Woody Allen
rating:6.70
Comedy set in 1940 on an insurance investigator (Woody Allen)
locking horns with an efficiency expert (Helen Hunt), while a string of suspicious
jewel thefts are occurring. Only half Allen comedy ... but that is still
70% better than the typical Hollywood movie.
is fairly well acted ... Allen is, frankly, way too old for this (which is 65
and he goes to women in their 20s and 30s? PLEASE!), But gives a good performance
; Hunt is simply marvelous. .. It looks very good year in 40 joint
and his verbal sparring with Allen is hilarious;
Charlize Theron is fantastic, but it is shameful and wasted (a huge surprise)
Elizabeth Berkeley really gives a halfway decent performance!
The script is fine if somewhat unbelievable. And the film looks fantastic ...
the costumes and sets of reality evoke the 1940's. Therefore, it is good but not great shakes
.
First, since I am a faithful fan of Woody's films, this may not be the goal
more critical in the world. I put my 18 years
thoroughly enjoyed his witty dialogue, his comedy and sometimes darker
explorations in life, love and death. In addition, I adore the variety of
early jazz sheet music he uses for his films. That said, Woody
to 66-year-old has shown no signs of slowing in his career FLM,
delivery by far the brightest and wittiest comedy I've seen this year, to
" Curse of Jade Scorpion. " The film is a tribute to the movies Pulp
yesteryear. It was established in 1940, Woody plays the role of a detective in ageing
an insurance company. He has cracked many cases enormous, receive information
street contacts, and relying largely on gut instinct and dumb luck. The
can not withstand the new efficiency expert (Helen Hunt) is more intelligent than he
ie, younger than he is, poses a threat to their jobs and can not stand him
Either. During a celebration of a fellow detective from the date of birth, which are both
hypnotized by the magician Zolton, who uses the powers of the '
Jade Scorpion' to tumble deep into the love with each other. The
it fits them just as they are about to kiss, but Zolton
ever released from the keyword you can send them anytime
in deep hypnosis suggestive. Later, Zolton calls CW Briggs, Hypnotize
him with the keyword, and uses it as a pawn to steal jewels from wealthy
farms.
The cast of the film is excellent. There is supposed movie "experts" outside
needs to believe that Woody is too old to the lead in this movie, and it is incredible how
Charlize Theron and Helen Hunt will remain forever
him. I totally disagree. Throughout the film, Woody is the nature of
does not appear as a handsome gent or romantic, in fact, quite the contrary. In
what is called worm, an inchworm, and a cockroach, to name a few.
Theron just wants to have sex with him as an experiment, since it is used
handsome men and muscle, not shrimpy and ugly. Helen Hunt is
hypnotized into loving him, and vice versa, but when not under the spell
Jade, then absolutely loathe each other (I will not go further in this
not to spoil the movie ends.) While Woody is ageing,
his performance was excellent, without losing a step because it offers
cracks wise and witty comments, one after another. Helen Hunt also carried out smoothly and
was really a pleasure to watch. As for the rest of the cast, Dan Aykroyd
is decent in a small but important role, as well as
Charlize Theron and Elizabeth Berkeley.
The cinematography and visual configuration of the film in 1940 jazzy
is absolutely exquisite, is much more polished then his previous work.
The writing is excellent, as I said earlier, Woody has not lost a step in his
in writing or performance. La banda sonora de jazz, as usual, very pleasant
and fits very well with the landscape. In general, "Curse of the Jade Scorpion"
is one of my favorite movies of Woody. If you're a fan of his earlier comedies
light, then definitely going to enjoy this little movie. What are
waiting for? Head up the theater and see it on the big screen.
