Author Topic: Anything Else Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-23-2003 12:01 AM                     Woody Allen is back in New York, but his comedy is getting more lightweight by the minute. Jason Biggs is involved with Christina Ricci, playing her usual vixen self (will she ever be able to break the mold?) Woody Allen is a supporting character this time out, but we've seen this (albeit at one time very funny) shtick before. It's just getting tired. The cocaine scene might have been funny when it was all the rage among this set 30 years ago, but today it just appears old, dull and foolish, just like coke heads. There are some good moments in it, especially by Danny DeVito as a washed up agent, but a washed up Woody Allen is more to the truth. It does feature some nice widescreen (true anamorphic)photography, Allen's first since MANHATTAN in 1978.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-02-2003 03:13 AM                        10/01/2003 7:50pm Loews Cineplex LTM Auditorium #5 Attendance 7 presentation poor the print was badly scratched frame/focus was perfect. I liked this. I am not a huge Woody Allen fan, or a huge Jason Biggs fan but I really enjoyed this. It hit kinda close to home because Christina Ricci's character reminded me some of the ladies ive been involved with.  |  IP: Logged
