You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger Review

Director/Writer: Woody Allen Starring: Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Freida Pinto, Antonio Banderas Cinematographer: Vilmos Zsigmond Studio: Sony Pictures Classics By now even Woody Allen’s most ardent defenders have to admit that for some time now he’s been coasting.

A shoot-‘em-up that’s generally a letdown Watching the film adaptation of DC Comics’ Jonah Hex is like watching an 80-minute trailer. There are a lot of explosions and shoot-outs, plenty of scenes of Megan Fox shedding petticoats, a few solid one-liners, some inexplicable dreamlike sequences and jarring bursts of squealing rock music. There’s also just enough of a plot—an overly ambitious cocktail of revenge, friendship, mortality and morality, mixed in with allusions to modern-day terrorism and the Tea Party—to...  read more
