| Hidden Figures | 2016 | 100 | 1 | (full review) - My pic for BEST FILM OF 2016 is HIDDEN FIGURES. I've seen it twice and I've cried tears of joy each time. I'm so glad these amazing women with incredible minds, have now been publicly recognized for their gifts and talents which contributed to our country's space travel. But it's also a good movie too in terms of heart,pacing,characters,music & joy! | | Fences | 2016 | 88 | 2 | (full review) - Denzel, through his impeccable direction and August with his impeccable pen, immediately make us, the audience, feel a connection with the characters thanks to the humor as well as the intimacy of the setting. It really feels like you, as an audience member, is right there, laughing at all of their jokes right along with them. That intimacy is held throughout the entire film, captivating us from the beginning to the end. | | La La Land | 2016 | 75 | 3 | (full review) - Seb & Mia are what really make this movie sing! This is Stone and Gosling's third movie together (Stupid Crazy Love and Gangster Squad) and you can totally see they understand how to sell that old Hollywood Duo appeal. Gosling is fantastic in most everything, but sometimes his roles are so sardonically off-putting, you have to love him from a distance. As Seb, he's still got edge, but he's also completely adorable. |
