Here's a math problem for you. I was asked to review King Kong for the San Francisco Examiner. The film screened Monday night, starting at 7:30, and it opened Wednesday morning, less than 36 hours later. For a film review to appear in Wednesday morning's paper, when does it need to be finished and filed? That's right! First thing Tuesday morning. Which meant that I had to get home sometime after 11 and write and re-write until the wee hours of the morning. So if my review sounds like a breathless, incoherent glob of gibberish, there you have it. Nonetheless, I had a great time, and despite the film's oppressive running time -- which really plays havoc with the pace and characterizations -- it's a blast.And here's the review.
