Woody Allen is currently deep in production on his 2016 Film. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to miss a good gala. The director famously keeps shooting hours to a reasonable working day. Which means even after a day of filming, he can still put on a suit and attend the opening of the newly […]

Picking Up The Pieces is a farcical, gross out comedy directed by Alfonso Arau. Woody Allen essentially leads a big cast in a story about a severed hand bringing miracles to a small town. Widely regarded as a disaster, it actually shows Allen having fun at least. Woody Allen stars as Tex Cowley, a butcher […]

Woody Allen returns to contemporary New York for Small Time Crooks, one of those tales that could be by no one else. A pleasant light hearted comedy with broad cartoonish characters, it’s a bit of silliness that might not mean much, but Allen does so well. Woody Allen stars as Ray, a small time crook […]
