Review of Scoop (1996)

By Amy S (642) on 20 Jun 2013

Not top-tier in the large canon of Woody Allen films, but that just simply means that it settles for charmingly comedic and somewhat biting,…

The film is essentially a piece of nostalgia, but it swings along with an insouciance we haven't had from him in a long time…

Review of Scoop (1996)

By Alex M (2,014) on 09 May 2014

Review of Sully (2016)

By Elsa K (4) on 15 Oct 2016

I liked the movie, specially the flash-backs. Tom Hanks was convincing as Sully. Eastwood handled as a past master the given story…
