Melinda and Melinda

Woody Allen. The name alone seems to conjure up bizarre scenarios, unexpected slapstick, and self-deprecating tirades of ironic detachment. But for all of that, he has produced some wonderful films. Melinda and Melinda turned out to be a really interesting and well-balanced piece, to my mild surprise and interest. I think he is probably at his best poking fun at social interaction in the intellectual vein, and this is an exercise in exactly that. What can I say, I like sticking my finger in my brain and poking around.
