La La Land Review

So, the other day I went and saw the movie La La Land. To be honest, I thought that it would be good, but I didn't realize that it would be that good. The lighting was well done, the music was enjoyable, the dancing was superb, the acting was great!
 The transitions to the musical elements of the film was well done. Especially for someone who is not that into musicals. 
It was impressive all around. Props to the camera operators. 
Damien Chazelle (Also the Director of Whiplash) did a great job with his direction in the way he has taken this film.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have done amazing job's acting in this, in my opinion they really became the characters that they were portraying on the big screen.
You know when you're at the theater and your drink is almost gone and you know if you take another sip, you're going to make a slurping sound, but you think, "I'll just do it quick, besides I'm kind of thirsty, hopefully no one will really pay any attention to it," so you take a quick drink. During the last half of this film I was starting to become thirsty but I felt if I took a drink and there was a slight slurp sound, then I would be insulting the film. Damn that is good filmmaking! 
My only real problem with the film is in the first half were I believe that they could have brought some more realism to the film, but on the other hand this first half of the film felt like it was a big homage to earlier cinema, which it basically was... so I can't really fault it, because it did what it set out to do, it's just a great piece of cinema.


finale score: 4.9/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
