We may or may not be getting out of the hospital today. I am waiting on a report. In the meantime, my computer is not able to go online, and thus any writing is the result of impromptu material generated on the screen at the hospital. It is much harder to create material this way.
Given my logistical issues and the notion that brevity is the soul of wit, I introduce a new concept here: one sentence movie reviews.
In this age of high speed high octane fuel paced living, people don't have time to read an informed and well written report on all the films out there that might or might not be worth viewing. Thus, as a public service, I put forth these not quite haiku reviews. Please note, in some cases, I haven't seen the movie.
Wall-E: It takes a robot to save a village.
Finding Nemo: It's the Odyssey for fish.
Star Trek 5, Star Trek TNG: Either Rebellion or Nemesis: If you film it, they will come.
The Greatest Story Ever Told: Well yes, but not by you.
Troy: Orlando Bloom does for Greeks and the people of Illium what he did for elves and pirates.
Beowulf: Not enough mead or Angelina Jolie to satiate fans of either.
Quantum of Solace: Because when people think James Bond, the first thing that comes to mind is a measurement used in physics.
So fire up the microwave and try coming up with your own one sentence movie reviews. It's fun, free and decidedly more creative than what's coming out of Hollywood these days.
Here's hoping Paul and I are back home soon.
