MATCH POINT for Time Lords

HERE is my belated review for Woody Allen's latest, MATCH POINT. I am a big Woody fan and am happy to say this is one of his better films even if it isn't one of his early funny ones.


I'm also here to herald the arrival of the 10th Doctor Who. For those of us stateside who have been fortunate enough to keep up with the BBC's latest incarnation of the cult series, this latest episode is a relief. Christopher Eccleston (the 9th Doctor) is a hard act to follow especially since the 13 episodes he was in were some of the best of the whole Doctor Who universe (in their writing, acting and special effects). Kudos to series producer Russell T. Davies for the casting of David Tennant as the new time lord. Tennant's mix of absurdist humor, derring do and commanding presence is a return to the Jon Pertwee days (okay, is my geek showing now or what?). He will be a welcome incarnation.

Have a Happy New Year everyone!
