La La Land is a love letter, a walk to memory lane of the musical in 50ties n 60ties. Think West Side Story, Marry Poppins n My Fair Lady. It's ambitious, it's vibrant, it's colorful, it's beautiful n well acted. I urge ppl to give it a shot to immerse in a different kind of cinematic experience. It will pull ur heart strings in love, passion and dreams. The 3rd act and especially the montage elevated the movie to masterpiece. This rare gem is a 5 out of 5.

I went into Arrival with high expectation. The thought process and how it kept u thinking about it even after the credit rolls is haunting. In short, The movie is what I wanted Interstellar to be "And More". I wanted interstellar to be as perfect as possible n although it is good but it did left me slightly un-satisfy. Arrival on the other hand left me awestruck with its message that life is not suppose to be focusing on the end state or the end goal, it's more crucial and important to focus on the experience / journey instead. Although the plot revolve around alien invasion but the focus is more on communication and reality of how the nation are dealing with the situation like this if it really happen to us. Its a character driven n thinking movie. Not the typical bs cgi fest like Independence Day. Arrival is Brilliant story telling not to be missed. 5 out of 5.

Moonlight - Powerful. La La Land you are down to #2 spot!
Screener courtesy of Jack Sparrow. Was really eager to watch this cause all the highly reputable critics (I don't mean the youtube kind) waxing lyrical poem of this freaking amazing film. It's not a misery porn or brokeback mountain clone, it's so much more than that. The formula is like Boyhood but with a proper story behind it and jaw dropping performances packaged with great cinematography. In many ways it's a coming of age archetype, but exploring topics we have seldom seen portrayed in a film before. Mahershala Ali brief appearance just cemented his ascension to the serious actor A-list club and a heartbreaking performance by Naomie Harris that question your faith in hope at all. The journey of seeing how the boy becoming the man is beautifully structured and powerfully realized. It's like watching a new auteur reinventing a wheel who just not nailed the journey payoff, but a destination that's worth the effort to reach. |

I would be surprised beyond belief if it arrives here in local cinemas even for a week. |

Not that it's saucy or anything of that kind, just don't see the tuan-tuan at LPF willing to greenlight it to screen locally. Imagine humanizing those drug dealers in "the Wire" to tell a beautiful gay story.
Psst!!! not that I swing the other direction...the storytelling and crafting won me over with an ending that was earned and not like those freely preached in a fairy tale romance. If those don't get this movie so be ready to hear stupid rhetoric like "too gay" or would rather "watch paint dry" kinda knee-jerk response. Just a little preamble when we know that many still not that open-minded. |
