In 1975, cartoonist and children’s book illustrator Stuart Hample had the bright idea to take the luckless, lovelorn, philosophical persona of Woody Allen—then famous for what the aliens in Allen’s Stardust Memories would later call his “early, funny films”—and turn it into a daily newspaper strip. Amazingly, Allen agreed, and even offered to provide Hample with...
I know he's a creepy old man, but still..."...That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works."- Whatever Works (dir. Woody Allen 2009)
Icon, rental and retail A weird mixture of the standard Ken Loach film (working class struggling against deprivation, injustice and crime) with standard Hollywood fare (problems magically solved by lead actor's hero). Where Woody Allen had a Bogart simulacrum do this in Play It Again, Sam, postman Steve Evets has his football hero, Eric Cantona. And here, he gets the real Cantona, now a bearded 43-year-old...
Rabbi Meir Kahane was the very first victim of Al Queda on American soil. Why was he targeted first? What was so threatening about him and his message?

Film stars such as Woody Allen, Emma Thompson and Barbra Streisand paid up to £18,000 each for face-to-face lessons. He even taught Doris...
Suppose you're wandering around an art museum and you stumble upon a suicidal hottie who's read a bit too much Sartre or Camus for her own good and who's more than overwhelmed with existential angst. If there's no hope of talking her out of her suicidal despair, what should you do? In this hilarious clip, Woody Allen teaches us that desperate times call for desperate measures :) At least he didn't...

Year: 2008 (U.K release 2009) Director: Woody Allen Screenplay: Woody Allen Starring: Scarlett Johansson , Javier Bardem , Penelope Cruz, Rebecca Hall Woody Allen is a director I admire for a few reasons, but one thing that always gets me is effort.

Last month, Woody Allen explained in an interview how to tell whether one of his movies is good or bad simply from its title : "If I look at the film and it's no good, I don't like to give it an aggressive title, I give it ... the kind of title that is low-key and promises nothing, so people are less disappointed by it". Shortly after, he announced that his next film would be called You...
Is inevitably going to be absolute cr*p. How can Roland Emmerich still be making movies? Where does he get the funding? He movies are even sh*tter than Roman Polanski’s and Woody Allen’s – though immeasurably less pretentious, at least -, plus he’s already made 2012, anyway, though he called it The Day After Tomorrow the last [...]
