This blog is about my reactions, evaluations and comments.<\/p>\n<p>I went to see &#8220;Match point&#8221;, the latest Woodie Allen movie. When asked: &#8220;Did you enjoy it?&#8221; I have to be honest and answer: &#8221; No&#8221;. Having said that, I must add that it is an excellent film. It just is not a feel good movie&#8230;it has you squirming in your seat&#8230;the punch line at the end is very effective &#8230; Depending on which person you identify with you go through various emotions&#8230;but none of them is comfortable&#8230;the entire story is a slow slippery slope&#8230;.

It is ludicrous and hysterical.
