Review: Scoop, dir Woody Allen (2006) Set in a privileged version of London, the film successfully marries a crime thriller with classic Allen stand-up comedy, this time with the added boost of Scarlett Johansson doing excellent stand-up against Hugh Jackman's straight guy. The romantic drama between Sondra Pransky (Johansson) and Peter Lyman (Jackman) is a necessary device to propel the crime

Okay, just my 2 cents on a theatre-related story this week. The Broadway revival of Oleanna is closing Jan. 3. According to Michael Riedel's column in The New York Post, there was a bit of a dustup between playwright David Mamet and the producers about the post-performance talkbacks . Mamet did not like them but they were popular with audiences. I don't agree with Mamet's point of view but I understand...

Andy Samberg was in Chicago this past Sunday at a YLD event. Switching gears, Bazer and Samberg discussed the comedian’s Jewish identity. He said his parents raised him with a strong cultural Jewish identity, but, at first, not a particularly religious one. One day his sister, in the fifth grade at the time, came home from her Jewish day school and said, “We’re way more Jewish than...

Five and half years ago, the Century Foundation's enormous brownstone at 41 East 70th Street nearly sold to Woody Allen and his wife, until he decided that renovating the place from offices into a house would take too much work. The house was asking $15 million. Since then, the price of the townhouse--which Paula Del Nunzio , probably the most powerful townhouse broker in Manhattan, is calling the...

“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.” -Woody Allen I love meringue cookies.

Welcome to a new series here on Cinematical where we select an actor or actress and the role we think is their all time best. Last August, "Meryl Streep" wrote an op-ed piece for The Onion called "Name One Masterpiece Of Cinema That I've Starred In." It was really written by the Onion staff, of course, but they (and Streep) made a good point. For a woman who is very possibly the...

"Love is the answer," said Woody Allen, "but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions." Indeed. And in that particular field, few subjects have inspired quite so much inquiry as the female orgasm. Some of the greatest male minds, from Sigmund Freud to Billy Chrystal, have wrestled with the subject. Does it exist? What is its evolutionary...

( Via Clusterstock ) Some good insight from David P. Goldman : There is a pretty close inverse correlation between the 10-year yield and the S&P. What could account for this? NOT economic recovery, in which real interest rates rise. And not expectations of lower inflation–the spread between coupons and TIPS continues to widen and commodity prices are soaring. Eliminate the impossible, and...
