    Went to the theatre to see Juror#2, Clint Eastwood’s latest film. We enjoyed it tremendously. Its - in aome ways- his Crimes and Misdemeanors. The film is precisely and assuredly filmed and its Nicolas Hoult’s to lead. The cast delivers beautifully and it has an wnding that set the theatre abuzz-

    Now rewatching Woody Allen’s second greatest film ever, Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989). Woody’s amazing run in the 80’s is one for the ages. This film is a masterpiece. Brilliant performances, especially by Martin Landau.

    After viewing the first cut of Crimes and Misdemeanors, Woody Allen chose to get rid of the first act and call back actors for reshoots. Daryl Hannah’s role was reduced to a brief cameo & Sean Young’s scenes were all cut from the final film.

    If you asked me twenty years ago,"what was your favorite movie"? I'd have said tied between "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". That covered the human condition. Today i'd add "The Martian" and "Midnight Run..." First movie luvs? Cross ponds.

    A depressing thing about FB is auto-generated AI slop that is pushed into my feed. I get a lot of pages about movies that are created by AI. I like movies, but I resent being farmed for engagement. In this case, the AI has misidentified Anjelica Huston in Crimes and Misdemeanors (see alt text)...

    I've told this story before but we saw this on its first release early in '86 and I loved it to death from that moment. The 3 movie run made up by this, Radio Days and Crimes and Misdemeanors are a wonderful second peak in his career.

    Oddly, his best film (imho) is the very superior “Crimes and Misdemeanors”. He allows his actors to let loose in that one- well written. Does crime pay? Does it? But how ironic given the title- there must have been a wee smidge of internal conflict involved, 1989.

    There’s a quote by the psychoanalyst character in the film Crimes and Misdemeanors that says something like we seek to re-find parental figures in partners and we also expect them to heal the emotional wounds those same parental figures caused. It’s an impossible dilemma.

    I used to love Woody Allen. The last movie of his that I watched that I really liked was Crimes and Misdemeanors. I saw and disliked Shadows and Fog, but it was Husbands and Wives that killed my Woody fandom. The Juliette Lewis character being attracted to his characters was creepy.

    Crimes and Misdemeanors. It’s got everything you could want in a film—great acting, great writing, great directing, comedy, drama, horror, romance, suspense—all while more or less functioning as a philosophical argument about existence and morality (that I don’t exactly agree with). Brilliant!

    I think of all Woody Allen's ensemble-style critiques of societal dysfunction, this is probably my favourite. Ostensibly, it's really about the perilous peccadilloes of "Judah" (Martin Landau) who is one of those highly respected clinicians who is married to "Miriam" (Claire Bloom) but has been having an affair with "Dolores" (Anjelica Huston) for as long as he can remember.

    Found "Crimes and Misdemeanors"(1989) his most transparent film. He decided there's no god and his conclusion was that life had no meaning, so he was free to do whatever. 1991 affair with Soon-Yi. 1992 police case re Dylan. To be clear, this is only about Allen's reasoning, not belief or religion...
