A Little Bit of Heaven (2011)
Give me some old time religion
The ending and the last few scenes were the best part. The death bed scenes were effective. That said it never drew me in and made me cry, laugh or care about the characters. The lead actors didn't have any chemistry, and it was uneven and that's a shame. Kate Hudson was too trash mouth which distracted me from the plot. Seems like a movie going directly to TV, because it never got sensual just vulgar in places. I'd love to see her wait for a better script and direction with nuances like CZJ. Too bad I keep hoping for better. For the souffle that it is we all could do worse than this.
La La Land (2016)
Good but...
Somehow I thought Ryan Gosling wasn't the right guy for the part. I liked the music and the staging but the characters and script were not complicated enough and needed another couple or something to play off of. The story didn't draw me in as much as I wanted it to, not really the actors fault. And the movie didn't quite come together enough for me to give it more then a 7. The movie looked difficult to make and that made me love it a lot less. However still worth seeing again.
