Hot Take: Seeing It Isn’t Necessary But It’s Worth A Listen

I had no idea who David Foster Wallace was before seeing The End of the Tour. Maybe that’s what makes my take on the film different than any review I’ve read as it seems every film critic who reviewed the movie was intimately familiar with Wallace’s work.

Isn’t it odd when you read a movie review how hard the critic tries to keep it as impersonal as possible? It’s written from this inherently omniscient perspective as if the writer doesn’t dare personalize the review as to lose all credibility.

Hot Take: If you skip it, you won’t kick yourself when you accidentally find it on cable one night. If you see it, you won’t hate yourself, either.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is yet another TV show reboot. Any novelty to the concept has worn off at this point. Leave out the small screen to big screen conversion and the action spy comedy genre is also in the “been done” group.Read More →
