La La Land

A jazz pianist falls for an aspiring actress in Los Angeles.

La La Land was a brilliant musical with much sparkle that hollywood is known for. It really impressed me with it's great music,beautiful cinematography and  outstanding choreography.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone really made great work of this one and added to the experience, overall this was fantastic watching.

  

Your Name

Two high school kids who've never met - city boy Taki and country girl Mitsuha - are united through their dreams.

I don't really watch many Japanese films but I always love them. This was no different, the story and art were both beautiful and moving. The contrast of country and city life was really close to home for me. The love shared between the main characters felt so real.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue one was a very standout Star Wars film, a brilliant take on the Franchise's reputation for stellar movies.

Sing

A koala named Buster Moon has one final chance to restore his theater to its former glory by producing the world's greatest singing competition.

Sing was a brilliant story of aspiring talent shining through with many different personalities.An absolutely brilliant musically and vocally driven film which really highlights the lengths people are willing to go to to reach their dreams. Illumination's Sing really is a masterfully told story of singers everywhere both the beautiful, the bold and the brilliant.

Office Christmas Party

When his uptight CEO sister threatens to shut down his branch, the branch manager throws an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client and save the day, but the party gets way out of hand...

I have always been a fan of Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston so this movie was a must watch for me and I was pleasantly surprised. It has great moments of humor touching very well on the modern christmas spirit. It also tells some slightly more touching moments of love and reminds everyone that Christmas is all about kindness, giving and having fun.

Arrival

An interesting take on an alien invasion with a rather peaceful and mysterious feel to it. Some tense moments and a very interesting exploration of language and communication between both people on earth and people and aliens. Arrival really was a different kind of alien invasion story but very intriguing to witness.
