MasterChugs Theater: ‘Love Story’

It ain’t February unless Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Or already past the corner. Whatever. I hate calendars and time travel. Here’s a perfect movie to cozy up with a lady. This is called a foolproof plan. It’s Love Story, the 1970 Ali MacGraw/Ryan O’Neal tearjerker vehicle. Considered by many to be one of the most romantic movies of all time, if this doesn’t work for you, nothing will. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘Love Story’

MasterChugs Theater: ‘Annie Hall’

Alvy Singer stands in front of an orangey sort of backdrop and tells us, the movie audience, the joke about two women at a Catskill resort. “The food,” says the first woman, “is terrible.” “Yes,” the second woman agrees, “and the portions are so small.”

This, says Alvy Singer, is just about the way he feels about life. It’s not great—in fact, it’s pretty evenly divided between the horrible and the miserable—but as long as it’s there, he wants more.

In this fashion, Woody Allen introduces us to the particular concerns Annie Hall, a comedy about urban love and incompatibility that finally establishes Woody as one of our most audacious filmmakers, as well as the only American filmmaker who is able to work seriously in the comic mode without being the least bit ponderous.

Okay, so it’s more of I definitely do, but if they’re connected to mint flavoring, then we’re through, you hear me? Anyways, all this month, we’ll be taking a look at some movies that have love as a theme, as we’ve done in previous years past, and along the way, we’ll be bringing back a much requested side feature. The first one up is Harold and Maude, a black comedy hailing from the long ago and far away year of 1971. Hit the jump to find out why you should watch it, especially during this month of looooove.

It’s Love Story, the 1970 Ali MacGraw/Ryan O’Neal tear jerker vehicle. Considered by many to be one of the most romantic movies of all time, if this doesn’t work for you, nothing will.
