Not a "Scoop" at all

Gave this film a shot because of "Match Point" I caught on the plane in the summer. I'm not a fan of Woody Allen, after all. Would really wanna hear from some of his fans telling me what's so good about his movies. Anyway, I expected a so-called light-hearted movie about an almost naive journalist Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson) trying to scoop a big story hinted by a ghost (a dead journalist) about this aristocrat Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman - just love his accent! :)) being a tarot card killer. Woody Allen casted himself as Sid Waterman, a magician. Sondra dragged Sid into this 'investigation' but she turned out giving her heart to the suspect without knowing herself being in jeopardy. The ending was quite disappointing and Allen's role is as annoying as how Sondra felt towards Sid at times. Not surprising and not entertaining at all. I remembered I struggled to choose "Metrosexual" instead of "Scoop" - a total failure.

給我的女朋友們

今天他跟我說：為什麼妳的女朋友們在愛情路上都那麼不幸運？
我跟他說：我也不知道。

正在拍拖的妳們、單身的妳們、失戀的妳們：
妳們都是我的好朋友，
都是充滿優點，也有缺點的平常人。
平常人都經歷這些吧 －
在拍拖的，有時候很甜蜜，有時候不是也常常為他們的自私、遲鈍而感到不開心嗎？
單身的，雖然常常很想嚐戀愛的滋味，但是又不能馬馬虎虎找個張三李四便拍拖嗎？
失戀的，也許常常想到跟他們有多開心的時候，卻不能忘記他們對自己的不解溫柔嗎？
而我呢，我也是平常人，我也有走過這些路。
有一刻，這個他曾令我以為可以付託終身；
那一刻，我很想跟那個他拍個散拖；
有一刻，另一個他令我心痛得每晚都要哭過才睡；
這一刻，我感到一刻的滿足，但是我又擔心下一刻。
我們都是平常人，但是我們每一個人都是與別不同的。而因為大家的不同，要找一個能一起相處的同伴也著實很難。找到了，很怕失去；找不到，可是還有一絲期待。

All's fair in love and war

Be as HYSTERIC as no one can imagine
Be who you really are and who you can potentially be
And be who you are not?

Look at you, how a love-struck woman you've become!
