CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS (1989) - Oct. 8, 2006 (Fourth or Fifth Viewing)
I think I needed to watch a really good movie to get the stink of Texas Chainsaw off me. And they don't come much better than this; this is a great film and almost certainly Woody Allen's best. Featuring excellent performances from Anjelica Huston, Alan Alda, Mia Farrow and Sam Waterston. And then of course there's Martin Landau, who gives what has to be one of the best performances of all time as an opthamologist who has to deal with the guilt after having his mistress killed. Woody Allen is in peak form here: his writing and direction are pretty much perfect, and he gives one of his better performances as a struggling documentarian. Good stuff. ****
