#MiniReview #Movies I’m a fan of heist movies, which naturally made me want to give El Robo del Siglo (2020) (The Heist of the Century) a shot. Based on a true story, this Argentinian movie delivered on several fronts. In contrast to American movies where the police is invariably depicted as serious, the police negotiator is shown losing his temper with his own colleagues, which makes for welcome comedic relief. On the whole a very good movie I’d recommend even for people not specifically interested in heist movies.

#MiniReview #Movies #VideoGames Having played several of the games, albeit never to completion, I was curious about Borderlands (2024). The distinctive “colorful apocalypse” aesthetics are beautifully rendered, and the general tone is as unserious as the games’, making for an entertaining experience.

My only regret? There’s a lot of shootin’, but no lootin’ at all, despite it being the main point of the game. I was expecting one of the main characters to spend some time comparing two weapons at an inconvenient time, but no dice.

#MiniReview #Movies Dune: Part 2 (2024) is a faithful continuation of the first movie. A lot of spectacular and pointless fighting and too little but tense intrigue. Overall a good spectacle way showier than the books.

Awaiting the hopefully last movie in the series. Much like Star Wars, this franchise has the potential to bog down with each subsequent release.
