Six Word Reviews

Back to my old ways already.

(500) Days of Summer: Unapologetically clever, bittersweet, and heartbreakingly true.

2001: A Space Odyssey: I'm sorry, I fell asleep. Repeatedly.

Being John Malkovich: Malkovich Malkovich. Malkovich? Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich!

Bonnie and Clyde (1967): So much better than Public Enemies.

The Brothers Bloom: Life is but a long con.

Dial M for Murder:
Palpable narrative tension is Hitchcock's trademark.

Dog Day Afternoon:
Never knew this was a comedy.

Domino:
What was the point of this?

Is Anybody There?:
Let's care more about old folks.

The Maiden Heist: Walken, Freeman, Macy (nude). Lame movie.

Network: This gets more relevant every year.

Public Enemies: Precious hours you won't get back.

Revolver: You're not that clever, Guy Ritchie.

Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother:
More like Gene Wilder's lamer movie.

Spies Like Us: This movie is no Three Amigos.

Strange Brew: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern drank my beer.

State of Play: Almost as good as BBC's original.

This Hoffman guy is going places.

The TV Set:
Showbiz is an ouroborous of turds.

The Zero Effect:
Bill Pullman? Best sociopathic detective ever.
