A Day in the Life of a Wannabe Critic

Most of my day today was spent at the Buena Vista screening room for not one, but _two_ media previews, courtesy of Touchstone Pictures. More review fodder for me. Could only be a good thing, I expected. After lunch, we had Spike Lee’s new joint, 25th Hour. It was okay, but nothing to write home about unfortunately. In the morning, however, we were subjected to — and I feel so, so dirty admitting this — Rob Schneider’s latest ‘star’ vehicle, The Hot Chick. Awful, _awful_ garbage. Just wrong on every conceivable level. When it was over I wanted to get drunk enough to kill the brain cells responsible for my memory of this hateful atrocity.
