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...

Chart Chat 3/1/17

This is an interesting week for movies... right before the Oscars... I was excited at the Number 1 movie... it's one that I want to see and I've heard is really good... I thought it was an independent movie... but I'm guessing not. 10) Lion- This movie I've heard is really good. I asked my Facebook friends what their favorite movie of the year was... a few people mentioned this as being really good! I haven't seen any Oscar Nominated movies... so the Shanny goes to Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. Really great reviews... great story... everyone in the movie seems very, very passionate about the film as well... so this just seems like a great one. I don't think it won any awards... but I'm sure this will be very well remembered and well loved. 9) Split- Again this is a thriller and quite a thriller! The way my friend described it just made the suspense sound amazing and it even had some moments of comic relief in it. She also didn't think it o...

Oscars 2017 Recap

We've got a lot to go over tonight... let's start wit the big one... Mahershala Ali is the first Muslim man or woman to win an acting Oscar! I know this probably isn't what you were thinking of as "The Big Thing" but frankly... this is what people should be talking about! What an amazing achievement. I haven't actually seen any of the movies... but from reviews I've read and clips I've seen... he really makes the movie. A lot of the times an AMAZING supporting actor or actress can make the difference between winning Best Picture or not winning best picture. And Mahershala isn't really known to be an a-lister or anything... he's been in lots of movies- Boggs in The Hunger Games and he was on House of Cards and Luke Cage... it's still not a name I think has been heard before... and now I'm sure his name will be well known and he'll go on to do a lot more stuff! Good job Mahershala! Great accomplishment. Okay so now the big moment ...

Chart Chat: 12.26.16

10) Nocturnal Animals- This movie looks interesting to me because it is directed by Tom Ford, who is a famous fashion designer and has a line of very luxurious makeup. Plus I like Thrillers a lot and this is a thriller. So I'm happy this is doing so well! 9) Doctor Strange- Again... haven't seen this at all yet. There is some controversy over the casting of Tilda Swinton... google that to see how you feel... I'm not opposed to the director having a different vision of the character... but I also don't like how he defended his choice and it is a big problem. I'm interested in the character Doctor Strange, so I think I will try to watch this one when it is available to watch. I've heard its visually stunning... and I love me some Cumberbatch. So the more I've been like "nah I'm not interested" the more I'm like "you know what... I gotta see this one!" 8) Arrival- This also sounds like a very interesting movie. I would probably w...
