I have been a big Woody Allen fan and have watched most of his movies at least once, and a few of the multiple times. I have been re-reading the collection of interviews Woody Allen on Woody Allen, which of course really makes me pine to watch the films again, so I have been going [...]
I am continuing to go back and watch the Woody Allen films I have only seen once or twice, as opposed to the others that I have seen over and over. I sort of remembered Deconstructing Harry as an ambitious film that didn’t work all that well, but watching it again, I appreciated that it [...]

Woody Allen experimented with transplanting a Greek chorus into a modern setting in his play from the ’70s, God, [...]
Scenes From a Mall was somewhat of a critical flop when it was released in 1991, with Siskel and Ebert calling it the biggest disappointment of the year.

Today is Woody Allen’s 75th birthday. I wrote a long guide to his movies to mark the occasion, but I did not have time to make it as comprehensive as I was hoping to make it. Maybe I can expand it before his 80th birthday. I also wanted to celebrate the day by watching one [...]
Woody Allen’s first true directorial credit is a fun and silly film which I have seen countless times, usually laughing at the same spots every time I see it. But Take the Money and Run is the kind of film that is always all the more fun to watch with others. I remember the first [...]
