How to write dialogue, according to Magic in the Moonlight:
James: "Hello you stupid fool, my name is James. I think everyone to be below me. That's probably why I said stupid fool, just now."
Richard: "Yes, I think it may well be. I believe in God."
James: "I don't believe in God. We are good friends."
Richard: "The best of friends."
James: "So close."
Richard: "I remember when we met. Allow me to explain this in great detail for no reason, as I am, you know, your best friend."
James: "I don't believe in God."
Richard: "And you're a genius."
James: "I am a genius."
Richard: "My genius best friend."
James: "If only I could fall truly in love… -
I was going to give this a lower rating but then Colin Firth turned around in my chair

Magic in the Moonlight is a bit like having lunch with your ageing parents: strained, overly familiar, sometimes amusing but seldom genuinely funny — you count the minutes until it’s over only to spend the rest of the day wishing that it had never ended. A quintessential “late” work from a filmmaker who has, in his waining and controversial years, become less of an artist than he is an institution, this new one finds Woody Allen effortlessly regurgitating his most familiar modes and tropes with such élan that the movie’s mediocrity ends up being its greatest charm.

Why every single character in Woody Allen's movies has to talk exactly like Woody Allen is something nobody has been able to explain to me.

Woody Allen is still grappling with the meaning of life and drawing the same miserable conclusions in his frothy new comedy, this time on the picturesque French Riviera.
Colin Firth is a self-impressed misanthrope who travels to the home of a wealthy, recently bereaved family to debunk a pretty young psychic (Emma Stone) whom the family believes is in communion with spirits. He is both disturbed and encouraged to discover he cannot find an explanation for Stone's apparent gifts; disturbed because it defies everything his experience of the world has thus far led him to believe, and encouraged because it might suggest there is more to life than empty, cosmic coincidence. So alarmed is he by this personal discovery he…

A ranking of things that happened on this trip to the movies from most entertaining to least:
1. Listened to Comedy Bang Bang on the way to the movies
2. Watching an 80 year old man ask for his money back because he hated this movie
3. Bought Speed Racer and Out of Sight on blu-ray
4. Ate Subway
5. Bought juice at Wal-Mart
6. Watched Magic in the Moonlight -
“She won’t fool me.”
Woody Allen is a talented writer who simply never stops working. Every year we get a new film from him and of course that means that his films are not all going to be Award worthy. In that sense Magic in the Moonlight might be disappointing because it’s not going to win any award, but I still found it to be a charming and light hearted film. I’ve actually enjoyed all of his recent films although they really never blow me away (with the exception of Midnight in Paris which is my all time favorite Woody Allen film). I have a fun time with the dialogue and the characters he creates, although I know most of…
