I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
"Sounds from a Town I Love" is an American 3-minute short film from October 2001, so this is already over 15 years old and if you hear this month and year, then maybe you remember what happened a month earlier. This is a little tribute movie made by multiple Academy Award winner Woody Allen and he wrote as well as directed these 180 seconds, in which we see and hear several New Yorkers on the phone talking to friends, family etc. about what is going on in their lives right now or in the lives of their beloved ones. I personally thought that some of the segments were fairly interesting and entertaining, not all of them, but I liked the one about a couple that doesn't fit together because of how different they are or the talk about the future of a 3-year-old. It's all to be taken lightly honestly, there is no real drama or depth in here, but that's fine as there was enough drama the previous month. So yeah, Allen is known for his great tributes to cities too, like Midnight in Paris, and this one here is another success from him. Cannot deny I really love his approach to writing and movie-making. Enjoyable outcome we have here. Go see it, especially if you like Woody as much as I do.
This short played on one of the Support New York City telethons that took place shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It's an enjoyable little film involving many people saying funny things on their cell phones in New York. Not only is it funny, but it's Woody's first good film since "Everyone Says I Love You." Look fast for Tony Roberts.
