January 2022 Film Round-Up
Yes, you read the title correctly. My monthly film round-ups are back.

Top 20 Films of 2021

House of Gucci: Review
Following my positive (yet kind of lukewarm) response to The Last Duel, I was hoping that Ridley Scott’s second directorial venture this year, House of Gucci, would turn the tables a little and give me something to chew on.

Dune (2021) Review
Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel ‘Dune’ is largely considered unadaptable due to the complexities of both the world Herbert so delicately constructed and the equally complex story within its boundaries. An abundance of filmmakers have tried to tackle it, including the notorious 1984 film adaptation helmed by David Lynch, which was perhaps unfairly considered a failure […]

Slight spoilers ahead, but nothing you wouldn’t find on the film’s Wikipedia page.
