🎶…And here's to the fools who dream, Crazy as they may seem, Here's to the hearts that break, Here's to the mess we make…🎶
La La Land is a wonderfully scripted and beautifully shot film that at times feels almost like a misty fantasy world where dreams can and do come true. Sebastian "Seb" Wilder (Ryan Gosling) and Amelia "Mia" Dolan (Emma Stone) do an amazing job portraying their character. You could tell exactly what the characters are feeling and…
"I'm Cruella. Born brilliant. Born bad. And a little bit mad."
Cruella is an absolutely brilliant work of art and in my opinion, it's the best Disney live-action remake. It's basically "The Devil Wears Prada" Meets "Carrie", fuelled by the stellar performances by both the Emma's. Cruella de Vil (Emma Stone) and Baroness (Emma Thompson) are so badass in their roles. The music, the amazing fashion design, costumes, the special effects, the very strong acting by both Emma Stone and…
"First, we'll have an orgy. Then we'll go see Tony Bennett."
Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice is a fabulous film, a double-faced mirror projecting our own frustrations while allowing us to project our personal insecurities. It pretends to make fun of a certain "hip" attitude toward sex and couple, but underneath the little comedic quips, it reveals the stuff we hide because it's the right thing to do though we feel it's not. It doesn't cheat with reality, but through humor…
"Don't feel bad about losing your virtue. I sort of knew you would."
Klute is a great thriller. Alan J. Pakula builds a creepy, paranoiac mood that makes for mesmerizing viewing. Exceptional acting from Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda) as she portrays a call girl with a difficult past trying to be an actress. One of the best portrayals of a high end prostitute, her mental and moral decline, although I hesitate to use the latter word. Her cynicism, jadedness are…
🎶Grease is the word…🎶
Grease is one of my all time favorite musicals. It has an amazing cast, a dance, a pep rally, a carnival, great music, "Grease" has it all! It's got groove, it's got meaning. The cast in the film: Danny Zuko (John Travolta), Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John), Betty Rizzo (Stockard Channing), Kenickie (Jeff Conaway), Doody (Barry Pearl), Sonny LaTierri (Michael Tucci), Putzie (Kelly Ward), Frenchy (Didi Conn), Jan (Jamie Donnelly), Marty Maraschino (Dinah Manoff), Principal McGee (Eve…
"That woman deserves her revenge and we deserve to die."
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is a wild ride and very strange, yet the plot is simple. In typical Quentin Tarantino style, things are offbeat and contorted, but the plot moves along. It's a film about revenge, though it still manages to evoke laughter. I think that the film has the perfect cast, especially The Bride (Uma Thurman). Her acting is superb and very skillful with the action sequences. It's a…
