What’s Next After Booksmart?

I went to Western University (the one recognized by Playboy) and I didn’t party much. I think about this all the time and even more so now that Olivia Wilde released her directorial debut, Booksmart. Now I regret it!

Some of my favourite female celebrities like Busy Phillips and Lena Dunham endorsed Booksmart and now I understand why. It’s a great movie about female friendship and coming of age after high school. It’s filled with good music, good laughs and good lines.

These papers were key because as one character points out, the U.S. government “knew we couldn’t win and still sent boys to die.” The movie explains how the classified documents went public while presenting the workplace drama that transpired at The Washington Post, as well as The New York Times and The White House.

If you’re passionate about politics and journalism, then this is a movie to strongly consider seeing.
