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.
