 | Can Dune be done? Should Dune be done? Bringing Long Books to the Screen RunPee Jilly's thoughts on several decades of celluloid Dune, including David Lynch's offbeat effort, the Sci-Fi miniseries duo, and Jodorowsky's never-ran.

 *Don't tell them to break a leg.* | Movie Review – Poms (2019) Diane Keaton reluctantly starts a cheerleading squad for her new homies at an activities-stuffed senior retirement community. Too bad Keaton's usual charm is overshadowed by her much more interesting pals. Fluffy fun that rarely pretends to be more; worth a light evening's entertainment. Grade: C+ |

Grade: C+ |
