| Comments | A direct to video sci-fi film, which was undoubtedly timed to come out when Denis Villenueve’s Dune was originally intended to hit theatres. I’m sure the very prominent use of the word Dune in the title is pure coincidence. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Of all of Peter Jackson’s Tolkein adaptations, the adaptations of the Lord of the Rings novels likely will hold up the best with the transition to 4K, due to the heavy use of practical effects augmented with digital effects – so if you got a 4K player, pick up these.” Blaine says, “The Lord of the Rings and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse are both must-own titles, so 4K owners should pick those up at some point or another if you don’t have them already. If you don’t have a 4K system, the Bugs Bunny set is the only title that stands out to me.”
Popeye staring Robin Williams is a favorite of mine. I grew up on Popeye, but, asides from the movie and a DVD of ‘banned cartoons’ that featured Popeye doing a hula dance with a topless Betty Boop I have no memory of his cartoons, so by default Robin Williams has become my go-to example. Plus, as a father of three, my wife and I sped a lot of time saying “Children, phoeey!“
