One Sentence Film Reviews
As you can see, I am feeling much better now. I’ve been on antibiotics for 48 hours and my throat appears to be less red. I’m definitely in a great deal less pain and am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow after being bed ridden for the last few days. Onto the point of this entry-
Over the holidays I saw a ton of films. Unfortunately I don’t have much time to review them all adequately but I will try my best to sum up what is, in my humble opinion, the entire gist in one sentence (or maybe two! I’m verbose by nature and I don’t like to be boxed in!)
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE: Robyn Hitchcock should have had more lines.
INTERMISSION: I liked Cillian better as a drag queen but nice use of Ron Sexmith songs.
SHAUN OF THE DEAD: Dawn? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in the Office(uk)! Oh and your character is a flake as well, huh? You are so gonna get eaten by zombies. (Sorry that one went a little too long)
THE SQUID AND THE WHALE: What? No one knew that Pink Floyd had written “Hey You” for that long????
THE GIRL IN THE CAFE: Bill Nighy is going to end poverty in Africa….just as soon as he finishes singing, “Christmas is all around.”
MELINDA AND MELINDA: Woah that psycho Melinda was pretty scary…INCONCEIVABLE. Okay..just had to say that because Wallace Shawn was in it.
HOMECOMING (Showtime Masters of Horror series): Where else can you see zombie Iraq war vets attacking what would obviously be Karl Rove?
KINSEY: Jim? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in the Office (us)! Um…you should seriously know about that already…maybe Pam is better off with Roy. (How scary is it that basic stuff wasn’t known not that long ago even by gynecologists?)
HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT: Oh Amelie how could you turn into such a pscho girl?? And you’re friend David is way cuter than that married doctor anyways. Apparently, erotomania doesn’t just cloud your thinking and rationality but it also clouds your vision!
