Movie review - "Bullets over Broadway" (1994) ****

 Lots of fun. One of Allen's best scripts - I wish he'd work with Doug McGrath again - and a superb cast, including John Cusack (pretentious Greenwich Village artiste), Diane Weist (grand dame of theatre), Chazz Palmenteri (gangster who has a gift for writing), Jennifer Tilly (bimbo... Allen used this trope too many times but she's very funny).

I felt it actually wasn't that well directed - it needed snap and energy but there's these long takes and it felt flabby. That's just my thoughts, anyway.
