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

Happy Birthday to Mariel Hemingway 48 today Mariel won the heart of Woody Allen and just about everyone in the audience in 1978's Manhattan , but has been pretty absent from cinema since then. Rumours of her involvement with the biopic of her grandfather go around from time to time - maybe it's due to actually happen now.
There are comedians that I think are not funny. Yet because of certain roles or events, they are forever deemed funny. For example I don't think Eddie Murphy is funny. I think he's a good actor, and I've enjoyed his movies, but I don't find him really funny. His stand up special was pretty funny about 20 years ago, but what have you done for me lately? I do not think Robin Williams is funny. I did...

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...

Mateo Blanco (Lluís Homar) used to be a film director. In fact, back in1994, he was directing movies that bear more than a passing resemblance to the earlier films of Pedro Almodóvar, like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown -- wild but character-driven comedies, walking the line between madcap and melodrama. Almodóvar's recent work, like , and now Broken Embraces, has veered...
