Green Lantern (2011)


Special effects? Wow.
Script? Needed another draft.
Star? Dull as (green) grass.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)


Undone by one shot:
Vader, galactic badass,
Cries like a baby

Original review here.

Super 8 (2011)

Imagine "E.T.",
if E.T. was a badass.
All you need to know.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)

Green Lantern nerd? This
portmanteau might be for you.
Rest of us? Bit dull.

True Grit (2010)

The Dude drinks whiskey,
shoots cowboys, gets pushed around
by tough little girl

Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

Where's Legolas?
Jack's missing two dimensions,
Can't carry a film

X-Men: First Class (2011)

Seen one, seen 'em all
They really need a new plot
Beats part 3, at least

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Stoner comedy
If you think degradation
is funny, that is

Thor (2011)

Kind of left feeling
It's more "Avenger" setup
Than actual film

The Green Hornet (2011)

Rogen shows his range,
plays man-child with dad issues.
Kato is cool, though.

Predators (2010)

Stretched credulity:
who could believe that Trejo
would die first?  No one.

The Hebrew Hammer (2003)

It's jewsploitation,
better than it might have been.
Not quite "good", of course.

All-Star Superman (2011)

No real "plot"; succeeds
in Super task of making
Supes interesting

Bottle Rocket (1996)

I stay in hotels:
must rethink relationship
with the maid service

The Gospel of John (2003)

Best Jesus film? It's
entertaining, instructive.
Surprisingly great

Date Night (2010)

When you have four kids
this cuts pretty close to home.
Except weird sex bits.

Ip Man 2 (2010)


Not as mind blowing
as part one, but one great fight.
Yen is amazing.

Tron Legacy (2010)

What if "The Matrix"
had starred The Dude? Now we know.
Part Three? TRON Bowling.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

I thought I might die
when the little girl started
performing striptease

Ed Wood (1994)

Heartfelt biopic
On joys of filmmaking and
angora sweaters
