trailer trash- Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona

"Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona" is Woody Allen's latest film starring Scarlett Johanssen, Penelope Cruz and Academy Award winning actor Javier Bardem. This is one of the movies, I was most excited to see this year, not only because i think Woody Allen is a genius and i'm crazy about Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, but i thought it would be just as amazing as "Match Point." sadly that wasn't the case and while it was very entertaining, Penelope Cruz steals every scene she's in, while Javier smolders (because he's F-ing incredible) and Rebecca Hall is rather endearing, i left the film wanting more. it's beautiful to watch since the vast majority of the film takes place in Barcelona and each location attempts to capture the all of the city's and Gaudi's brilliance. i just thought the film would be bigger in all aspects and it just wasn't. if i had to give it a score on a scale of 1-10, it would be a 7. i'm hoping when this film comes out on DVD I'll really be able to appreciate whatever Woody Allen was trying to do, but until then i'll probably forget i saw it. oh and this trailer basically gives away the entire movie.
