dad is everywhere.
no-one gets a fucking break,
not even viewers.

Little Miss Sunshine

Self conscious indie.

Family power breaks out.

Touching nonetheless.

Lady in the Water

Meta fairy tale.
Self conscious, random, and dumb.
Coulda, shoulda been.

Batman Begins

Expert origin

Story. First too slow, then fast

Too dark Knight--indeed

Marie Antoinette

Spoiled queen: Stupid girl.

Beauty dissection: Calm, fash.

Not shallow: Too deep.

Tideland

Haiku Fu!

Bad made good by a

Twelve year-old girl's perspective

Wish I could do that.

His legacy? Jeliza's

even better trip.

Arty porno, or

Hardcore hipsters talk, talk, talk.

Whatever. It's sweet.

Deep disappointment.

Homage delivers.

Bang, bang. Kiss, kiss--amputees!

And irony? Duh!

Pretty crime action, and

Anti-Bush allegory

So why so boring?

Catwoman

Purr-fectly awful.

Woman acts like cat (badly).

What have I just seen?

The Fog

Not distracted by

Any horrific acting.

How unfortunate.

from Haiku Master Tony

Serenity

Better than Star Trek.

SF with a Buffy spin.

Joss will own your ass.

Tense, spare, and formal.

What are the wages of blood?

Cronenberg still rocks.
