Film Critic Quote of the Week
"It's a bit tougher to accept the filmmaker's appearance in Scoop as a professional magician named Splendini, who specializes in "dematerializing" women by means of a double-paneled box. Here is Allen as stammering self-parody; a pent-up bundle of tics and quirks so irritating that, halfway through, you may feel like ending the misery (his and yours) by clamping an ether-soaked rag over that long-beloved old face."

Bill Gallo of the Village Voice, slamming the awful new Woody Allen film. The worst part, of course, is Allen's performance. Why does he keep putting his 70-year-old self in movie plots involving 20-somethings? But at least he doesn't make Scarlett Johannson his love interest.
