James Franco's masterpiece 'The Disaster Artist' gets it's first trailer!


I'm so pumped! After receiving a standing ovation as a work-in-progress screening at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, A24 and New Line Cinema have released the first trailer for James Franco’s The Disaster Artist, which tells the true story about the making of Tommy Wiseau’s beloved but terrible cult classic, The Room. 

This brilliant piece of promotional material offers up our first glimpse at Franco in the role of Wiseau as he struggles to remember his lines in the now-infamous “I did not hit her. It’s not true! It’s bullshit, I did not hit her. I did not! Oh, hi, Mark,” scene that took a grueling three hours and thirty-two takes to finally perfect, according to Greg Sestero’s best-selling tell-all “The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made,” which the film is based on.

The Disaster Artist received rave reviews out of SXSW and boasts a staggering 92% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, many of them praising Franco’s performance as Wiseau, and some even calling it “his best performance since his Oscar-nominated turn in 127 Hours.” Lets not forget that he is also directing this flick, showing the multiple talents we all knew he had but sometimes doubted throughout his career, now he is finally showing us what he is truly capable of. The film’s ensemble also includes Dave Franco, Seth Rogen, Josh Hutcherson, Zac Efron, Bryan Cranston, Alison Brie, Ari Graynor, and Jacki Weaver.

Here’s the official synopsis:

A delightful tribute to the joy and madness of making movies, The Disaster Artist follows the outrageous adventures of eccentric filmmaker Tommy Wiseau and his best friend, actor Greg Sestero. These two endearing misfits move to L.A. and try to live the Hollywood dream by making their very own feature film, but end up embarking on a wildly unpredictable and hilariously unforgettable production. Leading to one of the most infamous, bizarre, and beloved midnight movies of all time, The Room.

 The Disaster Artist will hit theaters on its Oscar-friendly release date of December 1, 2017. In the meantime, while you wait until then, please feel free to watch this teaser trailer twenty more times and bask in its gloriousness.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'OldBoy' Review: WOW!

Image
• Oldboy, 2003 • 9.6/10 • 'Oldboy' is one of the most intense movies you will ever see. Breathtaking, brutal and easily one of the best revenge movies ever made. Every shot is bursting with background detail and wonderful colour. The screenplay is probably one of the best I have ever seen. The acting is amazing, especially Choi as the main protagonist Dae-su Oh. All the actors did great but his performance was powerful, emotional and raw (all you need to do is see the infamous squid scene). I also highly commend Ji-tae Yu, he put in a spectacularly believable performance as the sadistic and very lonely Woo-jin Lee. Chan-wook Park gives this movie a very unique style with his subliminal direction and his extremely intelligent and edgy script. It will leave you guessing right up until the very end whilst simultaneously making you think and question your moral compass! Must see! Thoughts??
