All our hopes and dreams, dashed. Dear Disney: please respect the universe and it's character, it's shape, and it's rules. You can't make star wars anything. It needs to feel like star wars.
Thank God the manadaloria exists.

La La Land 2016
An instant favorite of mine. One of the few movies that I've absolutely bawled at. Saw it like 4 times in theaters. Seen it countless times since. The acting is stellar. Gosling and Stone shine both individually as you learn to care about each character and their chemistry delights and breaks your heart as the story brings them together. Rare for a romance to create characters that are wholly their own and so well developed. Don't even get me started…

Nothing Really Happens 2017
I oddly liked this movie. The pacing for the first half is pretty laborious and generally uneven. The second half picks up and becomes more interesting. I generally liked the meandering dialogue, though it was certainly pretentious of being deeper than it really was. Our main actor had the cynical depressed stereotype down flat - would have preferred to see a less one note performance, thought at times it works really well. The directing and cinematography showed sparks of true potential and style, but both were inconsistent. This film will have a weird little spot in my heart - I liked it.

I like this movie less and less the longer I dwell on it and hear "critical acclaim" for it. The story and plot are not engaging, nor do the characters give us a reason to care about them. The cinematography gimmick is just that, a gimmick. The camera merely floats from scene to scene. It does not contribute to the storytelling; instead it feels like the story happens for the cinematography, a travesty of the artforms of directing and cinematography. This is a great camera test, but this movie deserves to be forgotten for its intense, hard earned mediocrity. Lesser than the sum of it's parts.
