To Rome with Love (Movie Review)

06.18.2012 | By |

To Rome with Love is unequivocally a perfectly imperfect Woody Allen comedy that uses four very funny Italian vignettes to convey distinct reflective lessons on life. With his expected all star cast, including Spanish actress Penélope Cruz, Allen extracts all the beauty and charm of Rome, while injecting his indelible quirky, witty, and yes, outlandish humor to his latest narrative.

Midnight in Paris (Movie Review)

12.20.2011 | By |

*Updated December 2025

Just being in Paris at midnight is a memorable experience that true romantics will appreciate, and most likely never forget. In the case of Woody Allen, he decided to make a movie about it. Its title is self explanatory, Midnight in Paris, and it is without question his best work since Match Point, a powerful drama that echoes the writings of Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It is also, through May, one of my top 10 films of 2011.

Woody Allen announces cast for 'Midnight in Paris'

Woody Allen announced today the full cast for MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, his latest film in pre-production. The film stars, in alphabetical order:  Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen and Owen Wilson. Co-starring in the film, in alphabetical order, are: Nina Arianda, Kurt Fuller, Tom Hiddleston, Mimi Kennedy, Alison Pill and Corey Stoll. The film shoots this summer in Paris.
 
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is a romantic comedy that follows a family travelling to the city for business. The party includes a young engaged couple that has their lives transformed throughout the journey. The film celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better.
 
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is produced by Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures. It is part of a three-picture financing deal between Allen’s Gravier Productions and Mediapro, the Spain-based company which also funded Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and the upcoming “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” to be released domestically by Sony Pictures Classics this fall. Imagina International Sales is handling international sales for MIDNIGHT IN PARIS for most territories.

*Updated December 2025

Not so long ago, New York-based director Woody Allen confessed to us that the reason there are never any prominent Hispanic characters in his films is because he sticks to what he knows. Woody Allen usually focuses on old Jewish families, upper-class Manhattanites, and chaotic love affairs that flirt with death. Read More
