Woody Allen is back, sight unseen

SEP

2008

I grew up during Woody Allen's most prolific and golden period: the days of Sleeper, Play It Again, Sam, Annie Hall, and Manhattan. And I've loved Woody. He's a New Yorker, as I am. He speaks a language I understand. Over the last 20 years, though, his work has been spotty. There have been long periods...

Scarlet Johansson is a Bore in Barcelona

Just trying too hard

into Independent Films, an infrequent movie goer

NOV

2008

As for Vicky Christina Barcelona, the cheese stood alone on this one. While the rest of my friends loved the film, I found this Woody Allen satire to be entirely too far reaching. While trying to make a sarcastic snapshot of two best friends spending a summer in Barcelona, the witty point of view fell flat on its face. I don't want to spoil the ending, but with such an amazing cast I thought it was a total waste. With an opportunity to really develop these characters after taking the audience on a wild sexcapade, Allen seems to have drop kicked the thematic paradigm off the deep end of irony. Sorry... review »
