Interesting, while I love the visuals in Lynch's Dune, I didn't find it a good movie otherwise. I thought the SciFi miniseries was a much better capture of the story, if not as visually compelling. Which surprised me as I am usually quite fond of Lynch's work.
Just watched another movie where I found the visual eye candy to be the best part of it, Tron:Legacy. Stunning visuals, meh story and script. Best to put it on with the sound down and play music.
The best movie I've seen lately is "Everything Is Illuminated." An amazing film that starts off very funny and ends as a sad, poignant, compelling story. Very well done and thought provoking.
Also enjoyed "Secondhand Lions" where Michael Caine and Robert Duval play a pair of crazy, tall tale telling uncles who raise their nephew. Funny and surprising.
