Dune Part 2 (In Your Blue Eyes), Ep. 2 MRwOS
Dave reviews "Dune Part 2", directed by Denis Villeneuve, and plays his Dune-themed song, "In Your Blue Eyes" (co-written with Jay Allen).

Welcome to Movie Reviews with Original Songs, aka MRwOS! I am your host, David Coile, and I’ll be reviewing a movie I’ve watched recently, then pair it with one of my backlog of original songs.
If you enjoy the program, I encourage you to like, follow, and share, or to support the program by subscribing to patreon.com/davidcoile.
In this episode, I’ll be reviewing the film “Dune: Part 2” followed by a performance of my original song “In Your Blue Eyes” written with Jay Allen.
Movie: Dune, Part 2
“Dune, Part 1”, from back in 2021, ended in a cliffhanger, but Part 2 is well worth the wait. Director Denis Villeneuve is back with stars Timothee Chalemet, Zendaya and an all-star cast. Adapted from Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel, this film does a great job condensing and balancing the complexities of the book on the silver screen– 5 hours stretched over 2 films still isn’t enough to capture everything, but everything flows and nothing feels forced. The cinematography and art design is beautiful, in contrast to David Lynch’s adaptation from 1984, which was equally inventive, but reveled in its ugliness. Villeneuve’s vision manages to convey the oppressive dystopia, but while still being appealing to the eye. The acting is superb throughout, and they handle the action and political intrigue with equal skill. It’s early in the year, but if voters remember it come the next round of Awards Ceremonies, don’t be surprised if this gets some nominations for Best Picture. This is an epic space opera, but it’s not as fun as Star Wars. This is speculative sci-fi, but it’s not as optimistic as Star Trek. Tonally, this film has more in common with Blade Runner, which, coincidentally, had its sequel directed by Villeneuve himself. Dune, Part 2 is a feast for the eyes, but it will also challenge your mind.
Song: In Your Blue Eyes
I wrote “In Your Blue Eyes” with my friend Jay Allen, who frequently plays bass with me. It was the first time we had written together, and he had been reading Dune at the time, so we decided to write a song about it. Whenever I write about something so specific, I try to make it so it can have double meaning. There’s some of that here, but once you get to singing about sand worms, all bets are off.
