Midnight in Paris

I went to see Woody Allen's new movie Midnight in Paris this past weekend. I really LOVED it. It is probably my all-time favorite Woody Allen movie, and easily one of my favorite movies. I seriously can't wait to see it again (which may actually be a while because I'm not one to go see a movie multiple times in theaters).

I may be a bit sacrilegious here, but I'm going to be honest. I actually think that the newer Woody Allen films are much, much better than his earlier work. To be fair, I've only seen some of his films and not all of them. So I should probably just shut my trap, while I'm still ahead...

Thinking about it, I think I should probably rephrase my last paragraph to say I prefer Woody Allen films that incorporate the supernatural. Seriously, my favorite Woody Allen films (in order) are Midnight in Paris, Scoop, and The Purple Rose of Cairo. What do all of these movies have in common? The supernatural.

Getting back to Midnight in Paris, I should just say you should go see it. Seriously, I mean it. Especially if you know any major figures from the 1920s. If you don't thats ok, you might learn something interesting. If you do, the caricatures are hilarious.

I really never know how much to say about the movies I am writing about. I mean, I want to say what I think about them and justify my opinions, but I don't want to go into too much detail and give the movie away. This is the first "new" movie I am writing about, so I feel I should be extra cautious of this line.

I think I'll probably leave you with this. Owen Wilson does a superb job playing the "Woody Allen character," the setting is gorgeous (to be fair I am a total francophile), and the plot and dialogue were both brilliant. Seriously, find a theater near you that is playing it and go see Midnight in Paris. You won't regret it!
