Movie Review
Grade: A
A love it or hate it film, "Dune" is David Lynch's attempt at mainstream cinema, and it is certainly anything but. A mixture of politics, mysticism, sci-fi and action, it is easy to see how the 1984 film doesn't appeal to anyone, but if you're a fan you'll want to check out the 190-minute extended edition, out on American DVD for the first time.
