       Critic Consensus:

Oh, hai Mark. The Disaster Artist is a surprisingly poignant and charming movie-about-a-movie that explores the creative process with unexpected delicacy.

    I simply cannot agree more, Rotten Tomatoes aren't always fair but they are known to be right on occasion.
The Disaster Artist is a one chance look at a very private Tommy Wisesau at a time where his dreams were both shattered and made real. It goes without saying, though some may beg to differ, you really should watch The Room to understand where The Disaster Artist is coming from. Sure, you can watch it alone without viewing The Room but I think you can't understand and get the full gravity of what Tommy was trying to do unless you see the actual film.

    I'm not going to sugar coat it or put a pretty ribbon on it, The Room was horrendous, it was bad. Like, nails on a chalkboard bad, I'd rather watch paint dry bad, though there was a silver lining....it was hilarious. Which is something you could tell just by watching it, it's definitely not what Tommy was trying to do.  I love The Disaster Artist for giving us an inside look, so to speak into  the mind behind the madness.  Wiseau is such a passionate soul,  the movie more times then not had me thinking of myself and my own dead and buried dreams. You can respect Tommy for his effort and the amount of heart he tried to put into his movie.

     Oh before I go, let me just say that ONLY James Franco can deliver in a film like this. Before even watching it I often said he was meant to play Tommy. That fact was solidified by his brilliant exectution both in front and behind the camera. The chemistry that he and his brother Dave have is the sweetest thing to watch. It was like he was speaking through Tommy with the endering things he was saying. I just admire them both a great deal and I'm so happy I'm living in a time such as this, when James Franco is at his best.

Golden Globe Nominees

⭐The 75th Annual Golden Globe Nominees⭐

  

  

       Before I start let me get this out of the way the GG's kind of sets the "Tone" for the Oscars and well, is it horrible of me to say I'm not all that excited about some of these noms?? Bare in mind I haven't seen any of the best picture nominees, which I will by the time the Oscars roll around. I make it my duty every year to see the movies nominated for best picture. So I cant say whether or not these films deserve it but, I was never all that hyped to see any of them in the first place except for 3, "The Disaster Artist, Get Out, and The Shape of Water" which isn't even available yet in my state yet. I guess time will tel for me if I like any of them. Here ate the lucky nominees in film. The Golden Globes Premiers On Jan 7, 2018, on NBC at 5pm Pacific and 8pm Eastern.
