Woody Allen's newest movie : "Match Point"

[Shine]

The critics are saying it's easily one of the best he's done in the past decade and I would agree. It was a fascinating story about luck, lust and morality.

It raised an interesting question: Is it better to be "lucky" or "good"?

hmmm......

1. Also, from trailer, looks completely different from any other movie of his

2. a key difference was that it was shot completely in London

as opposed to Manhattan.

3. Not just that, it looks like a suspense filled drama, almost thriller.

He's done straight drama but this looks like a different genre altogether.

4. the review that I read today said it was "plot-driven, rather than

character-driven"...I thought that was an interesting way to describe it.

Yes, it was definitely suspenseful, with some good twists, too. I recommend it.

BTW, did you know that Tues @ 5:30am CA time, they're supposed to release the Oscar nominations? I learned that factoid, courtesy Radio Lady. :thumbsup: I can't wait!

5. Match Point is well worth the $$$

We enjoyed it lots.
