My Best Picture of 2017

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2017)

I saw this film a few weeks ago and I'm catching up on my reviews. THIS IS Best Picture NOT Moonlight, there I said it. Sue me! Okay the film is basically about an failed actress named Mia played by Oscar winner Emma Stone :) -Oh yeah she earned that award- Anyway she goes to all these auditions in Holllywood and she gets a whole world of no until one day she meets Sebastian played by Ryan Gosling who is a jazz musician and wants to own his own jazz club but Hollywood is full of what's in now and doesn't care about what's real. So Mia and Sebastian keep missing each other until one day she hears him playing at a party and they start to date. All this stuff happens in between which I can't say because you need to see it. It's really good. I loved it. Basically the film is don't give up on your dreams.
Oh yeah the film is a musical. Please don't dismiss this film because it's a musical it's really good. The songs are catchy and you'll be singing those tunes the moment you leave the theater or watch it on blu-ray. Some of the songs you'll have in your head I'm sure will be Someone in the Crowd, City of Stars, Star A Fire and Another Day of Sun.
Okay let's get this out of the open right now. I love La La Land and I thought Moonlight was crap. I wrote a review for that film as well. It's on my page you can read it if you wish. The Oscars flub that was heard around the world had it wrong. Moonlight is NOT the Best Picture La La Land was and is, in my book at least and I'm sure in many others.
Should you watch this film? That's up to you. You watch it because you want to watch it. Don't let some critic tell you what to watch. I'm no critic, I'm just saying what I like. You might not like it but that's life isn't it? If you are having doubts about a movie rent it from Redbox and view it first and make your choice. It's only a few bucks and if you don't like it, you're not out of a lot of money. Or wait for it to be on TV which is silly if you ask me. I mean why would you wait 2 or 3 years for cable to play a movie when you can rent it for 2 bucks?
