I just wrapped my review for “Top Five,” Chris Rock’s latest directorial/screenwriting effort. While I can’t tell you my thoughts on the film until Friday, I can confirm that it did make my Top 10 Best/Worst list for the year. Which side does it end up on? Stay tuned.

For now, here’s some pics from the film’s New York premiere on Dec. 5, which was attended by stars Rock, Rosario Dawson, Cedric the Entertainer, Gabrielle Union, JB Smoove, Hayley Marie Norman and Karlie Redd.

I fully expect “Big Hero 6” to challenge “The LEGO Movie” and “How to Train Your Dragon 2” as the best animated movie of the year. It looks like a ton of fun. The cast spent Election Day at El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles for the L.A. premiere and they looked to have had a great time taking pics, rocking Mickey Mouse gloves and hanging with Baymax. Enjoy!
