Eoin Rogers Jul 1, 2017 3

Here they come, the critics and the critical, the seriously and searingly opinionated, the boys that know better. They’ll try and tell you that you’re wrong, that your childhood memories of George Clooney as a viable protagonist are…

Film Review | Is La La Land The Self-Aware Send-Up To Classical Hollywood That We Need?

Eoin Rogers Jan 26, 2017 0

A love letter to Los Angeles, the musicals of the 1940s, and jazz, La La Land follows Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress, and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a tight-lipped jazz traditionalist. Director Damien Chazelle hasn’t pushed the boat…
