to Earth. Some of them were assimilated by humans and lived in peace with them. However, some of them are dangerous aliens from outside the human race. The hero, Lan Jue, is a hybrid between Earth and an alien species, and he, along with Yusheng, a parasitic creature, and Sophie, a human girl, solve the various alien mysteries that they encounter on Earth.

With mismatched eyes, a willingness to experiment with hair color and style, and a rail thin frame, Bowie always drew attention. But he shunned gendered attractiveness, creating his own space somewhere in between. This hallucinatory and often nonlinear 2022 documentary is a perfect salute to David Bowie’s life and career.

Bowie was more than just a pop star. He painted, sculpted, acted in films, and was a thoughtful and articulate person who gave sincere answers to even the most shallow interview questions.
