My Movie Diary 2016 (235 movies items)" 9.16 Really, in the last dim stages of his career, Woody Allen tries to get the magic back in this tale of estranged love affairs in old Hollywood. And getting it back also meant rehashing old themes. In Cafe Society, Jesse Eisenberg is the nephew of movie mogul Steve Carrell who gives him a job in the studio only to find themselves clashing with personal interests. Its watchable as any Woody film, but tamer and missing the pop of a champagne bottle."
“Thoughts Before Watching This:
1. This will be my first encounter with a Woody Allen film.
2. Not sure why I just never got around to his other stuff yet.
3. It has a decent enough cast.
4. Honestly I don't know much about it, but the plot seems interesting.
5. I swear Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart seem to do well together given they do so many films together.
6. Anyways time to get this show on the road.
Thoughts While Watching This:
1. The way it starts does remind me of films in the 30s.
2. Steve Carell is definitely a much better choice for the role than Bruce Willis would have been.
3. Their family is actually pretty interesting.
4. Mmm Potato Pancakes!
5. Okay” read more

The evolution of Steve Carell
Film Diary 2016/2017
“If you don't want spoilers, you've probably read too much already.
It's a very well-thought out movie, about arguably a quietly painful experience.
It shows you things that you can learn about lots of topics, from what it's like to hobnob with rich people, what it's like to have friends who are Jews, what the Jazz age was like, why violence and organized crime is part of society, what are the limits of what money can buy you, what is the relationship between youth and age, and whether people ever get what they really want out of life, and probably more.
But ultimately I think whether or not you enjoy the movie or merely respect it but still somehow just wish it to be over, is the relationship you have, the stance you take, towards that romantic melancholy at t” read more
2016 Films Ranked (170 movies items)"This isn't Woody Allen's best work, mostly due to a disjointed plot, but it is still witty, smart; typical Woody Allen. 7.5/10"
