There was hope in 2005 that Woody Allen had re-discovered his groove with the release of Match Point. Since then, however, he has slipped back into the sinkhole of mediocrity that kept him from greatness throughout most of the '90s and '00s.

The movie compulsively hits fast-forward every time Woody interrupts the action with voice-over narration from an extraneous male narrator, but is nonetheless an improvement by degrees over his last film "Cassandra's Dream."

Allen can’t be losing his touch entirely if he can still persuade three of the hottest people on the planet to make out for our viewing pleasure.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a lovely gift from a filmmaker who, when he's on his game, truly hits the mark.

A sexy, funny divertissement that passes as enjoyably as an idle summer's afternoon in the titular Spanish city.

A valentine to Spain's noted city, Allen's romantic comedy isn't very deep but it's his most entertaining and commercial work since Bullets Over Broadway, a showcase for the talents of Bardem and his three femmes, Johansson, Hall and Penelope Cruz.
