afaic Woody has been up and down since Crimes & Misdemeanors. His last few have been very good though esp. VCB which is old school Woody hood.

VCB looked a lot like a Hollywood version of a  Rohmer film to me...

hardly....  Rohmer is boring, Woody is not.

He managed to keep a speedier pace than Rohmer hence Hollywood version, but there was an awful lot of gallant banter which reminded me of his style (Triple Agent excepted good period film).

Quick poll:

Terry Gilliam vs Woody Allen - what movie should I watch tonight? It's between The Brothers Grimm and Cassandra's Dream.

Gilliam.  Duh.

Woody Allen's been making the same fucking movie since Zelig.  Each Gilliam film is an artistic delight.

while funny, the bit about Woody isn't really true.

I dunno, man...you've seen one nebbish Jew romantic comedy with a cast of thousands set in Manhattan, you've seen them all.  They all look the same to me.

Terminator 4? maybe 5? The one with Batman.

Surprisingly, it was good.

Then again, Woody hasn't done many of that kind of movies in a while.

Cassandra's dream is suspense, Match point is pure drama, Melinda & Melinda is part tragedy, The curse of the jade scorpion and Small time crooks are screwball comedy, Scoop is part murder mistery... Three of those are shot in Britain (Scoop, Match point and Cassandra's dream) and besides there's Vicky Cristina Barcelona which was done in Spain.

Are you stuck in the late 70s-early 80s, Seedy? Which was the last Woody Allen film you saw?

Watched mostly under the radar Canuck director Kari Skoglund's "Fifty Dead Men Walking" which is a very solid IRA themed film. Jim Sturgess is a young know it all who sells crap that falls off trucks, as it were, who ends up playing double agent with IRA/Brit intelligence back in the 80's/90's. Of course eventually everything goes horribly wrong. Very well shot, edited, good score, acting. Solid entry in the IRA genre.

Abbot and Costello meet the Mummy (1955)

This time Bud and Lou don't even pretend it's a real movie.  Their credits list their characters names as "Peter Patterson" and "Freddie Franklin," but they call themselves "Abbot" and "Costello" throughout the film.  The laughs are fewer and further between than in Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein, there are a couple dance numbers in the film that don't seem to be related to anything, and the mummy costume is really awful.  Avoid.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels


Just classic.

I'd love to snag TOS Blu-ray set.   Screw TNG movies.

Which is not even a Woody Allen film, as he only acts on it, but didn't write or direct it.

[Eddie Teach]

I think Woody Allen's acting sets a stamp on a movie more than his(or most others) directing.
