Al P. is a very one-dimensional actor. Lost my interest in him. The tango scene on the other hand was riveting.

Match Point - Woody Allen. Pros:Woody wasn't in it. Cons: Scarlett's immovable facial expression. Thriller, some minor flaws, interesting project but not quite there. He's trying to come back but I don't see it happening.

It was far better received than Hollywood Ending and Anything Else.

"Hollywood Ending" was awesome.

Better doesn't mean good. I mean don't get me wrong, I am not dismissing the movie as a failure, but I feel like he was trying a little too hard, it seems as if he is going through a "film director's block." The attempt to make the film so authentically British resulted in exaggerated stereotypes and very cardboard characters. As I've stated before, I found it rather interesting, but I feel like he couldn't decided if he wanted the film to be a thriller or a psychoanalytical journey.

If it's the former, the focus on the pretentious elite was rather short sighted, it reflected a view of an average person who has no access to the upper class resulting in a limited perception of people who belong to the class. It demonstrated nothing new, posh apartments, galleries, operas, tennis, it just didn't seem real, as if there is nothing more to it. If it was a thriller, than it didn't give me a solid insight into the struggles of a man who was desperate to do anything to keep what he has acquired. I couldn't feel the struggle or understand his fears. He was very flat, like the rest of the characters. I just feel like it could've been so much better, it's a shame, the theme is so multidimensional.

Hmm, he seems to do that pretentious European shyt a lot. He also likes copying Fellini, Bergman, and other Euro directors.

I usually like his character analysis, but this was not the usual style. You're right he does add that "ignorant" European element to his other films. He can't capture European culture no matter how he tries, it's as if he goes there as a tourist spends two weeks and thinks that he understands everything. I was just happy he wasn't in it, I can't tolerate his "child molester" look, peppered with "I look this way and I still end up in a romantic relationship with the current hottest sex goddess of Hollywood."

Yeah, those things always annoyed me too.

So who are you?

Eh, sometimes I ask myself that same question.
