I use my special word and they ask me out for tea

It took me a while to get into it, but I did like Matchpoint, the latest Woody Allen picture. It was cool and distant, quite unlike Allen movies, also quite different in locale, London. The feel is like Hitchcock doing Highsmith (less the gay undertones.) It is a rather dark picture with strong emphasis on the way chance and luck drive our lives. I think one of the points of the movie is that we have to take advantage of what luck brings our way. This is a depature for Allen as it is a thriller, and I thought he did an excellent job of setting up stressful situations. It is slow to develop and is probably not for everyone.
