DVD PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n Vicky Cristina Barcelona<\/a><\/strong> (Optimum): A return to form for Woody Allen, after two major misfires (Scoop<\/a> and Cassandra’s Dream<\/a>).<\/p>\n The story involves two American women, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) who spend a summer in Barcelona, where they meet an artist (Javier Bardem) who is attracted to both of them while still enamored of his ex-wife (Penelope Cruz).<\/p>\n Although Hall and Johansson are fine in the two lead roles, it is Bardem and Cruz who give the film an extra flavour with both showing a wonderful light touch for comedy.<\/p>\n
