Cinecast #4 - Woody & Woody
This week on Cinecast, a review of Woody Allen's latest "Melinda & Melinda." The film, Allen's 34th as writer and director, is a narrative experiment that tries to resolve an age-old debate: is life comic or tragic? Allen doesn't really come up with any answers, but there is a refreshing intellectual energy to the movie that should please fans of his older -- better -- films. All that, plus this week's Top 5 -- our lists of the best Woody Allen movies of all-time. We had promised an interview with Allen "expert" Gerald Sim from the University of Iowa, but due to some audio issues -- (hey, it was our first stab with the phone tap) -- we weren't able to include it in the podcast. Please look for a transcript of the interview here later this week. Our thanks and apologies to Gerald.

Hey, great show!
I wanted to check out the woody allen movies in your top 5 lists, and wondered whether in the future you could post the lists in the blogs, so that people don't have to relisten to the podcast?
Thanks, and keep up the good work,
Michael
Hey Michael,
Thanks for listening. There's actually a Top 5 Archive link in the right rail of this site: http://www.cinecastshow.com/top5.htm
Say, did that phone transcript you mention ever get put online?
On the same archive page as the Woody show -- http://www.cinecastshow.com/archive/2005_03_27_cinecast_archive.html
