BY MICHAEL GOODPASTER
This movie just seems like it’s being made for me to enjoy. It’s from the cool era of literature and youthful exploration where Ginberg, Burroughs, and Kerouac were running amuck. This movie tells the “untold story” of these three meeting at Columbia in 1944 and getting involved with a murder. It sounds like a lot of fun. It’s about time the beat era gets a real focus instead of an outsider’s look of “awe”. Basically, instead of giving us peaks of it in Mad Men, we’re right there in the middle of the revolution. The cast is what really sold me on this movie. Off the bat I see that Michael C. Hall and Ben Foster are in this movie. It’s a “Six Feet Under” reunion… sorta. On top of that, Kyra Sedgwick, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Elizabeth Olsen. The lead roles go Daniel Radcliffe as Ginberg, Jack Huston as Kerouac, and Ben Foster as Burroughs. That’s got to be bad ass. Ben Foster doesn’t do anything that’s not. The casting, the support, and the subject is really interesting. If the movie lives up to the potential it has then I’m sure this will be a great film. A much needed one.
