So my wife turned on the latest Woody Allen movie "Anything Else" [View All]

[Pale Blue Dot]

I used to be a huge Woody Allen fan. My favorite film of his remains "Husbands and Wives". Unfortunatly, its all downhill from there.

So far, this one is absolutely terrible. Allen is writing the same type of dialogue for Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci in the present day that he wrote 30 years ago. Only the jokes aren't as funny, and it all sounds terribly phoney. Worse yet, Ricci's character is completely unlikable. It's not Ricci's fault - the part was written that way.

The whole thing seems to be an excuse to show Ricci in her underwear. Not that I'm complaining.

Allen needs to take some time off and recharge his batteries.
