Midnight in Paris

IF “THOR” ISN’T YOUR CUP OF TEA, TRY “MIDNIGHT IN PARIS”

“Midnight in Paris” is probably the best reviewed movie in your multiplex today, so why aren’t people standing in line? Woody Allen is a master a making romantic comedies that, thankfully, are not dumb. They all have intellectual undertones. This is a sweet, sentimental story about a young man’s intense love for a city that takes us to unexpected places and is a feast for the eyes. (By the way, First Lady Carla Bruni’s appearance -above with Owen Wilson – is smart and appealing.) If you would love to be in Paris right now, see this movie because you’ll walk out feeling like you’ve been somewhere special – and you might be hungry for a crepe….

WOODY ALLEN DIRECTED FIRST LADY CARLA BRUNI-SARKOZY WITH GREAT CARE

France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was a nervous nelly on the Paris set of Woody Allen’s new movie and had to repeat her simple scene 35 times! Carla is very excited about appearing in Woody’s film “Midnight in Paris” with Owen Wilson, but she admits she has little acting experience. Carla had a simple cameo appearance – no lines- where she walked out of a Paris grocery store with a baguette. Over and over again, she tried to make the small part special but couldn’t keep her eyes off the camera! Woody was gentle and respectful in his directing – she was surrounded by bodyguards and her husband President Nicolas was watching. Eventually Carla got it right and everyone relaxed.

Woody Allen took a break from filming “Midnight in Paris” (we have a feeling this title will change) to visit with his wife Soon-Yi and his daughters Bechet and Manzie. The movie stars Marion Cotillard, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, and Rachel McAdams, and significantly, the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni Sarkozy. It’s interesting because Woody is probably more popular in France nowadays, than their President Nicolas Sarkozy.
