DUNE (Part Two)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Mar 3, 2024

Book Review: A MASTERPIECE IN DISARRAY--David Lynch's Dune: An Oral History
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Sep 28, 2023
A few years ago I wrote a blog review on THE MAKING OF DUNE, a book written by Ed Naha and officially sanctioned by Universal Pictures, detailing the filming of the controversial 1984 science-fiction film directed by David Lynch.

Dune
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Mar 24, 2022

I came up with this idea while watching the 2021 DUNE on Blu-ray. The timeline for this would have had to have been the early 1970s. And yes, I'm well aware that Hammer wouldn't have had the budget to film even one chapter of Frank Herbert's novel. But the cast would have been great. read more

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 4, 2021
For being such an influential piece of Science Fiction storytelling, I must admit I have very little history with Frank Herbert’s Dune. I was aware of David Lynch’s adaptation, and I’ve recently been dipping my toes into the impressive mythos of the original novel. It works in archetypes that read more
DUNE (Part One)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Nov 1, 2021
Denis Villeneuve's new cinematic adaptation of DUNE is the best one so far. The choice to cover Frank Herbert's sprawling novel over two films is an intelligent one, as it gives the filmmakers far more time to cover various aspects of the complex story. (As a matter of fact, this first part of read more

Arrow Video has released a new Blu-ray special edition of the notorious 1984 film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel DUNE. That is the impetus for this post. There are plenty of people who hate DUNE. Most folks consider it to be too weird, or incomprehensible. (Ironically, hardcore fans read more
