I unabashedly love the work of writer/director/actor Woody Allen. I have seen 35 of his 44 films and though many of his works have problems, I can always find at least one thing to latch onto. As a filmmaker, Woody Allen is constantly challenging me to except characters that are (somewhat) morally reprehensible and look at his familiar story lines and motifs with different eyes. Many film fans could site a handful of his films that they are not a fan of, but I feel that he goes on creative streaks that are only matched by a few. Most recently with Melinda and Melinda, Match Point, Cassandra’s Dream, and Vicky Christina Barcelona. Whatever Works had its moments, but I can honestly say that it was an extremely uneven film. Luckily Mr. Allen puts out a film a year and is back once again with his European comedic romance You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. I have to admit that although I am excited for his new film, I find this trailer a little bit off. It neither has the big laughs of his earlier work, the somberness of films like Match Point and Interiors, the sexiness off Vicky Christina Barcelona, or the greatness of his masterpieces(Manhattan, Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors). It does however boast a fantastic cast and I will hold judgment until I see the film for myself. You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger stars Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto, Lucy Punch, Naomi Watts and opens September 22, 2010. Check out the trailer below.
