You did, yes, and I expected Dune to be bad. It's also Lynch, so I had to pick the DVD up when I saw it cheap. I plan on hunting down Wild at Heart next.
Thirteen ** (1st Time) 2004, Hardwicke, US A teenager whose mother is seeing an ex-cocaine addict and whose father is never around for her turns to the school's most popular girl for comfort. Surprisingly solid drama of the troubles of peer-pressure and where it all leads. If the narrative gets a tad repetitive and at times a little unbelievable, for the most part it delivers its message well.
Dead Man ** (1st Time) 1995, Jarmusch, US A clerk from Cleveland finds himself pursued by the law, and is taken through the wilderness by a native Indian. Odd take on the Western; a mystical approach with brilliant black and white photography and a haunting score.
Beauty and the Beast **** (1st Time) 1991, Trousdale/Wise, US A prince cursed to living as a beast holds a village girl as his prisoner in the secret hope she can break his curse. Glorious animated musical, a return to sure form from Disney after years in the wilderness. Animation and songs are both fantastic; the characters are sublime.
