James Franco's Best Performances! What A Character!


This guy is judged very harshly by critics, mainly due to the fact that he does waste copious amounts of his talent on indie flicks no-one will watch (practice makes perfect). James Franco is one of the hardest working people in the business, he's an actor, director, screenwriter, poet, painter and also teaches at the likes of USC, UCLA, CalArts and NYU, in film and English department's. His work ethic is inspirational, he is always doing something to strengthen his knowledge and broaden his horizons.

Franco never really received the credit he deserved until the recent release of his wonder project, 'The Disaster Artist' where he starred and directed as the legendary Tommy Wiseau. This movie is making waves all-round the globe as the world finally see, this man is Oscar worthy!

I love everything about him, his strange persona, weird life choices, wacky paintings, humour, just everything really, the hole, this is me, if you don't like, fuck off!

In no particular order, here are all of my favourite performances (ones with star's are my favourite film's and ratings are for the film's themselves):

* The Disaster Artist - Tommy Wiseau (2017) - 10/10
• The Interview - Dave Skylark (2014) - 8/10
• Why him? - Laird (2016) - 7.8/10
* 127 Hours - Aron Ralston (2010) - 8.5/10
* Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes - (2011) - 8.1/10
• This Is The End - Franco (2013) - 8/10
• Flyboys - Blaine Rawlings (2006) - 7.5/10
* Pineapple Express - Saul Silver (2008) - 8/10
• Spring Breakers - Alien (2012) - 6/10
* Milk - Scott Smith (2008) - 8.8/10
• True Story - Christian Longo (2015) - 8/10
* Homefront - Gator Bodine (2013) - 8.3/10
* James Dean (2001) - 10/10
* Spider-Man - Harry Osborne (2002) - 9/10

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!

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre
