Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic can be as dry as Arrakis, but as a whole, the novel is as addictive as the spice. David Lynch's bloated, New Agey mess, on the other hand, features soporific acting, laughably self-serious dialogue, and Sting in a thong: A bad acid trip that just refuses to end. —Keith Staskiewicz
