STOP THE LISTS! over 2 years ago

Allison – hi, by the way – I actually think Scoop was one of his most fun, carefree films of the last decade. He was very funny himself and worked well with Scarlett Johannson in it. It reminded me slightly of Manhattan Murder Mystery (but perhaps wasn’t quite as good as that). I’m always grateful for a ‘fun’ Woody film though.

film critics over 2 years ago

I’ve always enjoyed a lot of, or, well, practically nearly all of Jonathan Rosenbaum’s criticism, especially the way he mines some undervalued films – which maybe deserve closer inspection – for fresh visual pleasures or newer ways of looking at them. Also, Anne Billson, who writes fortnightly for UK’s the Guardian, is exemplary. She often has a lot of great unpretentious but concrete views on certain films; and she loves horror like I do, too.
