http://patriciamarkert.blogspot.com/2012/09/sleepwalk-with-me.html
Saturday, September 1, 2012. The stand up comedian has a pretty bad act. He tends bar, and fills in when he’s needed, but he gets bad feedback. People don’t like his act. What the stand up comedian has is a pretty great girlfriend. She is helpful, cheerful, undemanding, understanding, all the things we want in a really great friend, let alone lover and longstanding live in girlfriend. Lauren Ambrose, who plays Abby, the comedian's girlfriend. What’s the plan? I have never seen a movie like this, but then...

Patricia Markert: The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson, director)
http://patriciamarkert.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-master-paul-thomas-anderson-director.html
Wednesday, January 2, 2013. The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson, director). Paul Thomas Anderson is an artist with a dark palette. There Will Be Blood the movie with Daniel Day Lewis portraying an oil baron was about not just one sinister businessman who manipulates unknowing people into selling their land cheap. It was about the menace of unbridled capitalism. Lewis embodied the rapacious nature of business without limits. Paul Dano played two men, complexly. There has to be a megalomaniac in his films.
