– Comedy THE BUZZ: Two years after Whiplash Damien Chazelle returns with another Oscar candidate that has transfixed nearly every audience it has performed for, and we admit it’s sweet to see people so charmed by a modern-day Los Angeles romance. Since you really can’t say “Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling have never been better,” it might be more grounded to say that their work here will go down as some of the finest work of their respective careers. Since Hollywood tends to love to celebrate itself, it might be tough to top this in the Best Picture race, but more than anything we’re looking forward to watching more and more audiences fall in love with a mix of classic and contemporary filmmaking.

– ComedyTHE BUZZ: A welcome theme of putting people over profits and the dynamic between this stacked cast help make Office Christmas Party a well-timed holiday comedy that serves as a perfect 90-minute distraction from anything that might be ailing you. The couple gross-out gags are rather memorable, but we’d love to see a movie that allows people like T.J. Miller and Kate McKinnon to fully let loose and get as weird as possible.
