   Woody Reviews

   I can't understand how older fans of Woody Allen think his new work is "so   
   bad." But I'm a fan of Prince, and we see the same thing in the Prince   
   newsgroup. He hasn't made a great album since 1987, he's washed up, then a   
   new album comes out and some dumb critics say it's a "return to form." It's   
   really quite tiring and predictable, and I see the same thing from fans and   
   critics of Woody Allen. Instead of enjoying each new work, and appreciating   
   an artist for continuing to evolve, we compare the new work to 1 or 2 of the   
   so-called "best works," a time period where supossedly everyone felt the   
   same. Mostly it's nostalgia, though.   
      
   As such, here are my reviews of Woody's works... coming from a 28 year old   
   guy who's just gotten into Woody's work about two years ago.
