		Hollywood Park, which over the previous five years had slipped from a daily average of 30,217 to 24,930 in 1979, needed something unique to catch the fans' attention and put it back on top.
		Officials for Churchill Downs Inc., which bought Hollywood Park for $140 million in 1999, won't comment, but it is widely believed requests for proposals have been sent to major companies that may have an interest in developing the track's 240 acres.
		In 1981, Hollywood Park was given CHRB approval for a fall meeting that put the squeeze on Los Alamitos, forcing it to run at night.

	Weekend: Hooray for 'Hollywood Ending'
		Hollywood Ending is his most satisfying pure comedy since Broadway Danny Rose, and that's been a long, long time.
		The first half of Hollywood Ending is filled with potshots at Tinsel Town culture, some of which may require a subscription to Variety to understand.
		Oddly enough, the ending of Hollywood Ending gives Allen problems, with a redemptive visit to Val's punk-rock son (a dated reference showing Allen's age) and a final twist bringing closure to Val's comeback attempt.

	Leoni Online: Hollywood Ending Review
		In a gruesome way, "Hollywood Ending" is evocative of Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut," which felt like a movie made by a man who hadn't been outside in 30 years.
		"Hollywood Ending" is one of the few Allen pictures that brings to mind the Weimar Republic vigor of Billy Wilder, and it starts off feeling like a classic Wilder film skirting the difference between amorality and immorality; unfortunately it ends up as one of the sweaty flops that ended Wilder's career.
		"Hollywood Ending" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned) for the kind of mocking, self-denigrating sexual innuendo and drug jokes that are standard in Woody Allen comedies.

	Boxoffice Magazine [HOLLYWOOD ENDING Film Review] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Hollywood Ending" is content to stay in the genre of farce, and that is, overall, the film's weakness.
		Allen is unable to sustain the comedic pace, and in eschewing overt, satiric bite, the film moves, somewhat unsuccessfully, between slapstick and sentimentality.
		The revelation of Val's blindness is a somewhat maudlin letdown, and the jabs at Hollywood are as cutting as Charmin toilet paper.

	Hollywood Ending
		In Hollywood Ending, it's the thirty-six year old Tea Leoni and the thirty-three year old Debra Messing (although this romance is clearly based on Messing using Allen's character to advance her career and thus is plausible).
		See in Hollywood Ending, Woody plays Val Waxman, a washed-up movie director and he is the angriest, most bitter character Woody Allen's ever played.
		If Hollywood Ending was a different Woody Allen film this scene could have been tweaked with just a few tiny, tiny adjustments into a shattering dramatic scene.

	Hollywood Ending Movie Review/Modamag.com
		"Hollywood Ending," the filmmaker’s 33rd feature, is far from his worst film, but represents probably some of the biggest miscalculations of his lengthy and glorious career.
		"Hollywood Ending" comes from the same Woody Allen that once attempted to discover his old celebrity self with 1980’s "Stardust Memories." And while "Ending" isn’t nearly as arty or eloquent as "Memories," there is still that feeling of introspection that Allen always has cooking on the backburner in any of his films.
		There are jabs and left hooks to Hollywood practices and Allen’s own place in the mix in "Ending," and thankfully those asides are muted enough to not get in the way of the story.

	Hollywood Ending (2002)
		Ending isn’t the only Allen flick that aims at the movie industry; he also took some shots at it in 1998’s Celebrity.
		Hollywood Ending appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Ending featured a somewhat unusual palette, as Allen imbued many shots with a golden glow; these usually came during scenes that included Ellie, so it seemed likely he wanted a certain sense of romanticism about them.

	Movie Review - Hollywood Ending - Hollywood Bitchslap
		His latest, Hollywood Ending, is certainly not going to be remembered alongside his definitive works of the 70s and mid-80s, but it comes at a time when Allen certainly couldn’t have done something inferior.
		Hollywood Ending is certainly a fuller movie than Jade Scorpion, although a good 15-20 minute chop (of some of the blind gags) could have benefitted the film greatly.
		This film may have its titular Hollywood Ending, but Allen needs to open his eyes and concentrate once again on what made his films great in the first place.

	Hollywood Ending
		In an ending that is anything but Hollywood, Allen finally sees the dailies that have cost him a cameraman and his producer's perplexity and forges a funny and unexpected path that finds him redeemed by a place that he's brilliantly both poked fun at and embraced at the same time.
		"Hollywood Ending" is a bittersweet mix of the old, funny Woody Allen and the new, smaller-scaled one.
		Woody may not have made a homerun with "Hollywood Ending" but he hits a solid double that may turn out to be a winner.

	Hollywood Ending @ Filmbug
		I actually think that HOLLYWOOD ENDING represents the death of the Woody Allen persona as we have known him: a neurotic schlemiel who nevertheless is cool, reserved, and who nearly always swings and scores with a seemingly endless variety of beautiful and progressively younger leading ladies.
		The final image of HOLLYWOOD ENDING then shows a limousine driving Allen and Leoni away from the camera and into a future that we are to assume involves airports, passports, and snails.
		Looking back a few years later, HOLLYWOOD ENDING now seems to stand as Allen the "auteur" 's full and final admission to all of us that he has gotten older, has changed, and will die, even if the upshot of art is that you live forever in the creativity you leave behind.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Hollywood Ending \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		For whatever reason, "Hollywood Ending" is Woody Allen's loosest-limbed — and therefore, best comedy in many a moon.
		The ending here is predictable, but on whole the film is considerably livelier than Allen's last few works (especially last year's "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion," which saw him at one of his lowest points).
		"Hollywood Ending" is rated PG-13 for scattered use of strong profanity, some drug content (abuse of prescription drugs) and some vulgar sexual talk.

