BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND…

Because it was such a hit last year, here are the following phrase-length movie reviews which were inspired by my TV writing friend who needs to have his prose similarly short and pithy. And, as a good daughter of the Church, I adopt the new Papal model for movie reviewing.

Cold Mountain – It is as it wasn’t.

Matrix Regurgitated – It isn’t what it was.

Lost in Translation – Atakamo gougi eiga – uh, was.

Pieces of April – Its pieces are better than the sum of its parts was.

Mystic River – It isn’t what everyone is saying it was.

ROTK – It is what it is. [And that is not an opinion…heh heh. Screams of glee!]

The Human Stain – It just shouldn’t have been.

The Station Agent – It is as it is…. for midgets….And train followers.

Monster – It is a good bit of too much of a bad thing.

Seabiscuit – It is a nose short of greatness.

Big Fish – It is very like what is.

Spellbound – It is better than fiction is.

Pirates of the Carribbean – It is Johnny Depp is what it was.

Finding Nemo – It is as good as it gets.

House of Sand and Fog – It is more than people are saying it is.

Peter Pan – It is what it always should have been

The Hulk – It isn’t what Ang Lee really is.

In America – It is much more than cinema in America usually is.

Paycheck – It is not as clever as it thought it was.

Gods and Generals – It is much longer than it was.

Kill Bill – What is it?
