Dune (1984)
a movie I enjoy seeing again and again
My 1st real contact with the Dune Universe was around 1993 playing the strategy game Dune II on Amiga. Sometime later I watched part of the old movie on TV but I didn't get too interested. I thought it was boring or confusing. Anyway, this Dune thing kept showing up from time to time, like seeing a Dune VHS in a video-rental or such.
When I was shopping for DVDs a while ago I kept stumbling over 2 copies of the movie. The shop seemed like wanting to flood homes with this flick at such a price. Finally I just bought it. Kept laying around at home until I finally put it into my xbox to try it out. I think I was afraid of watching this movie which I suspected to be too complicated with lots of weird dialog and such. That all changed to instant fascination when I saw and heard the beautiful Lady Irulan's introduction "The Beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 10191..."
Now I really am in love with this film. Especially the beginning and the end-credits with it's great score. Sometimes I even put it on while taking a nap listening to the score and the great actors. Now I have ordered the longer DVD version, the 1st book, and the 2 other TV-series as well because I just want more of it. Will always have a place in my DVD collection.
Mandara (1983)
awesome Series !!!
innocent and beautiful girl Eltje gets seduced into becoming a priestess of death for an ancient Indian cult. Everybody she touches now with uncovered hands has to die. Can she escape her curse, or will she drag all the people she loves to doom?
this mini series which aired before Christmas '83 is extremely suspenseful and thrilling. i remember, i could hardly await the next part to play on TV, but unfortunately missed the last one... hope this gets released on DVD soon like other great series (Patrik Pacard, Jack Holborn). watch it if you can! unlike other crap aired on TV today, this was a very intelligent show with a truly great storyline.
I have seen this in German Language. It's probably not dubbed for English Audience yet. Some company should buy the rights and dub it. Would be well worth it.
