Movie Reviews of Radio Days
Movie Review: Radio Days
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite Woody Allen movies. An entertaining film about what seemed to be that wonderful era before the advent of television. Despite the harrowing events (The Great Depression and World War II) of that time, "Radio Days" depicts a seemingly simpler, more innocent and less cynical America and the closeness and craziness of families and communities at that time. It's an autobiographical remembrance by Allen, who directed but does not appear in this movie, that is heartfelt and nostalgic with a fine ensemble cast, including a performance by Mia Farrow (obviously before Soon-yi) that is very much unlike anything I had ever seen her do before or since.Movie Review: Even if you don't like Woody Allen...
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me make this very clear. I am NOT a Woody Allen fan at all, but I LOVE this movie. The humor, the music, the acting... Everything about this movie is first rate. It made me nostalgic for a time I didn't even live through - that's how effective this film is at taking you back to that era of radio. Oh, and I also don't usually like films led by child actors ("Home Alone", shudders), but Seth Green (who was 12 or 13 years old when this was made) was phenomenal. So, even if you, like me, don't much care for Woody Allen films, give this one a try anyway. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.Movie Review: Allen's Best Work of Art Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
In my humble opinion, this is Allen's best work ever. To fully understand this movie, you've got to have a really good sense of humor and be able to laugh at the weird social dynamics that exist in so many extended families, especially those who live under the same roof. Allen's talent for portraying the dark and ironic side of life really shows in this gem. There are far too many good scenes in Radio Days for me to pick a favorite. Simply put, if you enjoy laughing at the tumultuous world of a ten year old mixed with semi-dysfunctional marriages and an "old-maid-to-be", you'll love this film.Movie Review: Wistfully Nostalgic
Summary: 5 Stars
This has become my favorite Woody Allen film over the years.
It has the right blend of pathos, nostalgia and comedy.
If evokes a bygone era in a manner not unlike "A Christmas Story".
The performances by Woody's "stock troup" are all excellent, especially those of Mia Farrow and Julie Kavner.
The music is excellent (unfortunately the soundtrack album for the film does not contain all the songs.)
The audio/video quality and digital transfer of this DVD are all first-rate.
Essential Woody Allen film.
Movie Review: Woody at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
What can i say - this is one of my all time favorite flicks. Woody Allen does any amazing job bringing back New York City in the 1940's. This is pure movie magic and his oratory is brilliant. Let's just remember - this movie is for people with something more than an 8th grade reading level (as all of Woody's movies seem to be). Don't look for special effects or the usual garbage in large budget movies.
This is just pure Woody Allen doing what he does best - fleshing out a good story. Movie's don't get much better than this....
