I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving on the road at night I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.
I love this man. Only one other comes close to the Walken level. (P.S. Woody Allen is okay too.) |

You wouldn't have that quote without him.

| Can you imagine Allen saying that instead of Walken? Actually, I think that'd be really fucking funny. |

Woody Allen's recent films are really depressing.
Extremely depressing. |

That's the movie I'm talking about. The whole movie is about men's fear od death. It seriously gave me depression  |

Now go see Crimes and Misdemeanors. It's pretty similar in theme.

I was happy that Match Point wasn't a crapfest like the last - oh, five or so of his movies. Deconstructing Harry came out of a slump too remember. (match point was no deconstructing harry though)

Match Point was pretty out there for Allen. Even among his serious movies it's very different.

I loved how he used the same camera shots he uses in New York. Like the Brooklyn Bridge scene in Manhattan became the London Bridge- nearly identical camera angle though.
I liked it alright. The last twenty minutes of the movie was great. Everything else was kind of meh.
Sorry, I just saw it recently, so I have a lot to say about it since I'm a Woody Allan fan to a crazy degree.

We can make one May 4th. I'll call it "Condition Oakland", and that's when you know it's time. |

It's a fact. NO MOVIE with Christopher Walken, Samuel L Jackson or Sean Connery can be bad. They make it good automatically
