Throwback Thursday: La La Land (SPOILER HEAVY!)

So I wanted to have my American Horror Story Throwbacks written before Halloween... but that didn't happen. It's hard to watch AHS like that lol. Anyway... here's my review on La La Land which is a movie that came out some time ago and I watched it just in September I think? Maybe October? I thought this movie was really good. It was kind of hard to watch because it was sad. I didn't want to see them break up... I actually started watching this movie one day and then didn't finish it until quite a few days later because I didn't want them to break up... and I could see the movie was going that way and it made me sad. Lol. I loved the chemistry between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. They both sing really well too... Gosling isn't the best singer- but he's so good looking and he's just got swagger and is right for the part. Emma Stone is pretty amazing... she definitely deserved the Oscar that she won... she's been fantastic in every role I'v...

Throwback Thursday: Chicago

So this was a really pleasant surprise Throwback Thursday. I haven't seen this movie since... before I went to college... so it's been quite a while and when I watched it that time I was like "Yeah... I've seen this movie enough. I've seen the play now... it's nothing different." And now it's probably jumped the list to my Top 5 Favorite movies of all time. Maybe right behind Despicable Me... it's great! I've seen the play Chicago for my friends graduation... and I knew this movie so well that I was really excited to see the play... and the play was soooo great... but the movie was also really great too. The play is all on stage so it doesn't have the beautiful sets of the movie and the juxtaposition between what is actually going on and the "musical inside of Roxy's head." which is something I really liked in the movie! They really could not have gotten a better cast for this movie either. The singing in it is all amazing...
