Finally, I saw the new Woody Allen film, Small Time Crooks.
I actually
saw this one twice. Now, it seems most people either love him or hate
him. I'm neutral, I think he's a weird guy, but he's an exceptional
writer. Small Time Crooks follows Ray and Frenchy Winkler, played by
Woody Allen and Tracey Ullman respectively. Ray thinks of a mastermind
plan to open a cookie shop to tunnel under ground into a bank and rob
them of two million dollars. Things take a nasty turn when a police
officer buying cookies follows them into the tunnel. Instead, the
officer markets their wonderful cookies and open up a huge cookie chain.
With a few cameo appearances this film is the best film I saw this week,
cleverly written, well acted and constantly funny. If you like Woody
Allen it's one of his best in years, if not, tough.
