Sorry I am not an aficionado on the subject. We learned about this fabulous Canadian area and its famous hotel where the Donald made himself a fool. It's a dreamland to those of us who are bound to the American southwest for our work (including everyone at Hollywood).

This exceptional 2017 documentary film on Frank Cabot's Les Quatre Vents. The film is about an extraordinary giant garden park designed by Cabot, an American businessman who immigrated to the Nova Scotia area circa mid-20th century.

Here in Los Angeles we go to the Huntington Gardens. It is our hope to someday travel across country to the northeastern part of the North American continent, Montreal etc and also to visit Cabot's Gardens during that vacation trip. In the meantime, we have this film to remind us of this special place we wont want to miss.

Whereas taking out time for trimming trees, shrubs and pruning is an essential part of gardening, in our house Monty Don has become the hero of daytime television viewing. Off hand, I recommend season 19 episode 6 wherein you may learn the basics of plant feeding: the three primary grow nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, apply once a week. Monty Don's easy going manner makes learning about horticulture a pleasure. Plus, the wife always giggles when his dogs make an appearance.

There are other, more agriculture based programs from BBC, whereas this one is focused mostly on flower gardening and vegetable raising. With write-in (home video-in) guests on every episode equally shifting between Monty's pleasant demonstrations of his work on Long Meadow at Herefordshire in western England. It's no wonder this is a very popular series in England.

Various gardens and parks are featured in short segments, shooting from throughout England and including many guest videos from overseas. Always attention is payed to learning exactly what has gone into the growing of various featured plants as well as an appreciation of how gardening can help everyone's spiritual, nature bound attitude toward life. Watching this program somehow better inspires me toward environmentalist issues than watching how the world's environment is being destroyed in TV news shows. Both are valid, but this is the one that gets me off my butt to do something about it.

The show works as both a gardening aficionado check-in and a general public learn-about. I love watching and always come away feeling closer in touch with nature and with a newfound desire to enhance my own suburban house's backyard and front yard gardens. Here in an extremely dry and windy, difficult-to-grow area: a Spanish styled home located in the high deserts of dry Ventura County, southern California USA.

Nonetheless we are determined to infuse shaded areas with moisture helpers of brick and running aquifers, fountains etc in order to grow our bushes, ivy, flowers, veggies and fruit trees right along side all of our desert succulents. Thanks so much for a great documentary program!

This gargantuan epic Science-Fiction feature adventure film will hold up throughout your November month of horror and the dead saints etc. Pay a fee and flip the switch to "on" as the screen then lights up your living room in dismal grays and ominous dust storms meant to suffocate all mammalian creatures heretofore lost in the alien deserts of life.

Deep in humanity's future, mutations have occurred, including mental telepathy as a religion and discovered spices on distant planets which may be used as fuel for hyperspace travel. Quests for land and resources accompany and/or conflict with deeply religious throngs of species ensnared in philosophical, environmental mantra.

Seven stars for sheer visual and audio entertainment on our big screen.

I never read the book even though I'm old enough to remember its popularity circa 1960s-70s. Consequently I feel for viewers who get lost in the vagueness of lacking plot transparency. Dune has carried that notorious serendipity since the beginning, adding to its mysteriousness, so they say.

Never mind. The solution is simple. Mosey on over to the Plot Summary link on the front page and click it, then read. It will be long and, however you will thank yourself in the end for doing it.

This is like Star Wars without the obligatory camp. Classier and thankfully so. Science Fiction and Horror stories reach for philosophical ministering and find it hopefully in a whimsical manner that is entertaining for the observer. The Sorcerer's Apprentice comes to mind, in terms of music piquing one's imagination. Edgar Allen Poe as well, or Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, a read that always sends the imagination reeling, but which merited qualification has fretfully eluded all performance and recording media artists who attempt to re-arrange it in another agency.

Dune's epic fashion of mysterioso seems timely. Ready-made for a French gift to American Sci-Fi techno-anime film production work, Cinéma du look. The director famous for a slow, ethereal pace is welcome in this line and the synth-heavy music is, like its predecessor, also hospitable here.

The message includes but is not limited to Lucas' spiritual redemption and freedom from tyranny mantra; here the audience is also treated to a smattering of ancient as post-modern sociology 101. Mass movements of various folk, whether from spiritual awakening, greed driven acquisition or what not, is plenty realistic. Particularly in a desert setting. Reflecting in today's audience mind contemptuous if eradicable colonialism spawned industries of hate periodically arising in media news.

The bear, also massive, bigger than Godzilla (Big), is a deadly worm through which Dune sequels undoubtedly will reveal ever more detail. As the protagonist must bravely, if reluctantly ride a giant worm for any self-respecting Dune fan to approve of the proceedings.

Thank goodness the word "dune" conjures such a dry, remotely dangerous image in all humans' minds and imaginations. It will suffice for the danger factor. On top of the fact that this planet, like Tom Hanks' latest robotic Finch on a sky-scorched Earthling environ only decades in the future, has an atmosphere so dry and hot that survival in said desert is dubious at best: one needs seek shelter from the heat, or else! And whatever you do, don't expose your skin to this burning sun like you were thinking of getting a sun tan. New rules for suntan lovers: Just Don't Do It.

Masses of enslaved or otherwise compromised, hood-flocked innocent folks at northern African locales and points east is the rule of the day in such epic Science Fiction tales. Lucas filmed in Libya with hardly any attention paid to this kind of picture. Whereas Villeneauve films obligingly large crowd scenes in Jordan deserts, Middle East. Reminiscent film-wise of Spielberg's classic remote exterior chanting African crowds ala Close Encounters of the Third Kind. All of it is near to areas known to be politically charged today. Which may add to the fantasy of conflicts plotted deep in our species' future and/or on alien fantasy worlds yet to be explored.

Throughout this, a young protagonist (Timothée Chalamet) experiences various metamorphoses. Dressed first in urban dark gray/hues of black royal cloaks, and then changed to the dirty, covered in dust, vanilla colored clothing obligatory in harsh desert climates, here thankfully not named corny things conjuring tattoos on desert biker gangs. All, complete however with special hydration unit attached for necessary survival gear: this is serious Sci-Fi fantasy.

We do get a preferable, neat catharsis. Perhaps obvious to some viewers from the beginning of the show, it's the protagonist Paul Attreides discovering the beauty of modesty over his former, overly proud and affluent regal state of mind.

Now it becomes the crowning moment in ours, this first set of a trilogy clearly meant to explore that environmentalist subject: modesty over greed. Hopefully with as much slick, ethereal production quality as is found in this rather large, yet desirable feature film. Well worth two hours of viewing time. Although its broader appeal may be limited to Sci-Fi fans and a few strays they can serene over to the couch for company.
