Of course I never did that (or did I), I chose to take the advice of <strong>Michelle Obama<\/strong> to go high when they went low. That is truly the key to success. But nevertheless, <strong>The Columnist<\/strong> is a lot of fun to indulge in.<\/p>\n<p role=\"presentation\" data-testid=\"plot-xl\"><strong>The Columnist<\/strong> gets a UK release date on <strong>March 12th<\/strong> and both Phil and Raj highly recommend you check out this wicked little foreign film.
