The Happening

Mark Wahlberg stars while
Shyamalan gets preachy
with gross suicides.

Is it phones?!? Is it
trees!?! Is it crowds?!? Is it bees!?!
What (the hell) is this disease?!?

Iron Man

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

Downey and Paltrow

Will watch it again.

Two Haiku Movie Review: Baby Mama

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.

Two Haiku Movie Review: Shutter

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.

Do not bring your kids.

Be Kind Rewind

Original plot:
Developers are trying
to take our building.

The best parts of the
movie can be found on their
site: “Sweded movies.”

Melonie Diaz,
hottest lips in Hollywood.
I want to “Swede” her.

Save your $10.
Coming to a plane flight near
you
: “Be Kind Rewind.”

“The Orphanage” (El Orfanato)

Haunted orphanage!!
Creepy ghost with a doll mask.
Ghost kids are the worst.

I squealed like a girl.
What’s the Spanish word for “AAAAAAGHHH”?
Almost puked tapas.

Handheld cameras
Half Blair witch, Half Godzilla
All entertaining.

Don’t make my mistake
And sit too close to the screen;
Headaches will ensue.

Two Haiku Movie Review: I Am Legend

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I Am Legend (a.k.a.- “The Omega Man in Black”)

A virus outbreak.
Bad animation zombies.
The Fresh Prince survives.

The Omega Man
meets 28 Days Later.
Typical New York.

Two Haiku Movie Review: Into the Wild

Monday, November 5th, 2007

McCandless was right,
with great quotes and bad music,
about feeling strong.

Every one should,
go into the wild sometime,
but do leave a trail.

Two Haiku Movie Review: The Darjeeling Limited

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

The Darjeeling Limited

Anderson’s 5th film.
Fear and Loathing in Bengal -
high on cough syrup.

The soundtrack is great.
An entertaining movie,
would watch it again.

Two Haiku Movie Review: Resident Evil Extinction

Undead zombie crows.

Great family film.

Two Haiku Movie Review: Shoot ‘Em Up

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Shoot ‘Em Up

A baby, carrots,
and a sh!tload of bullets.
It’s Kung Fu with guns.

Worth watching, but gross.
Somehow during the gunfight
a story broke out.

Two Haiku Movie Review: “The Kingdom” (sneak peek edition)

Friday, September 7th, 2007

The Kingdom - In Theaters September 28, 2007

Two Haiku Movie Review: “Balls of Fury”

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Balls of Fury

Def Leppard soundtrack.

seen all the best parts.

Two Haiku Movie Review: War

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

War

Jet Li cannot act.
I want back those one hundred
minutes of my life.

This is what happens
when you let your personal
trainer
write a film.

Two Haiku Movie Review: The Invasion

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

The Invasion

Nicole Kidman was
perfect for this role because
she married Tom Cruise.

A great metaphor:
Church of Scientology.
“Would you like some tea?”
