KFOG REVIEW: “THE DISASTER ARTIST” & “THE SHAPE OF WATER”

It’s rare that I get to say it’s an excellent week at the movies! This week brings “The Disaster Artist” from James Franco, and “The Shape of Water” from Guillermo Del Toro.

“The Disaster Artist” is based on the book of the same name, which chronicles the making of “The Room” (which has been dubbed the “Citizen Kane” of bad movies). I happened to be obsessed with “The Room” so I had extremely high expectations going into this. “The Disaster Artist” also stars Dave Franco, Alison Brie, Paul Scheer, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson and more!

Another film I had incredibly high expectations for was Guillermo Del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” which was an unexpected romance from the director. Fear not though, it’s got plenty of classic GDT. It stars Doug Jones, Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Jenkins, and Octavia Spencer.
