By James H (4,675) on 07 Nov 2007

I just didn't like this film. Part of the problem is I am not at all an Andy Farcia fan, he's doing his wannabe Al Pacino bit as usual…

More Reviews of New York Stories

Overall, three short films by very accomplished directors who have ALL delivered much better work…

Description: ''New York Stories is a 1989 anthology film; it consists of three shorts, with the central theme being New York City…

For timing purposes I only re watched Allen's segment here…

Three great directors serve up a pretty hit and miss affair. My favourite of the three is Woody Allens bit…

Three short stories, one each directed by Scorcese, Coppola, and Woody Allen…

Life Lessons is one of Scorsese's finest films and Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks is fairly amusing, but the Coppolas' Life Without Zoe is terrible…

Go ahead and skip through the middle coppola section. the scorsese part is the main feature…

I only got to see Scorcese's story which was really good…

Three segments into a film. All three were good and interesting; only it will affect your preference for filmmaking style and storyline…
