She's Funny That Way (2014)

Wow - so Woodyesuque....

[8/10 · 10 April 2016]

Hey Woody, no offense, but I loved this movie.... it really reminded me of your lighter days.....don't be cruel, but Peter Bogdanovich has done a great job of continuing the Woody Allen genre...

I loved Imogen's NY-ish accent...wow, pretty realistic most of the time - way better than what I have been trying for 20 years :(, I would not have believed that she is British ;).... Honey, I love what you did on this film....time to try out for the CIA - you really have a wonderful way with accents, just as an alternative ;)

It was a really nice light hearted movie....I am hoping for a Woody successor, am Peter certainly presents a very good case.

Redirected (2014)

It was a good "something different" movie!!

Somewhat slapstick, but I think it was well written, nicely sequenced and the actors performed well. It was a great late night watch and I cannot complain.

I laughed my head off in more than a few scenes and I don't laugh easily ;) at most things that amuse others. For example, I found Fargo and Pulp Fiction to be hilarious!

Emilis has done a good job directing the film. A bit of Coen favor,some shades of Guy Ritchie and of course some inspiration from Tarantino.

Overall a good one time watch. unlikely to be a classic, but IMO much better than other stuff that masquerades as comedy!

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

Wow - are you sure this is not a Woody Allen flick?

[8/10 · 1 June 2014]

Seems so nostalgically Allen. the dark humor. the flawless acting - marvelous actually. the casting - Wow!! the vintage scenery, costumes- except Mark Strong// Not sure why they decided to outfit him with the ill fitting jacket - totally out of tune with the 1930's Milanese London couture!

the music, just mellifluous!

are you sure? To me at least, there were ample flavours of Allen.

Either way, a very mice movie.

Well cast, well acted and obviously well directed.

Bharat - nalla irikka - awesome job!! Keep up the good work and pump out more of these fantastic products.

American Hustle (2013)

What the .....

[1/10 · 2 January 2014]

Come on!! How can anyone give this movie anything more than a 1? I agree with other reviewers - IMDBs ratings are getting to be ludicrous.

I am amazed how someone can take an interesting story and butcher it!! What about the acting? Phffff!!! At least in real life 70's some of these guys were actually toked out of their skulls and could thus pass off lame scenes as powerful acting - not anymore chumps - in spite of all the fantastic special effects, makeup and cinematographic techniques that are available today - bad acting is bad acting! period!

Watching this movie is like watching paint dry, and bad paint at that. They should be paying people to watch it not the other way around. Awful.
