Rated R

Written and Directed by Terence Malick
The Story:
A writer (Bale) goes on a journey of discovery in Los Angeles through Las Vegas. These are his tales.
The movie opens with narration by Bale as the camera pans around and around to various scenery and other scenes that may or may not have anything to do with what is happening on screen.
I know I normally give movies 20 minutes, but I was ready to bail by the 10th minute, and I think I let if play into the first full chapter break at around the 13 minute mark.
I had no interest in the character, or whatever story was going to take place at this point.
If that means I have no appreciation for art-house films, so be it.
I come to see a movie to be entertained.
I don't mind thinking when I watch a film.
What I don't want to be thinking, is, "why am I wasting my time watching this?"
There's a difference.
Final Grade: F
