Scoop ** 1/2
(First Viewing)

A student journalist, for a college paper, visiting friends in contemporary London happens upon the scoop of a lifetime. Along the investigative trail, she finds magic, murder, mystery - and perhaps love, with a British aristocrat.

This wasn't as good as Allen and Johansson's last effort Match Point (which is my favorite Woody Allen movie). Neither of them shined as much the 2nd time around but it was a good break to see Hugh Jackman in something other than an X-Man film. Not that I have anything against Wolverine but it's just a nice change to see him expand his range as an actor. What I enjoyed most from this film were the scenes on the boat with the Grim Reaper. I haven't really seen too many scenes like that from the afterworld and again it was a nice change for me.
