Great flick!

I really enjoyed the movie. I thought that there was some good pacing good vibe just all around well executed fun movie. I’ve been wanting to see this movie for a while so I’m getting to see it on the big screen was fun. I didn’t realize there was a Peter Fairley movie was definitely well directed. It was a simple story but a lot of fun. Just to see how far we have come as a country in the last 2034 years maybe longer it’s pretty amazing to see and I hope we can continue to do that as a world. These music movies always make me wanna play some music. Hopefully I can get inspired enough for one day to go home and do it.

I really liked this movie. It was kind of simple and nothing too flashy about it, but it was just telling a story very well cinematically. There was a sad story but singing on the big screen was awesome. It really got me to feel what was going on. Then some of the editing was just amazing the use of lighting, tricks and short clips jugs to pose to the man dreaming and thinking about things. Very well done I like those reminiscing kind of movies they make me feel own bits of my own life. It just goes to show that you can tell a simple story and still be effective. Well done.

La La Land

2016

Directed by: Damien Chazelle

Written By: Damien Chazelle

Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt

Cinematographer: Linus Sandgren

Editor: Tom Cross

I loved it. It was great. It wasn’t like overly amazing and it definitely didn’t under perform and is way better than normal so I’m not really great at these reviews yet. I just speak my mind. But I love Ryan Gosling. He’s one of my favorites and Emma Stone is amazing. She’s just a very dynamic actress. This movie though was just filled with awesome practical lighting scenes where they would just kind of theatrically change the lighting throughout the scenes and it was just done masterfully. Not a huge musical guy, but I do love music when you put the right people, and this is kind of based more than the jazz which I love it. Just hit all the marks for me. And I’m also a sucker for most Hollywood films so yeah, just a few good movie and I mean I like that they actually ended the film with an amazing what if kind of dream sequence to the one piece of music that was like kind of being dangled in front of you throughout and it was this parallel universe of what if I did this differently and got the girl, but they didn’t change it like he didn’t get the girl and I like that as much as I’m a sucker for you know them finishing with that good feeling. I’m also really proud of people who can pull it off that it doesn’t have to have that complete ending for it to be a great finish. This was the best finish. I can imagine in terms so. I just liked it good times good vibes had the whole movie theater to myself once again . Great job!

Much better than I expected the sound design was awesome. The visuals were great. The acting was impeccable. I loved Dracula. He was amazing and overall just an excellent movie hide almost gave it a nine but I think I’m gonna give it an eight and I can’t explain why, but maybe you’re missing the it factor or something I don’t know

Directed by: Paul Feig

Starring: Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Skenlar, Peter Colondro

Cinematographer: John Swartzman

Editor: Brett White

Wow! Definitely better than I expected. Great flow to the movie. It’s very engaging entertaining well lit fundamentally strong story. Acting was definitely on point the twist in terms throughout the movie made you sitting on the edge of the seat for two hours and 11 minutes seems to fly by. Definitely don’t know what to say except it. It wasn’t anything that I expected. It is way better and I’m not really those kind of movies generally but I’m glad I watched it. It was so intense at times just wondering what was gonna happen. And I feel like they ended the movie full circle which I guess I like those kind of movies. Definitely worth a watch is a true thriller/mystery film no bullshit.
