Caught up with Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie Inherent Vice, based on a book (that I have not read) by Thomas Pynchon. It’s a long – very long – rambling incoherent movie that I’d call a complete mess if that … Continue reading
So impatiently and uncomfortably sat through Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb and did not actually fall asleep. So credit where it’s due: that’s fortitude! Yes, this is part 3 of a series of movies I’ve barely tolerated … Continue reading
