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

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
