Hours of Movies

Hey everyone today Laurie and I are going to talk about the musical Hamilton! This was movie 179 on my quest to watch 366 movies in 366 days. It's a fantastic musical with an amazing cast. Enjoy.
Synopsis: Divided in two acts, the musical depicts the life and career of Alexander Hamilton, an orphaned immigrant from the Caribbean island of Nevis. The first act covers Hamilton's arrival in New York City in 1776, his work in the Continental Army as an aide-de-camp to General George Washington during the American Revolution, and how he met and married Eliza Schuyler. The second act covers Hamilton's postwar work as the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, his affair with Maria Reynolds, the death of his son Philip and finally his own death in a duel with Aaron Burr
Directed by Thomas Kail (Into the Heights & Grease Live) Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Into the Heights & Moana) Cast: Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. (Red Tails, Murder on the Orient Express and Harriot) as Aaron Burr, Daveed Diggs (Blindspotting, The Little Mermaid and Snowpiercer) as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson, Phillipa Soo (Amelie and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 on Broadway) as Eliza Hamilton, Renée Elise Goldsberry (Waves. The Lion King, Dreamgirls, Rent, and The Color Purple on Broadway.) as Angelica Schuyler, Christopher Jackson (in the original broadway cast of Lion King and Into the Heights) as George Washington, Okieriete Onaodowan (Station 19) as Hercules Mulligan and James Madison, Anthony Ramos (Into the Heights, Monsters and Men and Trolls World Tour) as John Laurens and Philip Hamilton and Jonathan Groff (Frozen, Mindhunters, and Glee) as King George III.

Chungking Express (1994) - A new favorite!

What's good everyone!? Today I'll be talking about movie 143 of 366 Chungking Express! A wonderful film that I am glad I discovered and has become a new personal favorite of mine. It's a wonderful introduction to Wong-Kar-wai and I hope you enjoy hearing me fangirl over this film. Summary: The movie comprises two different stories, told one after the other, each about a romance involving a policeman. Aside for a brief moment when the first story ends and the second begins, the two stories do not interconnect. However, the three main characters from the second story each momentarily appear during the first. Directed and written by Wong-Kar-wai (Happy Together, The Grandmaster) Starring Brigitte Lin (Eight Hundred Heroes, Police Story) as Woman in blonde wig, Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers, Fallen Angels) as cop 223, Tony Leung Chiu-wai (Infernal Affairs, Hero) as cop 663, Faye Wong (Chinese Odyssey 2002, 2046) as Faye
