Screenwriter Woody Allen
Mia Farrow, Joe Mantegna, William Hurt, Keye Luke, Alec Baldwin - Dir:Woody Allen

When a rich, unhappy housewife visits an acupuncturist to cure her painful back, he offers her potions to heal more than her physical ailments. For 16 years, Alice has remained faithfully wed to her wealthy, inattentive husband. Cooks prepare their dinner; nannies tend to their children. Yet Alice is unhappy and doesn't know why. But one visit to the magical Dr. Yang changes everything.

Alice Tate (Mia Farrow) is a rich Manhattan wife who spends her days shopping, getting pedicures, going to the salon, working out with her personal trainer, and seeing her chiropractor. But when she can't get rid of her back pain, she goes to an Asian herbalist (the wonderful Keye Luke, in his final performance) who gives her special herbs to cure what's really ailing her. Reluctantly, she takes these magical potions, which open up a whole new world for her, releasing her inner self, making her invisible, and allowing her to see dead ex-boyfriends. She begins to regret having given up her career in the theater and considers becoming a writer. Meanwhile, she is getting involved in a serious flirtation with Joe Ruffalo (Joe Mantegna), a divorced saxophone player who is drawn to her, while her very rich, very practical husband, Doug (William Hurt), continues to treat her as not-too-bright window dressing, belittling her and discouraging her attempts to become more independent. But the thought of having an affair terrifies her--and intrigues her. Beautifully photographed by Carlo di Palma, with a wonderful set design by Santo Loquasto, Woody Allen's ALICE is a smart, comic exploration of a woman rediscovering herself, trying to find out what happened to all of her dreams.

Theatrical release: December 1990. Filmed on location in New York City. Woody Allen told Roger Ebert that he was inspired to make this film after a visit to an acupuncturist someone had recommended to him to clear up his sties; the acupuncturist, a favorite with many wealthy Manhattan women, used cat's whiskers as "medicine." "It didn't work at all...the guy was totally fraudulent, but it stayed with me because it was such a funny story." Later he fleshed out the experience, thinking how wonderful it would be if there could be a simple, magical answer to all of a person's problems. Among the many cameos in the film are appearances by James Toback, Elle MacPherson, Judith Ivey, David Spielberg, and Bob Balaban. The soundtrack includes songs performed by Jackie Gleason, Artie Shaw, Erroll Garner, Thelonious Monk, Count Basie, and Liberace, among others. Among the New York sights in the film are the penguin house at the Central Park Zoo, the Big Apple Circus, Times Square, Barbetta restaurant, and Chinatown. James McDaniel, who went on to play Lieutenant Arthur Fancy on NYPD BLUE, has a bit part as a party guest. Dylan O'Sullivan Farrow, Woody and Mia's adopted daughter, plays Kate.

4 stars Found her at last!
My husband and I have seen this movie years ago and loved it. The corky spiritual aspects, the absurd accupuncture elements and the of course ususal Woody Allen's interpersonal relationships' communications go very well here. We are not Woody Allen fans but this movie is great! We are so glad we finally found it. Thanks

Woody Allen is a genius. Eccentric, but most who are a genius usually are. Definitely worth the watch. I rest my case.

David Shayne (John Cusack, in performance his character that of a young Woody Allen) is an idealistic young playwright whose life (and play) is about to be turned upside down as it heads toward Broadway. In order to gain financing for GOD OF OUR FATHERS, Shayne agrees to hire Olive Neal (a wonderfully high-squeaking Jennifer Tilly), the actress/girlfriend of Nick Valenti, a potential backer--who also happens to be a gangster. Unfortunately, the lass proves to be not only talent-free but ditzy to boot, a hindrance since she is supposed ...

DVD $10.15  5 stars Top 500
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS is Woody Allen's most mature, most profound film. Martin Landau plays Judah Rosenthal, a successful ophthalmologist having an affair with Dolores (Anjelica Huston), who is threatening to reveal their relationship unless Judah commits to her and leaves his wife. He admits his sin to Ben (Sam Waterston), a friend, a patient, and a learned rabbi who is losing his eyesight but not his faith. Judah turns to his brother Jack, who is connected to the mob and can make Dolores disappear. Allen plays Cliff Stern, a documentary filmmaker who accepts an assignment to film his pompous, successful brother-in-law, Lester (Alan Alda), a comedy star; both Cliff and Lester fall for Hallie Reed (Mia Farrow), a producer involved in the documentary. Allen the director brings all the characters together in a fabulous mix of comedy and drama, deceit and delight. ...

