Musings on movies, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I write about things I liked WITHOUT SPOILERS. The only thing I hate more than spoilers is reviewers' trashing movies because they think it makes them seem smart. Movie title links are usually links to blog posts.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
I wouldn't miss a Woody Allen joint. He is constantly improving at showing (to quote High Society) the privileged class enjoying its privileges, and now has relocated from New York and London to Barcelona and other parts of Spain. Newcomer (to me--according to imdb she has 5 pictures coming in the next year in a half) Rebecca Hall (no, wait, she was in The Prestige with Scarlett Johansson) plays the requisite fearful Woody-type character, and Penelope Cruz the requisite loony b***h. Javier Bardem is the ladies' man Woody wishes he were, and Scarlett the free spirited Annie Hall type.
