Review in Haiku

A pawn enters play

Boring writing assignment

Becomes tight thriller.

A perplexing man

A range of annoyances

A serious man.

Remember that song

Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon?

Yeah, that’s this movie.

It’s so obvious

You’re not blind-sided at all

And yet, best actress?

Funnier From Hell

More action and slow motion

Yet somehow more bland.

Take Jurassic Park

Swap dinosaurs for crazies

Get Shutter Island.

A washed up crooner

Bridges good at being Bad

And he gets better.

Green card comedy

With a boss/assistant twist

With the same result.

Man loves explosions

All that makes him feel alive

And will, til he dies.

At home on a plane

Clooney finds a co-pilot

Misses connection.

A man left alone

Set in a time of alone

Does not die alone.

Trouble in tunnels

Balding Travolta insane

Insane, yet boring.

Where to start a life?

Check with friends and family

Sam Mendes goes small.

Cameron spends money

And gets dazzling results

Back with aliens.

Sometimes cleaning blood

Can brighten a crappy life

Put in perspective.
