Is it any Wonder? Wheel

Here’s what I know; my feelings on Woody Allen are that he belongs in that genius trilogy camp few have achieved: brilliant writer, tremendous comedian and excellent musician. I don’t want to believe he molested his children and stand by my stance that Mia Farrow is a manipulative woman scorned. Was it ‘right’ that Woody… Continue reading Is it any Wonder? Wheel

Now I Get the Hyperbole: L’Iceberg

Ok, last week I saw Lost in Paris and was unimpressed. Yet I now see this as a Woody Allen analogy after seeing Abel’s earlier film L’Iceberg which was a knockout. So, it’s like seeing Woody Allen’s Match Point and going, ‘what’s the big deal about this guy?” and then seeing “Anne Hall”. L’Iceberg was… Continue reading Now I Get the Hyperbole: L’Iceberg

Woody Allen’s Cafe Society, a place I’d commit to: one day at a time

As I navigate new opportunities and major choices of where to live and work in South Florida, I realize more and more how difficult it is… Continue reading Woody Allen’s Cafe Society, a place I’d commit to: one day at a time

Mistress America: Am I Rushing or Am I Dragging?

Savvy readers will know that my title is a quote from “Whiplash”, my favorite movie of last year. I use it because Greta Gerwig (and I consider myself a fan) seemed to be rushing or lines in the opening scenes, like watching out of sync audio, but with her lips moving in time. I think… Continue reading Mistress America: Am I Rushing or Am I Dragging?

Woody Allen’s The Irrational Man, surprisingly not ‘The Donald’s Story’

Parker I went confidently to Woody Allen’s ‘Irrational Man’, thinking, Joaquin and Parker Posey could save any movie. Ugh, except this one. Woody, you need a retirement intervention, focus on your clarinet. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but when a brand new recliner seat can’t save me from fidgety ennui, I’ve got to speak… Continue reading Woody Allen’s The Irrational Man, surprisingly not ‘The Donald’s Story’

Turturro: Woody Allen, a welcome salve. Yes, you read that correctly.

Woody Allen Listen, I lost two of my favorite funny people this year; Robin Williams and Joan Rivers. And I hadn’t seen Woody Allen do the film persona Woody Allen since the ’80’s. So thank you John Turturro for writing a directing “Fading Gigilo” which I finally had a chance to get on-demand this weekend.… Continue reading Turturro: Woody Allen, a welcome salve. Yes, you read that correctly.
