Scoop (2006) ****

A Woody Allen project that even though it doesn't play as good as his classics like Annie Hall and Manhattan still gives us a story with a twist that is a breath of fresh air compared to many of the features that are coming out today. A diamond in the rough that doesn't leave you sighing over a cliche that you've seen a thousand times (unless your talking about Woody's acting). Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johanson, and great Ian McShane (who I wish was in the film more) give the film and acting boost.

I can't forget to throw out the fact that Julian Glover, the man that played some of the greatest villains of the 1980's makes an appearance (Empire as General Veers, For Your Eyes Only as Kristatos, and Last Crusade as Walter Donovan).
