all is forgiven woody. you have redeemed yourself with match point. i can now overlook most of the dreck you have put out in the past ten years (yes, even curse of the jade scorpion). although its dubbed a "woody allen movie for people who don't like woody allen" and a "thriller," this movie has his stamp all over it--extramarital affairs, an upper crusty setting, and his famous philosophical musings. definitely reminiscent of woody's 80s work, especially crimes and misdeamnors, but only darker. and scarlett johnasson is painfully gorgeous. if you like woody, you won't be disappointed.

    in all fairness, i did like celebrity and deconstructing harry. i was thinking more like sweet and low down, everybody says i love you, mighty aphrodite, small time crooks, etc.

    Damn, I NEED to see this. I really appreciate Woody Allen. Even his bombs I think they are still great ideas. I thought Melinda, Melinda was really good.

    Plus Crimes and Misdemeaners (sp?) is one of my favorites.

    co-sign!

    I loved this movie - suspensful and unpredictable. I guess the comedy-vs-drama arguement posed in Melinda and Melinda has been settled in Woody's mind.

    Just watched this and I've got to say it's one bad film and the acting was laughable from the two leads, not impressed... oh well

    yeah that movie was sleepy as hell. didn't get interesting until the last 15 minutes. should have been a half hour shorter and had more of spud from trainspotting.

    I really couldn't get into this. I saw it yesterday. I know Woody Allen flicks are given the hall pass- but man shit dragged on forever. He could have cut a good half hour of the movie out. I thought the ending plot line was corny and too contrived and done before. actually alot of it was contrived.

    I am a huge fan of



    She is unfuckwitable on looks.

    I could definitely tell it was written for her. And i saw that as a big flaw.

    The music was sort of odd. It worked in some places, but took away in others...
