Film Review: “Inherent Vice” — Like an Acid Trip, Secondhand

Inherent Vice is a giddy, trippy potpourri that tries to make a virtue of never quite settling on what kind of story it wants to tell.

Short Fuse Commentary: Contra “The Master”

The director of THE MASTER, Paul Thomas Anderson, runs toward Scientology as fast as he runs away from it and its top guns (Tom Cruise did visit the set to lodge a few complaints).

By: Harvey Blume Filed Under: Featured, Film Tagged: Paul Thomas Anderson, Scientology, Short Fuse, The Master

Film Commentary: Submitting to “The Master”

Director Paul Thomas Anderson doesn’t provide answers nor does he pose questions: the ambiguity of his characters and his confounding storytelling style are what drive “The Master.”

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film Tagged: Amy Adams, Joachim Phoenix, Paul Thomas Anderson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Master

Fuse Movie Review: “The Master” – There Will Be Oscars

“The Master” is not easily pigeon-holed as a film but one can argue that it is, at its core, a brilliant anti-war movie.

By: Glenn Rifkin Filed Under: Featured, Film Tagged: Joaquin Phoenix, Paul Thomas Anderson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Master
