I caught the last 40 minutes of Match Point. And I have no desire to see the rest. The unevenness of the performances alone might be enough to keep me away.

Aww-- you missed the only thing that I truly liked about the moment-- the set-up of the gimmicky "gravity" bit in the climax.

I liked how the ring from the 1-sheet worked its way into the story in a way I wasn't expecting, but over all, blech bah boring.

Wow, and I really liked that movie.
Well, not really really liked it. Just thought it was one of Woody Allen's better films. Yeah, that's not saying too much, huh? |

I liked it too - though I confess Scarlett Johansen may have been a factor in my enjoyment

HI!
|
I enjoyed everything about it except for the couple who jabbered the entire way through it. They were trying to over-intellectualize a director who is already over-intelectualizing. SHUT UP AND WATCH THE FILM!

I liked it as well. I'd be inclined to think it was just a reaction to finally getting a decent Woody Allen film after the last decade, but then Scoop stunk mightily.

I enjoyed Match Point. I thought it was one of his better films. EH1812, did you watch the entire thing eventually or just the 40 minutes you mentioned?

Granted, I like only a handful of Allen flicks. Much to my surprise, I enjoyed Melinda Melinda a great deal. I thought I might like Match Point more because it was supposed to be so different from his other films, and he was pleasantly absent. For similar reasons, I liked The Purple Rose of Cairo, as well. And The Sweet and Lowdown. I think he ruins his own films when he's in them for the most part. Scoop might have been okay if Allen was out of the pic and didn't direct his actors, SJ in particular, to speak just like him. I guess I just don't like her in his movies. |

That's interesting. Among people who liked it, the only major complaint I heard was that it was very much like one of his other films (Crimes and Misdemeanors). I'm not much of a Johanssen fan so far, but did think she did a creditable job on this one.
