“MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT” IS ONE OF WOODY’S BEST

Woody Allen fans are in for a gigantic treat. His next film, “Magic in the Moonlight “ – due to be released this month, is one of Woody’s greatest triumphs.

Woody has written him some of the best dialog EVER and Colin is hilarious. The movie is WAY more fun than the trailer implies – it renews your faith in intelligent comedy.
