The Curse of the Jade Scorpion Review |

by Mark R. Leeper (Rating: 4/10) |
CAPSULE: This film is more interesting for its nostalgia value
than for actual story values. That value is certainly better
than any comic value it might have. Woody Allen writes,
directs, and stars in a whimsical B film of a style that...more |

Before you read my review, you gotta know that I love Woody Allen. This is a
very important note because Allen's films are generally an acquired taste and

place in the 1930s, almost...more |
