5.0 out of 5 stars Quit complaining., October 21, 2001

By	Green Arrow (Most Excellent, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

I can't believe all the bad reviews this has gotten. This box doesn't hold a bad film, yet there's so many complaints about it not holding any comedy or being to serious or something. First off, "Another Woman" and "September" aren't really funny at all, but hey, they excellent anyways. And the other three, "Crimes and Misdemeanors", "Alice", and "Shadows and Fog", are essentially comedies! Sure, "Crimes..." has a deathly serious side, but really... does that matter? "Alice" is one of those movies you can't really have any complaints about. It's really fun to watch. The weakest film here is, true, "Shadows and Fog", but that does not by any circumstances mean it is a bad film. It has excellent cinematography and it is really funny at times. Definitely worth seeing, even if it is one of Woody's weakest films. All in all, you pretty much get the best of Woody Allen here. Really funny, funny and whimsical, funny and sad, deathly serious, and more deathly serious. A fine box set. -Randy

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Allen set, June 7, 2001

By	Joren R. Cain (Valdosta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These are 5 great movies from a wonderful director, and are finally available on DVD. These are in direct contrast with the first collection, his "early, funny ones," however. Both "Another Woman" and "September" are serious dramas, and any humor in the other three are tempered with deeper dramatic elements, which has become his trademark style. These films represent a mature Woody Allen, and are highly recommended to anyone who is interested in his more serious side. All the films are great, despite what anyone says about "Shadows and Fog," which seems to generally be underappreciated. As for his films in the early 80's ("Hannah," "Zelig," "Sex Comedy," "Broadway Danny Rose," "Purple Rose," and whatever else I'm missing), I think those are in set 3, to be released next. The entire set is not to be missed. Also recommended is the book "Woody Allen on Woody Allen" in which he discusses each of his films through "Manhattan Murder Mystery."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Genius Emerges, September 15, 2007

By	David Schweizer "Almawood" (Kansas, USA) - See all my reviews

We have two masterpieces here. The first is "Crimes and Misdemeanors." The second is "Alice." The others are vintage Allen and deserve to be seen, for the first or tenth time. "Crimes" is a brilliant piece, gorgeously well-acted and directed. The cast is superb, probably the best ensemble performance since Cassavetes' films with Gena Rowlands and co. Martin Landau gives one of the most startling performances of the decade, a performance which must have helped give this remarkable talent a second life. But in the end, it is the writing and direction that make this such a deep, moving film. "Alice" has, of course, the incomparable Mia Farrow, who emerges here and in other Allen films as one of the most exciting actresses of our time. They made a great couple. She introduced him to the Upper-East side, grand WASP lifestyle that became his subject matter for the next twenty years. She was his muse. He has never really recovered as a film director from her loss.
