D.C.Reviews

1) La La Land. : Where to even begin with this? one of the first movies I saw this year and right away it left such a big impact and was in the running for my favorite movie this year. Everything about it is just perfect and memorable from it's characters to it's musical numbers which are just amazing to even the ending which really ended on a somber note but personally it was the perfect ending at least for me. This should have won the best picture at the Academy Awards, no offense to Moonlight but this was far superior. I love La La Land so much and still find myself going back to watch and listen to it's soundtrack every now and again and that is why it's my favorite movie of the year. 2 )  Baby Driver : Edgar Wright's masterpiece was something that came out of left field as far as I was concerned. I always knew Edge Wright was talented Scott Pilgrim and Shaun Of The Dead come to mind but I think this tops them all. It's fast pace and quirky dialogue not...

Having not see this movie during it's original release towards the beginning of the year I'm probably late to the party with this review but wow this movie really lived up to the hype that everyone I've talked to or seen talk about it. Get Out is unique in both it's story and character development. Sure it isn't going to be for everyone but once the ending came I was left with a sense of actually wanting more and that is the sign of a really good movie experience. As I said the story is unique as it showcases racism in a way that I've never seen in a movie. It's light hearted but sometimes goes full on dark in some of the latter scenes and the twist while predictable doesn't feel out of place at all and actually added more to the movie as a whole at least I say it that way. The performances are also really good here with Daniel Kaluuya playing his role to perfection. He's cautious, funny at times and down right brutal at others. Allison Williams...

The Pitches are back (sorry that was terrible I know) for one final gig and while there is some great moments the bad and silly moments completely outshine them. First off I'll begin by saying that I love the previous two movies the sequel especially being my favorite it really turned the volume up to the max from the first movie and it worked so well. This 3rd entry tries to do the same but it fails on a lot of levels and at times doesn't even feel like a Pitch Perfect movie which is so unfortunate because I really expected more from this especially as it is the sendoff movie in the franchise. And with that being said that brings me to my biggest issue with the movie it has no real identity. Sure it's filled with some charm from the previous two movies but besides that it tries to do a whole number of different things and it just flounders along. It actually felt a bit draggy at points only held together by the musical scenes which in true fashion are really good. But...

Having only gotten into this franchise not long before The Force Awakens arrived 2 years ago I unlike so many others really didn't get as hyped for this movie. I have some friends who were really excited for this and after seeing it I can understand why hardcore fans would be upset with it. But myself not really being that big of a fan it was a really enjoyable experience that while not perfect by any means it left me feeling satisfied once the end credits began to role. As I said I only got into these movies a little over 2 years ago and honestly I don't know much about the entire saga never really wanting to go into the lore of it all. The first 30-40 mins of this movie though wow it really drags it heels along. It's boring mundane and just flat out tiring. It's held together only by a pretty fantastic opening sequence right away stands out and you'll remember even when the movie ends. The performances in this are a bit hard to explain it's best to go s...

The Disaster Artist stars both James and Dave Franco among many other comedic talents. It is based on the true story of Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) an aspiring film actor who meets the weird and mysterious Tommy Wiseau (James Franco) in an acting class where they form a unique friendship and decide to move to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams. That's the story in a nutshell and what a story this is. James Franco is superb as Wiseau. Having just got nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance I would have to agree and really hope he walks away with the trophy come award season. He's funny, bizarre, cute and at times serious. Dave Franco also plays his part really well. His character being the complete opposite to that of James's and they share a really nice chemistry together (being real life brothers helps) as production begins on the movie that Wiseau himself writes he assembles a huge cast and crew and it begins. There is a lot of comedic moments peppered throug...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in t his review. With that being said let's get into it. Arrow's mid season finale has come and gone and while it wasn't a bad episode by any means but compared to the rest of the CW shows this week it was definitely the weakest.  Onto the episode now and it begins with a wedding reception for Oliver and Felicity who turns who fashionably late with her parents in tow. I don't ever remember seeing or hearing about her parents reconnecting but it seems they have. Oliver and Felicity share their first kiss first dance and enjoy the evening with all their closest friends. But not before Quentin Lance gets a phone call and tells Oliver that there is someone on the team who is willing to testify against him that he is indeed the Green Arrow. The team member is revealed later in the episode and it turns out to be Rene. He tells the team he was put in a no win situation as the FBI really put him under their microscope so to spe...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Gotham's fall finale has come and gone and it left us with one heck of an episode. The episode begins as see the GCPD raiding all sorts of places to find the PYG or as we now know him as Lazo Valentine. Gordon who is now in full on captain mode complete with the comic like trench coat manages to find a body but it's not Lazo as he has gone and gotten himself a brand new face or at least that is what Jim thinks. More on Lazo Valentine later.  Onto Sofia now and as her and Sirens attempt to confront Penguin she goes back to her place where Carmine Falcone is waiting. Yes! her father is back in Gotham after Penguin calls him to inform him of his daughter. Falcone tells her that he is very disappointed in her and if he didn't come she would be dead soon enough. He actually slaps her right across the face as Penguin ever the showman gloats in the background to the Sir...
