trailer trash - Whatever Works

Over the past couple years one of my favorite things about the summer has been when Woody Allen releases his latest flick. It all started with Match Point in 2005 (which was released in the winter but I spent all summer watching it over and over again on DVD,) then Scoop in '06, and Vicky Christina Barcelona, last year. While they all haven't been as amazing as Match Point they've all had plenty to offer, full of Woody's charm and shot in Europe. Whatever Works is his first New York based film since 2004's Melinda & Melinda, & stars Larry David & Evan Rachel Wood whick looks cute & quirky, but I can't wait for him to shoot in London again.

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.
