Go ahead and skip through the middle coppola section. the scorsese part is the main feature. the last woody allen part is good for allen fans who have seen his other movies.

Review of Just the Ticket (1998)

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

This film deserves four stars based solely on the strength of Martin Scorcese's contribution starring Nick Nolte…

Nice film, the first two stories are a bit slow, but the third is classic Allen…

This is probably the best anthology film I've see. The only thing that brings it down is the Coppola portion of it…

I loved Scorsese and Allen's segments- these were wonderfully contrasted pieces. Coppola's, however, is rather pithy in comparision…

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

Life Lessons'' directed by Martin Scorcese: 4 out of 5 stars''Life without Zoe'' directed by Francis F…

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

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

Interesting array of shorts, with Scorsese's effort standing out most…

Scorcese: 6/10 it's good but hindered by not feeling real coppola: 2/10 which is sadly even worse than his par after the 70s allen: 7.5/10…
