After all the adoration, the awards and the praise, I give my opinion on La La Land. Is it the best film ever? No. Is it the Worst? Nope. Its alright, if flawed in my opinion.

A Bit of a Misfire for Netflix, with this absurd dark political comedy being a bit all over the place.

Guardians of The Galaxy - Movie Review (Spoiler Free)
Is it possible to have separation anxiety from a film?
I will look at Guardians of the Galaxy, in much the same way as I look at Dr Who, They both have their flaws, but deep down inside of me, they seem to muster a child like sense of glee that seeps into my bones.
Which is why it's hard for me to be objective in my review, but'll try.
On second thought... F**k that.

The Purge: Anarchy - Movie Review
So, here we are again, ready for our annual Purge, although this years Purge is a slightly more ambitious B grade movie that has an abundance of good ideas, instead of just the one.
The original Purge film, was a good example of a floundered idea, that merely used the good concept as a reason for a home invasion flick.
While this years Purge tries to be a bit more ambitious with its concept, by adding commentaries on class, wealth disparity and Gun control. And to be fair it doesn't do a bad job at either.
The story starts basically with 4 individuals beings stranded outside on the night of the Purge, due to some unfortunate series of events, when a mysterious stranger (basically The Punisher) attempts to help them survive the night. What follows could be considered a gritty road trip movie through the various events that occur on Purge night.
As a whole the cast do a good job, with Frank Grillo being the standout, providing us with a bad ass with a hidden motive. While the rest of characters seem to be too inconsistent and lack any substantial personality, although portrayed well enough, I don't feel they are memorable enough to have enough impact.
Now we come to the look and feel of the film, in total the looks pretty good, with some stand out moments and imagery, which is stylized enough to add to the character of the movie.
With burning firetrucks and one percenters who look like modern day photoshopped aristocrats. The style is just enough there to add to the films messages and atmosphere.
Unfortunately, it's the feel of the film that lets it down the most. The action sequences are done well, but a few of them have these strange inconsistencies that robs them of all tension, such as a pursing vehicle that takes about five minutes to travel five meters.
There is also a lack of payoff in terms of the things it does well, enemies have disappointing reveals and the mystery reveal seems rushed. The film also fails to go higher than 3rd gear, with just a lack of that one big action moment.
Overall, This years Purge improves on the original, by having some ambition and some good ideas. But this B grade action movie is fun and interesting for the most part, but fails to fully unleash the beast.

Hercules - Movie Review
Once in a very short while does a great man come to surface, the stuff of legends, a man that forges great stories from his adventures and a name that whole generations adore, that man is...
The Rock.
Now the man with incredibly white teeth takes the title role at this years second attempt at a Hercules movie, is it better than that other one? Yes a million times yes.
Now I aint going to pretend this is a great movie, it just scrapes being good, but one, its a damn sight better than that other Hercules movies and two, I had some fun with it.
Deep in my cold heart there is a soft spot for action adventure movies, which there are not too many of theses days, so when a movie comes along with a likable bunch of rogues and some decent action, I look upon it favorably.
The story starts badly with numerous cliches and a by the numbers plot, and it carries on like this for a while, but unexpectedly a plot turn occurs that really improves the movie. Which is kind of a shame, because if the whole movie was up to that standard, it might have been a truly good film. But in the end it comes a little to late to save the movie, but it does elevate it somewhat.
The direction is serviceable, there are some nice moments and there are some bad moments, but overall.. Meh. As a whole the actors do save this movie from being far worse, The Rock and his merry band of Men (+1 women), come across as likable and diverse enough to not be instantly forgettable, but they don't really get an awful lot to do. With main stays such as John Hurt, proving a very valuable addition.
Overall, the man with the sandals finds a good outlet in the Rock and the rest of the cast, but inconsistent story telling and some missteps throughout the movie, means that you'll enjoy it, but you won't really know why.

