Funny, but I hate the ones he's
not in.
Realizing I haven't seen anything post child-love period, I rented everything he's done since then during a Netflix lull of anything new and exciting.
Most of it was 'meh', but the worst was "Celebrity" which had Kenneth Branaugh playing, I kid you not, Woody Allen. Speech affectations, mannerisms and everything. It was disconcerting. If the role is supposed to be Woody, then give me Woody. The film was completely unwatchable, and I returned it unfinished.
The two gems among Woody's later work, if anyone's interested, are "Deconstructing Harry" and "Small Time Crooks."
Annie Hall's great, but I will always resent it for beating out "Star Wars" for Best Picture in 1977.
