Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great Allen set
Review: These are 5 great movies from a wonderful director, and are finally available on DVD. These are in direct contrast with the first collection, his "early, funny ones," however. Both "Another Woman" and "September" are serious dramas, and any humor in the other three are tempered with deeper dramatic elements, which has become his trademark style. These films represent a mature Woody Allen, and are highly recommended to anyone who is interested in his more serious side. All the films are great, despite what anyone says about "Shadows and Fog," which seems to generally be underappreciated. As for his films in the early 80's ("Hannah," "Zelig," "Sex Comedy," "Broadway Danny Rose," "Purple Rose," and whatever else I'm missing), I think those are in set 3, to be released next. The entire set is not to be missed. Also recommended is the book "Woody Allen on Woody Allen" in which he discusses each of his films through "Manhattan Murder Mystery."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great selection of movies!
Review: This box is a good collection of some of the most beautifull films of W. Allen. This features some of the best directions of melodramatic films of W. Allen.

If you are a fan of Woody A. buy it now. If you are one of those very few who never saw a film of Woody Allen, buy one of the films not on this box. You will be back later to buy the box. Trust me.

Summary: What is this complete and utter insanity?!?!
Review: What is this complete and utter insanity?!?! This "Set 2" was supposed to include Woody Allen's VERY best "little" film "Broadway Danny Rose"!!! "Shadows and Fog" and no "Broadway Danny Rose"?? "Shadows and Fog" is an excruciating waste of time. "September"? "Another Woman"? "Alice"? And no "Broadway Danny Rose"? The only picture worth bothering with in this "Set 2" is "Crimes and Misdemeanors" which is not only one of Allen's most brilliant movies, but just generally brilliant. What is the deal? What is the problem? Where is "Broadway Danny Rose"??

Summary: 4 stars due to "Crimes and Misdemeanors"
Review: __________________

"Crimes and Misdemeanors" is the only reason to get this box, so get just that movie instead. Mia Farrow's best performance is in "Crimes and Misdemeanors", which is probably Woody's best film. It would be anyone else's. The rest of these are none too good. I can't believe that the excellent "Husbands and Wives" wasn't included here, since it is one of those starring the undertalented Farrow, and that other chaff such as "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy" was likewise excluded. When will we get a box including "Zelig", or even "Play It Again Sam"? This collection makes little sense.
