Am I THAT neurotic?

Well I finally won my battle with Blockbuster and they gave me a copy of Annie Hall to watch. And eh.

Now don't get me wrong hands-down one of the most unique and interestingly layered flicks I've perhaps ever seen. With that being said I was quite unsure how the two lovers managed to make it through the entire flick without their combating neuroses exploding. Really this is an honest story and a solid look at life and the defining relationship in one's life. I'm a huge fan of talking straight on to the camera and breaking down the fourth wall so I was very pleased with that feature throughout the frames. While its flash forwards and backs were more masterfully handled than an episode of LOST I just couldn't get over the characters personalities. They went from believable quirky slight neurotics to a level where I really didn't care what happened to them either way as long as they stopped talking.

Overall an amazing Woody Allen arguably still his best and still one of the best/most honest relationship movies. Plus it was a super treat to see a SUPER young Diane Keaton & Christopher Walken (Woody Allen still squirrel-ly and a bit creepy hmmm)!!!!! Absolutely worth a watch as long as you realize the hour and a half can seem like a long time if you are not as neurotic as the characters.

Happy Birthday America <3
