It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth.

Owen Wilson has signed on to star in an untitled Woody Allen project. I’ve been a fan of (though not always pleased with) Owen Wilson since Bottle Rocket. I [...]
Valentine’s Day has come and gone but you’re still feeling romantic so here’s my top 15 favorite romantic movies or movie romances… I don’t know, I like them and I hope they like me just as much! First up: a classic romantic comedy and its remake, that’s right, Sabrina (1954) and Sabrina (1995). The original was [...]
Continuing the relationship developed while working on Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen’s next film will be produced by Spanish production company Mediapro, with Spanish broadcaster Antena 3 serving to co-produce. The new movie, entitled You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, follows the love lives of the various members of a family, and the efforts [...]
Woody Allen delivers once again another quirky story starring Larry David in the new film Whatever Works. Spinning its way out of the Tribeca Film Festival’s official selection list and onto a fairly bigger range of theaters, the upcoming comedy is being spat out with the help of Sony Pictures Classic for distribution.
