Latest Micro-Reviews - Edition 8

Disturbia

71

Obvious comparisons to “Rear Window” but with some modern twists. Good suspense, little gore. Worth the watch, if you’re in the mood.

Dune (miniseries)

86

At this length, the story can make sense, unlike the 80’s movie. Though almost all the actors were unknown to me, the stars were excellent, particularly Newman as Paul/Muad’Dib. Easily re-watchable.

Stranger Than Fiction

69

Hey, here’s a movie with Will Ferrell that I actually liked. The comedy came from how a real person would react to an impossible situation, not from silly Ferrell characterizations.

Game Box 1.0

34

Not a good movie. One or two interesting concepts, but poorly written and executed.

The Mummy

81

FX galore; plot moved; Fraser seriously funny

Footloose

74

Shows its age, but it’s still a fun coming-of-age show. Lithgow’s character is great, and he’s so good at it.
