Not being an Owen Wilson fan, despising most of his roles with the exception of Wedding Crashers, I had no intention of seeing this film. It caught my attention while I was flipping channels on one of my movie stations (I think it was on Starz). Wilson is engaged to Rachel McAdams (hey this was the pairing in Wedding Crashers) and they go to Paris with McAdams' parents. McAdams seems to be only interested in shopping for expensive jewelry and putting down Wilson's taste in the finer things of life. …

We've all had those romantic fantasies: Travel back in time to whatever period suits your fancy, hang out with all the dead bigwhigs we learned about in history class, and bask in the eclecticism and excitement of one of history's greatest eras. But rarely is it that those little fantasies take into consideration what the golden gods of the eras we dream about think of them.     Over the last few years, it appears the indie film legend Woody Allen has been presenting filmgoers …

**** out of ****    While watching "Midnight in Paris", I was confronted by a simple question, and that was: why can't more people make movies completely devoid of villains - with the substitution of smaller, less conflicting problems? Woody Allen is the writer and director of this film; and there's a general sense that he must have asked himself the same questions when he approached the script. Here is a film with a complete disregard for who is good and who is bad; there are …

Midnight In Paris is one of my favorite movies I have seen so far this year. Its more than a love story about people, its a love story written to the city of Paris. The fantasy story about a writing meeting his historical heroes in the city of Paris, is witty, intelligent, and one that I would want to see again. I will be waiting in line for the DVD release.    Owen Wilson is the Woody Allen persona. Woody has not always been successful in finding other actors to give his voice …

Owen Wilson stars as Gil, a burned-out Hollywood script writer who's visiting Paris with his fiancée. The couple have very different opinions of Paris and of life in general; she hates the city and wants to hurry back to her Beverly Hills life while he adores Paris and wishes he had lived there in the 1920s. One night, at midnight, Gil's fantasy comes true as he is magically transported to the glittering world of Fitzgerald, Hemmingway, Picasso, and Gertrude Stein.      …

Allen Lets Go
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS   Written and Directed by Woody Allen   Starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard and Michael Sheen       Inez: The studios adore you; you’re in demand. Do you really want to give it all up just to struggle?       Every time I review a Woody Allen movie, it seems I address the same issues time and time again. This is likely because Allen always chooses to tackle the same themes – class, …

'Midnight In Paris' 'Two Jews On Film' Only One Feels The Magic In Woody Allen's New Comedy (Video)
   I know critics are supposed to be objective (if that's even possible) but in the case of Woody Allen's new film, 'Midnight In Paris' it's going to be really hard.  I thought it was one of the most beautiful, original, magical and  romantic films I've seen in a very long time.  It completely grabbed my heart.       The film opens with images of Paris...beautiful, moving images.  The lights of the city, the empty streets, …

   Midnight in Paris crosses lands of opportunity and delusion in real life. It symbolizes the sane journey of one dreamer to fulfill his personal goals. Woody Allen's new film is also a mash-up between Vicky Cristina Barcelona and the baroque epoque if I could say that. Allen loves to describe cities as people and loves to deliver that suitable atmosphere. He throws a goofy writer, a stuck-up snob, a modern spoiled woman, a classy "femme", and a whole diary of artsy figures …

Star Rating:         There is, I’m certain, inherent in most people a nostalgia for a time and a culture they were never a part of. The reason is that they feel somehow disconnected or ill at ease with the present; they don’t like today’s music, or today’s painters, or today’s writers, or today’s movies. Because they believe everything was done better in the past, it becomes the standard for which all new things are measured. Woody …

A magnificent motion picture!
It has been nearly 25 years since I checked out a new Woody Allen film.  I was a huge fan of his work in the late 60's and the 1970's but for the most part Woody kinda lost me after that.  Several weeks ago a friend called me raving about "Midnight In Paris".  He didn't tell me a whole lot about it but assured me that I would love it.  I took the day off today and one of the things on my "to do" list was to check out this flick.  I went to …
