Two Four Haiku Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

“Weekend at Bernie’s”
featuring Harrison Ford.
Was great . . . but he’s OLD.

Cate Blanchett: sexy
Russian dominatrix chick
with a bad accent.

I wanted to hate
Shia LaBeuof, but he was
great in this movie.

Karen Allen: great,
if only she were alive.
She played a mummy.

Son of Rambow

A worthwhile movie
about a Sweded movie
. . . and Plymouth Brethren.

A well-written film:
home made movies, kids who smoke,
great 80’s soundtrack.

Iron Man

Thought I would hate it.
It was surprisingly good:
four stars out of five.

Downey and Paltrow
truly made the movie great.
Will watch it again.

Bonus Round: Iron Man T-Shirt

Baby Mama

I like Tina Fey.
And Amy Poehler kicks ass.
But the film was dull.

It really dragged on.
45 minutes too long.
It felt like nine months.

Shutter (2008)

Japanese ghost chick.
Like ‘The Grudge’ with photographs.
New meaning: “dark room.”

A good ghost story.
The Thai version was better.
Now neck cramps scare me.

The Ruins

Why gringoes should not
wander into the jungle:
Red Mayan Death-Vine.

Super sicko deaths.
The four grossest ways to die.
Do not bring your kids.
