'The Disaster Artist' Review: This Is James Franco's Masterpiece! "Hi Mark"s All-Round!


🎬 The Disaster Artist 🎬 Review 🎬 10/10 🎬

WOW! Just came out of the cinema and what started off as a rather traumatic night, ended in style and turned out to be a majestic one that I will never forget, that is all down to the brilliance of James Franco and the accidental, illusive genius that is Tommy Wiseau.

James Franco gives an awe-inspiring performance as both director and star in this masterpiece about the making of the best-worst movie 'The Room'. This is definetly an Oscar worthy performance from James Franco, who captures every essence of Tommy perfectly, it was so refreshing to see one of my favourite comedic actors back at his best, showing the world once again what he is truly capable of after a run of mediocre indie flicks. This isn't his first time in the directors chair but it is his first in-front of a worldwide audience and I have to say the likes of Scorsese couldn't of done any better.

He really was a perfect Tommy, there persona's, there dubious ways, everything just matched. What made it even better for me, is how much Franco cares about this movie, and that was perfect, Franco making his passion project about Tommy’s passion project.

The scenes that were remade from 'The Room' were so authentic and pretty much identical, it even shows how identical at the end of the flick with side by side shots of each other's takes. The acting from everyone, especially the Franco's, the direction, the score and the behind the scenes story that let's you into Tommy's weird mind, but somehow leaves him even more mysterious than he already was, is all brilliant, scrap that, SENSATIONAL!

The best feel-good comedy of 2017 with a brilliant lesson in life; don't be scared to dream and dream big, whatever the cost!

Cool facts: The production designer used the original blueprints to rebuild the sets. The DP matched the terrible lighting exactly. And the cast worked painstakingly to re-create the performances’ offbeat rhythms.

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??
