Rhyming Reviews

This is probably a terrible idea (not to mention kinda lame) and I have no idea if it will turn into a running feature, but I wanted an outlet for posting quick reviews of movies that I've seen lately that aren't new releases. I have an unspoken rule I've given myself that only new releases will get the "full review" treatment, and I didn't want to continue to steal other people's gimmicks for rapid reviews (haikus, one minute reviews, 10 words, etc), so I've come up with my own gimmick. Why rhyming, you might ask? I might ask, too, as I'm not exactly a songwriter. Well, why the hell not, I say. Hell, I'll even make them limericks.

Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
Getting hungry, Harold and Kumar set out
"To White Castle, we'll go!" they did shout
Smoking weed all day
Pretty funny along the way
Though they might've taken another route.

Fletch's Film Rating:

"Darn tootin!"


Hellboy
Unleash the chaos gods they yell
As Nazis release a demon from hell
He rarely gets bruised
Selma Blair's underused
And Abe Sapien lives in a cell.

Fletch's Film Rating:

"Darn tootin!"


Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Five Brits and an ex-pat make haste
As they scurry all over the place
Searching for a mystical cup
You'll laugh 'till you throw up
Galahad, of course, remains chaste

Fletch's Film Rating:

"You're the best...around!"

Yup! White Castle was surprisingly really funny. I didn't expect much going into it and found myself highly entertained. I loved the Neil Patrick Harris stuff.

Oh, and the limerick thing is cool :P

Ok, yeah, that is pretty entertaining. I now require more limericks. MORE LIMERICKS, I SAY!
