Dallin: The Film Fanatic

With a staggering amount of Academy Award nominations, along with widespread critical acclaim, does La La Land live up to the hype? The film stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as an aspiring jazz musician and actress respectively, who fall in love in Los Angeles, otherwise known as La La Land.

With a little help from Netflix, I have re-watched the original four Superman films recently as well as Batman v Superman for the first time. Man of Steel and Superman Returns are still fresh in my mind such that I could rank the seven Superman films to date. Superman has had quite a run in his cinematic outings. Some say Henry Cavil is terrible, others say Christopher Reeve is the definitive Superman. His films have wavered to flat out unwatchable to some of the best comic book movies ever. This ranking will only include the theatrical, live-action Superman films, so the animated films don't count. But do you know what does? Batman v Superman does as it will be included on this list. It has Superman, it's live-action, and it was released in theaters so it fits the bill. This is gonna be an interesting ranking so get ready. I will not spoil anything from the seven films so you don't need to worry about any spoiler warnings in this ranking. So let's get to it.

Hidden Figures tells the story of three, african-american, mathematicians who had crucial parts in the Space Race of the late 50s, early 60s. It doesn't shy away from displaying the many difficulties of being an african-american in a time of being involved in one of Americas most underrated events, which I appreciated. The cast members include Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, and Jim Parsons.
