Dune (Widescreen)

»rank: 7380
Our review: :Even more than most of David Lynch's deliberately bizarre and idiosyncratic movies, Dune is a 'love-it-or-hate-it' affair. An ambitious, epic, utterly mind-boggling--and, let's admit it, all-out weird--adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel, Dune remains one of the most controversial films in the director's exceedingly provocative career. The story (if Dune can be said to have just one story) is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition; it has something to do with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious spice and gigantic sand worms. Think Shakespeare's Henry IV with a dash of Tremors, and set in another ...

The Angry Red Planet
(more)
»rank: 14494
Our review: :Although widely admired among longtime science fiction fans, The Angry Red Planet is merely a substandard entry from the genre's 1950s heyday. With wooden performances, atrocious dialogue, and some monsters that would scare only very young kids, it's perfect fodder for a rainy- day marathon of cheesy movies, as long as you keep your expectations low. Following the standard plot of its day, the movie tells (in flashback) the story of four astronauts who land Rocket M-1 on Mars, only to find the 'angry red planet' lives up to its nickname. The plants are carnivorous, there's a gigantic 'bat-rat-spider-crab' that can snap humans ...
