Bird Watching – Bridesmaids: The Morning After

May 16th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

You would think I had produced the film, with how desperately I wanted Bridesmaids to make a ton of money this past weekend. I’m not a person who makes a point to read box office predictions, and in this case I actively avoided it—any prediction,…

An Appreciation – Annie Hall

May 16th, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Woody Allen begins his film Annie Hall (1977) with a monologue in which he addresses the audience directly. Within this speech, he describes a joke that he first attributes to Groucho Marx, saying that he would never want to be a part of a club…