		Allen's "Hollywood Ending" isn't flawless, but it's easily the funniest and most entertaining picture I've seen from the director in several years.
		"Hollywood Ending" isn't going to be remembered as Allen's finest hour, but I have to say it's the funniest and one of the most entertaining films I've seen in 2002.
		Final Thoughts: "Hollywood Ending" didn't get a positive reception at the box office, but I found it to be an entertaining and well-written effort from Allen.

		Woody Allen has been cracking wise about mortality since he was a young man, but Hollywood Ending, the 66-year-old director's 31st feature in 34 years, sees him finally confronting the threat of irrelevancy.
		Hollywood Ending surfaces in a climate where each new Woody opening, even on home turf, no longer imparts the tingle of annual ritual.
		Hollywood Ending confirms that acting has long been a sink-or-swim proposition in Allen's movies.

		"Hollywood Ending" is merely OK. Still, I hope to see it again and perhaps find out that the second impression is stronger than the first.
		At Galaxie Films, a Hollywood studio headed by Hal (Treat Williams), the big shots and their flunkeys are discussing their next production, "The City that Never Sleeps," a remake of a 1940s film noir set in New York.
		Indeed, the director of photography chosen for "Hollywood Ending" is Wedigo Von Schultzendorff, an unknown German who must have the longest name among camera people.

	Woody Allen's latest Hollywood Ending, written and directed by Woody Allen
		Hollywood Ending, Woody Allen’s thirty-fourth film as writer/director, is an anti-Hollywood satire revolving around an apparently washed-up New York City filmmaker.
		Hollywood Ending has a few amusing moments, but perhaps a cinematic work was not the proper vehicle for the movie’s script, whose scenes consist largely of Allen one-liners and physical slapstick.
		At the center of Hollywood Ending, and this is a familiar theme, is Allen’s artificial construction of a dichotomy between the supposed cultural apex, New York City, and the cultural wasteland, Los Angeles and the film industry.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Hollywood Ending (2002)
		He has made a comedy that takes a satirical jab at the Hollywood industry when, in fact, it is a dead-on example of the type of dumb filmmaking he is making fun of.
		"Hollywood Ending" is strictly a one-joke movie scarcely populated with any of the edgy and funny dialogue Allen is known for.
		When one of the top Hollywood movie studios, Galaxie Pictures, decides to make a picture about Manhattan called "The City That Never Sleeps," producer Ellie (Tea Leoni) convinces her executive boyfriend, Hal (Treat Williams), that Val would be perfect for the job.

	Hollywood Ending (2002)
		Well, the ending is only a bit of a fairy tale, a Hollywood ending, but the last scenes are in themselves symptomatic of what is so frustrating about this film.
		Hollywood Ending is definitely not the start of a comeback trail for the Woodman, much as I would like to believe it.
		The slip-ups of the past few years, the bad habits that have been creeping up on him, are present in this movie in all their glory: the repetitiveness, the fact that a good little idea is beaten to death, and the uninspired cinematography (even though they had a foreign guy do it!).

		"Hollywood Ending" is nevertheless a Woody Allen comedy.
		Help is on its way from Hollywood, where his ex-wife, movie exec Ellie (Tea Leoni), is pumping for him to make a comeback with the remake an old film-noir movie.
		Her discovery of Val's secret is poorly set up, where, because of her perfume (we later learn), he mistakes her for Ellie and essentially spills the beans.

	Hollywood Ending
		It is a condemnation all the more hollow for the fact that it appears for the entire world that Allen is taking his detractors' main complaint to heart and returning to the kind of free comedy genre in which he once so excelled.
		It's no accident that where in Manhattan Diane Keaton was "one Bergman crack away from a punch in the mouth," now in Hollywood Ending, it's all of Woody's own critics receiving a celluloid knuckle-sandwich.
		Yet, because it's Allen, there are enough hilarious lines and trenchant moments in Hollywood Ending (my favourite is a "Who ordered?" in response to a string of invectives delivered in Mandarin) to preclude a complete nor too furious a condemnation: it elicits more of a merely resigned one.

		He is desperate for a comeback, but when he is at last offered a deal--for a $60 million blockbuster--it's from his ex-wife producer, Ellie (Tea Leoni), and her lover, Hal (Treat Williams), the studio head who had stolen Ellie away from Val ten years earlier.
		HOLLYWOOD ENDING is a return to form for Allen.
		HOLLYWOOD ENDING is a funny, poignant look at a filmmaker fighting public and professional scrutiny to craft his art, not unlike what Allen himself has gone through in his career, especially in the 1990s.

		Hollywood Ending feels like the product of an obligation rather than a creative burst.
		Sadly, Hollywood Ending fits seamlessly into Allen's recent spurt of flat efforts, which include titles like Celebrity, Small Time Crooks, and Curse of the Jade Scorpion.

		Here's the crux of the issue: Hollywood studios and record labels want to encrypt their products with an algorithm of some sort, for which every piece of hardware or software that plays or displays their material must have a corresponding electronic key.
		Either Hollywood studios will have to approve which technologies can be used to encode and decode digital broadcasts, or they'll be allowed to construct a list of criteria that technologies must meet to be considered for use.
