VICKIE CHRISTINA BARCELONA by WOODY ALLEN

Woody Allen is my favorite filmmaker because he has my first name for his last name. I also read that he's important because he has been able to capture the foibles of contemporary, adult relationships without turning a blind eye to the psychological dynamics that make the educated classes so dysfunctional. I'm not totally sure about this second reason, to be honest, but he does have my name in his name. In Vickie Christina Barcelona, Woody Allen has these really beautiful women having all these weird threesomes with Havier Barden. Personally, since Barden played that f'ed up killer dude in No Country for Old Men, I can't see how any woman would go anywhere near him for any reason, so I really have to question Woody Allen's casting choice here. Throughout the whole film I kept blurting "Watch out! Don't go back to his house with him!! He's a Killer!!" I don't really like horror films, but this one was more interesting than most because Woody Allen married his adopted daughter. -AF
