WOODY GOES STRAIGHT TO CABLE
Woody Allen's latest and most controversial movie is going straight to cable TV — and it's certainly not the tepid
Small Time Crooks.
A thoroughly outrageous religious spoof called
Picking Up the Pieces is turning up on Cinemax beginning Friday night, apparently because the producers are having trouble lining up a theatrical run. Nobody is confirming exactly why, but it isn't hard to guess why distributors might have shied away from this combination of magic realism, black comedy — and barbs at organized religion that make last year's hot potato,
Dogma, seem reverent by comparison.
