There is, for sure, a very twisted side to me. The other side is a nude Brad Pitt riding a unicorn with candy as his genitals.

It was always nice to turn on the television and know David Letterman could summon out of us a few laughs, but now, for me and countless viewers, the funny is gone.

A middle-aged man who treats a 13-year-old girl like an inflatable sex doll, and who then flees justice, is a degenerate and a coward. This is Humbert Humbert, not Nelson Mandela.

The only question right now should be why Roman Polanski fled the United States 32 years ago and denied justice for the child in the first place. He'd pleaded guilty to the crime and ran away like a coward.

If Woody Allen was born in the 80s, is there any doubt that he'd be a Hipster Brooklynite? Of course the thick-rimmed glasses and tight pants would r...

No matter how open I am to 3D -- to what some have referred to as an "immersive experience" -- I still can't get past the glasses. Glasses = gimmick.

Oh, Ruth and Sunda. A lawsuit? Really? Mrs. Zafrin, Sunda is your son's wife and the mother of your grandchildren; a comedian in a long, long line of comedians who poke fun at their mothers-in-law.

Woody Allen redefined the connection between movies and fashion with the iconic Annie Hall . (500) Days of Summer,'s female lead is just as quirky as Allen's.

The comedy of Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles reassures people who already agree with them that their dislike for the South, Christianity, and conservatism are well-founded.

Mark Sanford isn't a man's man, nor is he a ladies' man. He's a very strange man, to be sure. But basically he's a selfish man.

"For women my age, comedic parts are so few and far between. But this humor comes out of the character, she is a stereotype, a cliche, and then you start to see shades."

I won't go so far to classify Whatever Works as A-level Woody Allen, but it's solidly in the high B range -- funny, heartfelt, with hokey jokes and occasionally surprising insights.
