Woody Wednesday (Movie review): It’s not at the level of “Annie Hall,” but it’s nice to have Allen and Keaton back, sharing the spotlight with the city.
Frightening Friday (Movie reviews): Bruce Springsteen’s sister takes over the lead role in sequels that lack the odd charm of the original.
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): Allen’s “Love and Death” is accessible and funny even though it targets a genre that’s not mainstream.
Movie review: Three decades later, Murphy and Hall still look great. But the writers obviously weren’t polishing fresh jokes in the interim.
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): “Coming to America” isn’t a hilarious screenplay, but the wild creations of the two leads are a blast.
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): In a rare entry not directed by Allen, cinematic beauty, pratfalls and romance combine to form an early gem.
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Thanks to the chemistry between Prinze Jr. and Cook, “She’s All That” makes a case for teen classic status.
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): This early calling card in Allen’s oeuvre is driven by snort-worthy off-the-cuff lines.
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): Allen’s first directorial effort is one of his weirdest. He and his pals riff dialog (and a plot) atop a Japanese spy film.
