Blue Jasmine–Mick’s take

OK, you all know by now that Mick LaSalle is my favorite movie critic, and that Woody Allen is a director/writer whom I admire with unfeigned reverence.   Add to that mix a main ingredient of Cate Blanchett (who has been in my top 3 actresses for ages), and throw in a little Alec Baldwin in his evolved persona, and you’ve got the makings of  something, delectable, if not jaw-dropping.  Yep, it is actually being served up for you in theaters across the land right now:  “Blue Jasmine.”  Check out Mick’s orgasmic review right here and then get in line immediately.  I can hardly wait.