Begin Again - Movie Review
Wearing it's heart on it's sleeve, Carney's Begin Again doesn't quite excell, but its sincerity and charm do become annoyingly infectious.
An early scene featuring the imagination and passion that surrounds music, is a wonderful sight to behold and there are moments like these scattered throughout the movies like pearls. These moments fill the film with its sincerity and charms, they come off as a love letter to music that many can relate to. It's a bit of a shame that not all the music performed has enough originality to make them distinct form each other, but there are some songs that stick out and fit the film well.
The story also fluctuates in terms of quality, at times there's an earnest story to be told, but for the majority the film just seems to plod along and becomes to wrapped up in its sappy story. Although never bad or boring, there are times when it seems like the story's on autopilot, but its still engaging and watchable.
The characters also seem to fluctuate in terms of quality with some beginning as a resemblance of cliches (Mark Ruffalo) and some are just not given enough screen time to emit enough personality (the very talented James Corden). But luckily for the film the actors do enough to imbue to characters with all charm and likability that they need. Despite the main relationship between Ruffalo and Knightly, the rest seem a bit flat and unrealistic and takes away from the emotional edge of the film.
Overall, Begin Again is a bit rough around the edges, but its heart is in the right place and that's what matters. At times the film just emits pure charm, but then also seems to then plod to the end and hits some flat notes on the way there.

Boyhood - Movie Review
Woah This is going to be a difficult movie to review.
Filmed over 12 years we watch as both the characters and actors grow up before our very eyes, in this authentic story that encapsulates childhood, parenting and overall just life in general. My initial reaction to this story behind this film and its 12 years filming time was suspicion. I assumed that the premise was going to be used as a gimmick, but after seeing the subtle and natural transitions between the years it does feel well done and authentically. Although at the same time I wouldn't say it was an absolute necessity to the story being told.
Anyway for the rest of this review I will try to review this film solely on the film and separate from the time lapse filming style. I believe that the film should be able to stand on its own.
So, lets start the good bits. The film is acted and written brilliantly for the majority, with each of the actors just giving a realistic but also nuanced performance as the film progresses. With Ellar Coltrane giving an accurate performance that ties certain characteristic to certain stages of growing up. Each of the parents also give fantastic natural performances. Even though there are some missteps here and there but they can easily be overlooked in the grand scheme of things.
Then we come to the story, this both makes and somewhat breaks the story. Without going into too much detail the film follows these characters growing up and gives us a glimpse into their lives at roughly yearly intervals. This provides us with a chance to get to know these characters and to see the events that shaped their lives.
The problem is that the film often feels like a small collection of short stories, which are all fantastically well done, but also fail to hang together perfectly as a whole. This is due to the fact that some of the character transitions seem to be done so rapidly, and we always seem to miss them changing. We also don't really see the effect and the impact that these events have on the characters, due to the fact that the story just continues on. This also means that many of the story threads are just dropped completely and the characters just seem to move on.
There also seems to be a lot of filler especially through the later stages of the movie. This in addition to the film seeming to becoming more pretentious towards the end, much like the main character. But nearing the end, the film seems to be searching for a grand meaning and message that it want to shove in your face, rather than have the films story and characters teach you the lesson. The film also went on for 5-10mins more that it should have, it seemed to have missed the opportune time to end and just decided to keep going.
Next we come to the overall design, which included a fantastic and fitting soundtrack, but also included fairly boring a bland cinematography. Not to say it was bad, but there wasn't anything that stood out as being particularly good. One positive point was the inclusion of nostalgic items and events, that did seem to draw me back into a nostalgic frame of mind.
Overall what we have here is a film that feels like an authentic story of growing up and all the trials and tribulations that surround it. It's unfortunate then that the film takes a few to many missteps and fails to create a story that somewhat works together as whole. There are also a few to many dropped story lines and a bit to many scenes that seem to be filler. Although for the most part the film consists of mesmerizing moments, that can bring you to tears one moment and grinning ear to ear the next.
Its difficult for me to rate the film, as a technical achievement I would give it an 8, but take that away the films flaws mean that I feel it deserves a 7, so i'm going to rate it
