COMMENTS

For the first time ever, I may have to make an addendum on my top of the year list. Some of us, are of course, not privileged to see some of these films in time. The Disaster Artist, was a tough one for me to find. It didn't go wide until late and for some reason, kept switching around theaters. I was finally able to pin it down and boy, am I glad I did. This film is pure delight. James Franco, gives the best performance of his career in this thing. The entire film as a whole, is so damn entertaining. It's ridiculously funny, and at its core, has a great heart to it. There's an underlying message here that is fantastic, and we can all relate to. You don't have to have seen The Room to get the film either. I literally saw five minutes of the film. Sure, some of the jokes may help if you've seen it. However, just google anything about the real movie, and you can watch the "important" scenes. Bottom line is, this film is fantastic. See it. If you can find it.
