Rating: - Clever And Funny.
Scarlet Johnasson and Woody Allen are two people trying to figure out the increasing deaths of young women by the Tarot Card Killer and one dead journalist reckons it's the handsome and very rich Hugh Jackman who may or may not be all his seems. She starts to fall for him while trying her hardest to find anything to link him to the murders and also not to lose her scoop. It's a very funny and clever story, lots of twists and turns.

Rating: - I say this in all sincerity....
This is not the angst-ridden 'Crimes and Misdemeanours' nor is it 'Annie Hall' but still it is sheer pleasure - the new Woody Allen murder mystery with the bizarre introduction.

Rating: - Hugely enjoyable Woody Allen romp
This second film of Woody Allen's Scarlett Johansson period sees his new muse playing a journalism student who encounters a ghost while participating in Allen's cheesy magic act.

All Scarlett has to do now is team up with Woody and tell a bunch of lies to Jackman to get to the bottom of the story.

"Orson Welles once said that a great artist does his best work in his 20s and his 70s. He didn't get a chance to prove it, but Woody Allen, who turned 70 in December, has released two films since reaching that milestone, and so far, he's two for two. For some, "Scoop" will be a comedown after "Match Point," which was meticulous in all its particulars, something "Scoop" decidedly is not. But "Scoop" has something "Match Point" didn't, something that none of Allen's ... Read More:
Rating: - Direct from River Styx
A newsflash from the great beyond
