The Baker (2022)
What's with the Granddaughter?
You have a character probability around twelve years of age who is mute, has been attending a special school and is totally incapable of communication. She doesn't write out notes, she doesn't use sign language. I guess it's easier to hire an actress who doesn't have to do anything other than makfaces and act out. This simple fact makes the movie lose both points and credibility for reality. The basic storyline of revenge and protection of family is not bad, but the detractors make it hard to watch at times. Could have been much better if the granddaughters character was more believable over the course of the story.
Dune (1984)
Re-editing made it worse.
With the current hype for the coming part 2 of the new version of Dune, my son and I decided to re-watch the original. As soon as the first scene opened with the princess explaining the shortest possible version of the history we looked at each other. We stopped the video went back to the beginning to check and sure enough it was "supposed" to be the original. As the movie progressed we kept commenting I don't remember this or what happened to this scene. By the end of the movie we both felt like we'd been cheated by someone's new improved edited version of the original movie we've watched so many times over the years. I don't know why people feel they have to change things that have been around forever. The only thing I can say is if you're a fan of the 84 theatrical version don't try to watch this versioni on any current streaming service, you'll be disappointed.
