Paris-Manhattan is a charming romantic comedy and ode to cinephilia that would make Woody Allen proud.
This week, our archival title DVD and Blu-ray column returns with looks at Walt Disney's Peter Pan , Woody Allen's Sleeper , Stephen King's Cujo , and the John Ford/John Wayne romantic drama The Quiet Man .
Looking to shake the early winter doldrums? Before you head out or order in a movie out on DVD this week, take a look at our eclectic line-up of reviews including the action of Taken 2 and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning , the martial arts mayhem of Swords of Dragons Gate , the drama of Won't Back Down , the visual splendour of Samsara , and the return of Woody Allen in To Rome with Love .
While not one of the more disposable films in the Woody Allen cannon, the filmmaker's latest To Rome With Love only manages to be a mildly amusing mishmash of four separate, mediocre, half-baked stories instead of just one really good one.
Following a successful trip to New York, herself, Sasha James returns to give us a rundown of the 6th episode of HBO's Girls , this time with producer Judd Apatow at the helm, the action taking place in Michigan, and with a lot more Goo Goo Dolls.
Gil and Inez are on a trip to Paris, tagging along with her parents. It's evident from the start that their personalities clash. He is a successful Hollywood screenwriter in the middle of writing his first original novel, while she scoffs at her fiancé's new occupational wishes. After a less than cordial dinner with some new acquaintances, Gil goes for a walk around the city, finally stopping at an nondescript staircase. As a nearby clocks chimes midnight, an old-fashioned car pulls up and a stranger beckons Gil inside.
