On New Year’s Eve 2018, I woke up at 5:30 a.m. In a way that kind of crystalizes this now ending year. Back in the day, I slept long after the sun had risen.

Happy holidays: My Big Break issue 5 to be released Nov. 26
I have to admit that when I first saw the teaser for James Franco’s Disaster Artist, I was captivated. The takes, the missed lines, the missed marks! Yes, it pretty much happened that way.

It’s a funny, and at times grotesque look at how the biggest film cult phenomenon of this century affected the actors who starred in it. This is Robyn Paris’ creation, who played Michelle in The Room. She wrote and directed it and now it is showing […]
