to "The Paczki" "worst films ever made???" Are you sure you didn't walk into "Transformers"? or the "Smurfs" movie?

NYC and Paris are my two favorite cities in the world. Woody Allen has captured both exquisitely in his films. And as Allen did with John Cusak in "Bullets Over Broadway", Allen became Cusak's character. Here Owen Wilson has become Allen.

As usual, his distaste for elitist idiots comes shining through in Paul, Inez and her parents. Here's a guy, Paul, who is supposedly guest lecturing at the Sorbonne and he can't even pronounce Sorbonne! But when Paul begins arguing with the museum guide in the garden at the Rodin Museum about whether Camille was actually the wife or mistress of Rodin, everyone was laughing out loud in the theater. Perhaps, Mr. "The Paczki" you need to know classical art and literature to understand and appreciate a Woody Allen movie. I would like to know YOUR credentials to be putting down Allen's knowledge of Hemingway or F. Scott Fitzgerald much less Cole Porter!
The actor who stars in the TV show Law and Order: Los Angeles was superb as Hemingway. Inspired casting!
I was transported back to Paris! It had been exactly one year ago that I saw M. Cotillard in "Inception" and before that when she won the Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Piaget in "La Vie en Rose." I see maybe two or three movies a year in theaters...and this one everyone around me wanted to see again!

Agreed, Mark. Although much of Annie Hall is still human and funny, there are several jokes and references that are specific to the 70's. I can't stand it when audiences look "blindly" back to the "glory days" of an artist as is they can never do anything relevant again. The perfect example is listening to old farts talk about SNL of the 70's as if those writers and that cast never threw in a clunker.
