No commentsLARRY DAVID+WOODY ALLEN? YES PLEASE
Woody Allen doesn’t like to waste any time, 9 months after the release of the critically acclaimed Vicki, Cristina, Barcelona, he’s teamed up with comedian Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld) for his latest movie, Whatever Works, which will open the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival April 22-May 3 in New York City.
Woody Allen and Larry David should be an amazing combination and fortunately for this film, the two don’t appear together on camera. Having them on screen together would define neurosis. It’s hard to imagine these two dudes even having a conversation with each other.
Larry is responsible for the best TV show of all time, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Woody wrote, directed, and starred in arguably the best comedy ever, Annie Hall. I have insanely high expectations … to say the least.
Whatever Works opens in theaters in June.
No commentsMove Over Dark Knight, Vicky Cristina Barcelona Is The Best Movie of The Summer
I haven’t been a fan of Woody Allen’s latest work, Matchpoint especially, so skepticism filled the air as I entered the theater this weekend to see his latest effort, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Allen’s dialogue with a star-studded cast and a Scarlett Johansson/Penelope Cruz make out scene would at least make it worth my while. This summer has had great action flicks – Ironman – The Dark Knight – Tropic Thunder – but no great dramadies – no films driven by dialogue. In late August at the end of summer movie season, Woody Allen has changed everything. He creates a movie with 
impeccable acting and an outstanding script.
There are a few scenes in this movie with dialogue that would fit perfectly in [Best Picture winner] Annie Hall or Manhattan (his two best movies). Although he doesn’t make an appearance in the movie, you can almost feel Woody Allen in the room with the characters. He speaks through them with his large vocabulary and romantic commentary perfection. It’s as if he can take a relationship and put every little detail, thought, action, and feeling into words – something that is unparalleled by few. As the movie ends, you will find yourself wanting more – wishing it was a TV show and that was merely the pilot episode. If I was of any importance and actually had Oscar voting ability, this would receive an Oscar nom for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Penelope Cruz), and best Director. It’s that good. Brilliance.
