  Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Romance, NewsstandWhen Woody Allen confirmed the title for his Spanish pic, Midnight in Barcelona, in June, he said that it was his first title, and that it could possibly get changed down the line. Well, now it has been changed, and it leads me to wonder what on earth he could possibly be thinking. While his first

This isn't much of a shocker, but it does jump all the way back to 1967 -- before Marshall McLuhan, or that classy move he made when he fell for his long-time partner's adopted daughter. Allen had made a name for himself as a writer
