Our twice-monthly round up of Woody Allen bits from around the web. If you’ve seen Blue Jasmine, you’ll know Joy Carlin appears in one of the very first scenes.

Match Point looms large in the legend of Woody Allen. His first film set solely in Europe, it saw a big departure for Allen, after a period of being in the outs with the critics and audiences.

This week’s video is another super cut – a mix of scenes from various films. This one is all Woody Allen films and features dozens of actors before they were famous. Even we were surprised by some of these. Some of the cameos we simply didn’t spot. Watch the video before you see the full […]

The production has been significantly more low key than the public Blue Jasmine filming on the streets of San Francisco (perhaps because it’s a period piece and modern French buildings just won’t do). A number of new images surfaced this weekend. @sofiacrosta1 […]
The last Allen American film for many years, Melinda And Melinda presents an interesting premise – can the same story be told as a drama or a comedy? And which has more value? Unfortunately, no answer comes along, and the film plods along and goes almost nowhere. An intellectual experiment, with little heart, it doesn’t […]
