Title: Pretentious? Vous?
Review: Listen, I basically like the plots of these stories and the action. But poor Alex himself is getting so pretentious, he's verging on the insufferable! He has a house in the "Hills" with a deck and a koi pond, he cooks like a Cordon Bleu grad, drives a classic (restored by himself) Porsche. He can tell you the designer of any woman's dress he spots on Rodeo Drive, he drops the name of every cool jazz icon known to man, he has a live-in (and perfect, of course)lover that makes custom guitars for rock stars (whose workshop is in Venice!)... I mean, C'mon! This poor ... goes through the gamut of cliched pretense like Sherman through a goose! Sam Spade would dump a beer on his head. Lucas Davenport would toss him in his koi pond. Yikes! What an unbelievable fop!
