Bloggy Allen

Sometimes it's good to take a break from your favourite film genre and slip the old brain into neutral for some mindless entertainment. And when I do, Woody Allen is my preferred writer/director, even though he hasn't produced anything of worth since 1985's Hannah and Her Crustacean's Exoskeleton. As with all great artists, Allen has that knack for writing memorable dialog that is just as relevant today, so as I boot-up my repaired laptop and guiltily post for the first time in over two weeks, I'm reminded of a line from Annie Hall "A blog is like a shark - it has to keep moving forward or it dies."
