Bullets Over Broadway - DVD Film: Totaltiorden.dk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) One of Woody Allen's best films of the '90s, Bullets over Broadway stars John Cusack as a virtual Woody surrogate, a neurotic, Jazz Age writer whose new play sounds wooden and unrealistic to a low-level mobster (Chazz Palminteri) assigned to watch over his boss's actress-girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly). `Bullets Over Broadway' by Woody Allen proves that one of Allen's strengths as a writer is in conceiving of implausible premises such as `Zelig', `Purple Rose of Cairo', and this movie and making them seem very real, and in building some very big jokes out of the situation. Jennifer Tilly is about as close as you can come to a female lead playing against all the talent shown by Wiest and Ullman, but she carries of the role of a classic dumb blond moll (to mob boss Viterelli) who wants to be an actress. www.totaltiorden.dk /shop/dvd_details.php/6305327068|dvd   (1399 words)

Bullets Over Broadway (1994) While I liked Lowdown to a moderate degree, Bullets seemed to be the stronger piece, and it may well be the only Allen film from the Nineties that can stand up next to his classics. Overall, Bullets Over Broadway isn’t the best film produced by Woody Allen, but it’s definitely the strongest piece he released in the Nineties. Bullets Over Broadway appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. www.dvdmg.com /bulletsoverbroadway.shtml   (1189 words)

BULLETS OVER BROADWAY BULLETS is an intricately written and deeply funny screenplay brought brilliantly to life both in front of and behind the camera. He threatens to quit, but the allure of a Broadway hit is too strong for him to resist.

Last check: 2007-11-06) As Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" opens, an earnest young playwright has finally found financing for his latest dreary exercise in social responsibility. There's the sneaky suspicion that some of this subplot in "Bullets Over Broadway" may refer obliquely to events in the last two years in Allen's life. "Bullets Over Broadway" shares a kinship with a more serious film by Allen, "Crimes and Misdemeanors," in which a man committed murder and was able, somehow, to almost justify it. rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19941028/REVIEWS/410280301/1023   (719 words)

'Bullets Over Broadway' oody Allen’s “Bullets Over Broadway” is the most substantive, accessible -- not to mention the funniest—film that the prolific writer-director has made in years. Taking the travails of the artist’s life as his subject, Allen goes back to Broadway during the time of bathtub gin and flappers and a budding playwright named David Shayne (John Cusack), who is struggling to get his latest dramatic work up on the boards. Most of “ Bullets Over Broadway” takes place backstage as Shayne and his troupe of actors prepare for their opening, and Allen’s depiction of the labor pains of creativity is as side-splitting and insightful as anything he has ever done. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/bulletsoverbroadwayrhinson_a019ce.htm   (558 words)

Woody Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His most successful movies were produced in a ten year period starting with Annie Hall; other critical and financial successes were Manhattan, The Purple Rose of Cairo (named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 best films of all time, and Allen's personal favorite) and Hannah and Her Sisters (winner of three Academy Awards). Allen's films tend to be more popular in Europe, particularly France, a country where he has a large fan base; in fact, he himself has said that he "survives" on the European market.

Bullets over Broadway - Inside Beat In truth, the small ensemble of Forbidden Broadway is made up of only four performers and one pianist. One, and perhaps the only, downside to Forbidden Broadway is that some of the jokes may fly right over the heads of those who do not know much about theater and the past and present New York theatrical seasons. Even though you might not completely be in the know about all of the humor presented during Forbidden Broadway's one-and-a-half-hour running time, you will have a good old-fashioned escapist evening just watching four people run around like loonies while lovingly making fun of everything Broadway. www.dailytargum.com /media/paper168/news/2002/09/26/InsideBeat/Bullets.Over.Broadway-282191.shtml   (781 words)

Emanuel Levy : Review - Bullets Over Broadway In his new movie, Bullets Over Broadway, he cast the talented actress Mary Louise Parker and comedian Tracey Ullman in what amounts to cameo roles. Released by Miramax, Bullet Over Broadway is his first independent enterprise away from Tri-Star, but you couldn't tell it from the production values of the movie, as the same collaborators (designer Santo Loquasto, cinematographer Carlo Di Palma, editor Susan Morse) are reliably behind-the-scenes, endowing the film with a beautiful as well as authentic look.

Yes, it's set mostly in New York and has a neurotic, twitchy character, lacking in self-confidence, but Allen doesn't play that part, and this film is not so much a study of one man's neuroses, as of the interactions of different characters and the quirky and funny results of chance happenings. His uncompromising stance is defeated when funding for the play is gained by his producer from prohibition mobster Nick Valenti, on one condition - that his girlfriend Olive Neal (Jennifer Tilly) plays a major role. www.eufs.org.uk /films/bullets_over_broadway.html   (269 words)
