Ah no. I didn't know he'd done so many. I'll take a look then. I did enjoy Zelig - especially when he's tussling with the Pope.Quote:

Match Point is a very good recent one of his (and dirt cheap, under £2 on Amazon). Recently he actually said that Match Point was his best film. I like the neurotic New York ones myself but it is a good one. It might stilll be on the BBC i-player too.Quote:

Cheers mate. I signed up to this Lovefilm.com and so i can order any film they have on their lists - which is pretty extensive. I'll definately have a look.Quote:

Overall, a seven or eight out of 10.
"Hanna" 10/10
"The Way Back" 7/10
I'm just watching Casablanca again, it really is a good old thing. After a few drinks I'll probably going to stick another Woody Allen on. Not sure which one yet.
Watching Woody Allen after Casablanca is like drinking Coca cola after vintage Bordeaux.Quote:

Not like Blandford Fly at all...
Edit: actually, this is pretty damn poor. Avoid.
The Hour of the Wolf - somewhat disturbing and interesting, but very odd. Need to return to it again I think.
Well, I am watching Whatever Works which is Woody Allen's latest film, or the one just before it, I'm not sure. It is very good, especially at the beginning, i've not finished it yet, but I would say it is right up there in his top 5, of the one's I have seen anyway, which is most of them now. I doubt that he can get ever passed Annie Hall or Manhattan though; essential viewing.
Jane Eyre 10/10 This latest version of Jane Eyre is sublime. The actors playing the leads are marvelous, and the director did a superb job of leaving in the most important elements of the book. the longest scenes are those of between Jane and Rochester and they are thrilling. I fell in love with him along with Jane, and felt for her as she asserted her values, then decided that love was paramount.
What is it about the moors that breeds such passion? Anyway, I thought it was fantastic.
