Review Haiku

Okay:
I'm, uh, getting a little burnt out on this "movie review" thing. Seriously, I've reviewed like 25 movies over the last month or so. But, I made a commitment to you, dear reader, to review every single film I watched on SAG's dime before I voted for the awards this year and, by gum, I'm gonna do it. So, here're a bunch of 'em, in friendly (and short) haiku format:
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
stretch a fun sitcom
to two hours, add too much hype:
you'll smile, but not laugh.
|
Barbershop
there's much to like here,
but why not cast a real old
black man, not Cedric?
|
Red Dragon
Ed Norton should play
psychos, and men on the edge.
I liked Manhunter.
|
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
a fine book ruined by
poor, lazy storytelling.
my wife fell asleep.
|
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
exactly what I
expected, no more, no less.
a chick flick? I guess.
|
Auto Focus
if Crane's story was
interesting as the cast,
I'd have liked this flick.
|
Road to Perdition
beautiful, but cold.
I liked this film, but promptly
forgot I'd seen it.
|
The Rookie
all family flicks
should be made with as much care.
good script, good acting.
|
Igby Goes Down
Jeff Goldblum gets caught
with his pants down, by Culkin.
what's not to like here?
|
Minority Report
smart science fiction
turns retarded in the last
twenty minutes. crap.
