Midnight in Paris

Overall, I think I just don't like Woody Allen.  I enjoyed Scoop, and Match Point, but other than that I have never liked Allen's films.  They are too... meandering.  They never seem to really be going anywhere.  No climax, nothing moving the story forward, just characters chillin' haha  The time travel aspect was cool but I would have liked it if Allen had delved even more deeply into that concept, letting Owen Wilson's character explore the strange circumstances and question his surroundings.  Also, to be honest, the film may have been too smart for me as I didn't come close to recognizing all the name drops that kept popping up; and therefore some of the subtleties may have been beyond my grasp.

This film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, so come this Sunday's awards ceremony we will see whether it goes down in history... I will give the film this - it certainly made me want to walk the streets of Paris.
