Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings |  2021

Blurb
I’ve seen Shang-Chi & LOTR three times now. Once in the theater (Amazing on the big screen) and twice on Disney+. The film hits all the high notes - writing, directing, acting, comedy, martial arts, action, costumes, sets, camera work, props, and VFX. This film brings joy with each viewing and glimpses into new layers each time. Watch it on the biggest screen possible with an appetizer spread and champagne!

Dune |  2021

Blurb
Two hours and 45 minutes should feel very long in pandemic theater viewing. Delta still rages and this was the film I was willing to go to the theater for. Part 1 is beautiful. The visuals, costumes, sets, camera work, and acting are all top notch. Knowing the story is helpful as Dune is Game of Thrones huge packed into almost three hours. Hoping we get to see Part 2 as soon as possible. If you are a fan of the 1984 version (I mean it’s got Sting!) you will not be disappointed by the remake. I will watch this again on streaming after I see Dune 1984 again. Sake and Sushi feel appropriate for the visually feast of this movie!
