...quarterback change] was a good move onCoach Murphy's part," Allen said. "Our defense haddone a pretty good job in the first halfcontaining them, and they came out and changedthings up and went all no-huddle in the secondhalf...
From the Manhattan skyline to Woody driveling anxiety to his shrink, the first moments of Antz suggest a film destined to become another prototypical Woody Allen movie. Until Woody (now an ant named "Z") gets off the psychoanalyst's couch and walks into "The Colony." The makers of Antz seem particularly interested in demonstrating their ability to depict water and human movement, disregarding the fact that the plot must make some rather forced detours in order to accommodate these animated showpieces. Though the character of Allen as well as those of the other actors (voiced by Dan Akroyd, Anne Bancroft...
Perhaps Mizrahi ultimately failed at marketing his aesthetic because he was too focused on marketing himself. The designer, who appears in the upcoming Woody Allen film Celebrity, has wanted to pursue a film career ever since his charming turn in Unzipped.

...promisingly, world music. And so on one hand you have woodwind player Don Byron cutting Nu Blaxploitation (Blue Note), an album of overtly political funk and rap; it's not an entirely felicitous concept, but what a treat to hear Byron's clarinet--the fuddy-duddy instrument of Woody Allen!--snaking in and out of dark, fertile electric grooves. On the other hand you have saxophonist David Murray recording his latest album, Creole (Justin Time), in Guadeloupe with local musicians, his bluesy, barrelhouse tenor joyously mixing it up with Caribbean rhythms and melodies--for Africa's musical diaspora, a frequent...
This is the kind of Woody Allen comedy Woody Allen no longer makes, the story of Z (voiced by the master himself), a timid, neurotically oppressed, sexually obsessed, glumly funny urban male who somehow stumbles his way to conditional happiness. That his urb happens to be an ant colony, his beloved (Sharon Stone) its overindulged princess and his nemesis (Gene Hackman) a fascist general mounting a coup adds a nice weird touch to the tale, as does the dark-toned computer animation. Kids may be puzzled by rebellious worker ants chanting Marxist slogans, but their parental guides may welcome...