Purple Rose Of Cairo DVD  (1985) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled

Alice movie DVD
DVD $10.29  Top 500
The film that Woody Allen has said is his favorite of all that he's made, THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO unites the competing tendencies in his work towards realism (be it comic, as in ANNIE HALL, or dramatic, as in INTERIORS) and comedic fantasy (such as SLEEPER or BANANAS). Cecilia (Mia Farrow) lives in New Jersey during the Great Depression, which appropriately describes her mood: she works a dead-end job as a waitress that supports her and her abusive, deadbeat husband Monk (Danny Aiello). Her only release is at the cinema, where she repeatedly goes to see a trite romantic adventure called "The Purple Rose of Cairo." But when Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), the lead character of the film, steps off the screen and falls in love with her, Cecilia has to deal with the disjoint between her own life and the glamorous world on the screen. Although the film begins realistically--there is close attention paid to period setting and costuming--the conceit of a film character emerging from the screen is one Allen would rarely use except in his ...

RADIO DAYS is Woody Allen's charming, nostalgic, very funny love letter to growing up in 1940s Brooklyn during the golden age of radio. The setting is the close-knit working-class neighborhood of Rockaway, New York, where a warm, crazy, sprawling Jewish family lives, sharing their happiness as well as their disappointments. The youngest member of the family, Joe (Seth Green, of television's BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER), dreams of the glamour and excitement of Manhattan conjured up by the radio programs he and his family listen raptly to each night. Presented in a tapestry of interlocking vignettes, RADIO DAYS weaves tales of everyday family life with glimpses of the glittering--and not so glittering--world of established and aspiring radio celebrities. Allen makes the radio the film's central figure, taking its place as communicator to the world, existing almost as another member of the family. Allen and director of photography Carlo DiPalma capture ...

In this surreal pastiche of television-age nostalgia, sprung from the perpetually prepubescent mind of Paul Reubens, Pee-Wee and his friends celebrate Christmas in all kinds of unique, fun, and creative ways in a holiday special unlike any other. The wacky and outrageous Pee-Wee (Paul Reubens) has made a list for Santa; unfortunately it's so long that if he gets everything he wants, there won't be anything left over for the other children on Santa's route! Pee-Wee learns the true meaning of the Christmas spirit when he learns to share, and along the way he is visited by a bevy of celebrity stars, including Whoopi Goldberg, Frankie Avalon, Joan Rivers, Charo, Grace Jones, Annette Funicello, Magic Johnson, K.D. Lang, Zsa Zsa Gabore, and Little Richard. This Christmas classic is fun for the whole family, with all the cleverness and charm of ...

DVD $9.79  3 stars
Stephen Gaghan, who won an Oscar for best screenplay for TRAFFIC, makes his directorial debut with SYRIANA, an espionage thriller set in the Middle East. George Clooney stars as Bob Barnes, a longtime CIA agent preparing to slow down his life and spend more time with his teenage son (Max Minghella). But his last secret mission, getting rid of Prince Nasir (Alexander Siddig), turns out to be more complicated than he imagined, placing him in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy involving government corruption, oil, and international terrorism. Matt Damon, who starred with Clooney in OCEAN'S ELEVEN and OCEAN'S TWELVE (and made a cameo in Clooney's CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND, which was also about spies and conspiracies), plays Bryan Woodman, an energy executive whose ethics become vulnerable after the horrific loss of one of his sons. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., lawyers Bennett Holiday (Jeffrey Wright) and Dean Whiting (Christopher Plummer) also must choose between the government's special interests and what's best for the world (as well as their own special interests). Gaghan gives SYRIANA a documentary-like feel, using handheld cameras and shooting on location, adding to the believability of the complex plot. To heighten the realism, Clooney learned to speak Arabic and even put on 30 pounds for the role. A fast-paced, heart-pounding, ...
