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

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...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
