My Own Worst Critic is leaving on vacation Saturday and will have little time to post between now and Oct. 2. So I’m sharing some reviews I wrote in college for The Hoya, Georgetown University’s newspaper. Rereading these old reviews, I noticed several things:
- I wasn’t as bad a writer as I remembered. A little caustic perhaps, but respectable.
- I seemed to remember that I was the lead movie critic at my college paper, but judging by the movies I was given to review–Hackers, High School High, That Thing You Do!–I may have been overestimating my position.
- I really liked using fart and vomit imagery back then. This is something I should re-explore.
He’s back. Just when the world thought we could escape his ubiquitous dopey smile and his late 50s paper boy hair cut, Tom Hanks returns to the big screen. He very well may be taking over the world. As proof, he is not only starring in big budget, quality family films, but he’s also directing. His first stab at conquering humanity is a new movie about a fictional 60s rock n’ roll band and their hit song, called That Thing You Do!
