Don’t love the player love the game

La La Land 2016

★★★★½ Watched 14 Sep 2019

Chazelle’s got the hottest camera dynamic in the game, and screw it, I’ll say it, he sucker punched me with a musical I actually... enjoyed, yes, enjoyed, not tolerated, or survived, but thoroughly enjoyed.
Inherent Vice 2014

★★★★ Watched 08 Aug 2019

-Loved the acting and characterization
-Cinematography was good but feel it lacked a little bit of the dynamic of PTA’s other films - the movement in the camera or the frame and the long shots, and the visual literacy
-Feel there was a fragmented effect in the story that fit perfectly with the stoner 70’s vibe (almost as if a lot of the inbetween chunks of plot got forgotten and hazed out)
-Soundtrack was a lil dull compared to his other movies
-Definitely worth a second watch though to clarify everything up
