Like they used to make them

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2006)

I love old movies. If it's in B&W. I will probably watch it. Why don't they make them like that any more? They do. At least Woody Allen does. He captured the British aristocracy, Irish easy, and American money-lover in a dynamic dance of suspense and lust.
I could feel the tension in the theater as the plot twisted and the viewers' minds tried to grapple with passion, deceit, and crime. At the end of the movie, there was an audible gasp - "Is that it?" "Wait, go back!" "What happened?" I'll be thinking and talking about Matchpoint for quite a while. I rate it second to Crimes and Misdemeanors which had a better motive for "eliminating the problem".
Not to be missed if you like movies the way they used to make them!
