Borderline bad Woody

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2018)

Tom (Billy Jack) Laughlin dropped his membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts ans Sciences after "Annie Hall" won Best Picture. He believed that "Star Wars" should have won. He understood that George Lucas' film would forever change the way movies were made and that it should have been recognized for that. It's hard to argue with that. Especially now since "Annie Hall" is almost completely forgotten. "AH" is rarely mentioned when Woody Allen fans discuss his movies. It wasn't that good then and now it seems completely dated. Many of Woody's films get better every time I see them ("Stardust Memories" ,"Zelig","Scoop""Broadway Danny Rose"). "AH" just lays there. It seems an hour longer than it is. There are some laugh out loud moments but it hardly seems worth the effort. Then again, it's way better than "Alice".
