The Three Musketeers

Combine the Princess
Bride with Assassin's Creed 2,
Add every cliche

You can think of, and
Then make it just stunningly
Anachronistic

Add a dash of fun
Casting choices, pour on too
Much bad CGI

Blend thoroughly with
Some downright decent swordplay
And try to enjoy.

Classic Movies I've Somehow Never Seen Until Now Special Edition:
Blues Brothers

Everything about
This movie is great, I wish
I'd seen it sooner

Incredible car
Chases are eclipsed by the
Sharp comedy, which

Is nothing compared
To the musical numbers
And the cameos

You will laugh, you will
Cheer, but most of all, you will
Dance, sing, and feel joy

Drive

Let's put it like this
This : Bourne :: Drive : Fast and Fur'ous
I'll elaborate

An indie movie
At heart, with deliberate
Choices all around

Music, direction,
Casting, jarring violence,
Visceral chases

More thought went into
This than every Michael Bay
Movie ever made.

Captain America

The thing that struck me
While watching this silly and
Campy yet very

Fun movie, was that
Chris Evans REALLY nails it
He's charismatic

Without a hint of
Sarcasm or relying
On comic timing

The movie is worth
Seeing just for that, but lots
Of stuff blows up too

Horrible Bosses

The three titular
Bosses steal the show and make
Up for a lame plot

There are lots of great
Jokes, and good performances
Which keep things going

The direction is
Adequate and nothing will
Surprise you but it's

Worth it just to see
Charlie Day up against a
Vampy Aniston

Friends With Benefits

Yes, these two are friends
Yes, there are some benefits
Also, tons of jokes

And surprisingly
The jokes are mostly solid
Thanks to the two leads

No, it doesn't hold
Up to close scrutiny, so
Sit back, relax, and

Enjoy some funny,
Charming people having
Funny, charming sex

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

You may gasp, you may
Cry, and you will be thrilled by
This final chapter

It is as epic,
Dark, and emotional as
It deserves to be

If you've enjoyed the
Movies up to this point then
You will love part 2

If you haven't then
Why are you watching? Let us
Mourn in peace. Muggle.
