I'd definitely recommend seeing it. I didn't find it scary at all which was a disappointment and its nowhere near as good as the original. Still go see it though and let me know what you think.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976)
Some movies from director John Cassavetes can be a chore to sit through, but there's always something I like about them. This one had more of a plot than I expected, and it was a plot that suited my taste. Ben Gazzara is so brilliant in this, and the supporting cast is right up there. The 70's mood and atmosphere is on full display, and the little details are all just right. It feels a little disjointed in some ways, but in other ways it feels perfect. I watched the director's cut, which is shorter. I'd like to see the theatrical cut as well.

The Trial (1962, Orson Welles)
Technically, this is a magnificent film. The cinematography/shot composition, mise-en-scène, lighting, editing, acting, and of course Orson Welles' direction are all top notch. So many extraordinary shots worthy of being framed and hung in an art gallery - but still, I did not enjoy it nearly as much as I had hoped to. I felt it was too long, too cold, too claustrophobic, too relentless in its assault on the senses. It felt more like an exercise in form than anything else, while I was expecting a somewhat different approach. Sure, it's Kafka, and it's supposed to be all those things - well, I guess it's just not my cup of tea, then. Welles' style is impressive, no doubt, but time and time again I feel that it oppresses and overwhelms me more than it enlightens me.

The disaster artist
James Franco is unrecognisable. He becomes Tommy. Not sure if it was intended but it’s not a straight comedy. It’s more a casual glimpse at something that happened that is very bizarre. That is - The life of Tommy and his friend when they decided to become actors and later make The Room.
Some very funny moments sprinkled throughout. Not sure if anyone else noticed but Tommy explained that he was in a car crash early on in the film. For a good portion of the film I thought maybe he had an acquired brain injury. That sort of dulled the comedy and I stopped laughing at Tommy. Plus Franco plays it so well it’s hard to keep laughing at the guy, he’s no doubt a massive weirdo but a sympathetic one.
Worth watching for a bit of a laugh, for some good acting by Franco and a bit of Hollywood history.
3.5/5

1st re-watch...quirky, imaginative, disturbing, brilliantly directed and acted and I still challenge Will Ferrell haters to watch this movie and tell me he can't act.
