Woody Allen at the Astor

Today I saw my first two Woody Allen movies, back to back at The Astor. How anyone can acclaim such a neurotic, depressive whinger as a cinematic genius is beyond me. Annie Hall, supposedly his best film, had a few memorable moments, but was on the whole an utterly repulsive movie. Hannah and Her Sisters was only marginally better, though I'm getting the distinct impression that all Woody Allen films are alike.
