21 Jump Street

Wow, what a pleasant
Surprise. If it weren't for the
Chemistry between

Tatum and Hill, this
Could have been a complete wreck
Their exuberance

(Along with the sharp
Writing, clever cameos,
And general sense

Of fun) totally
Won me over. It's silly
But somehow, it works.

The Hunger Games

Well, that was intense.
Despite some cheesy effects,
And the condensed plot

Gary Ross pulled off
A great adaptation of
The anti-Twilight

Compromises were
Made for brevity, not the
Heart or characters

Jennifer Lawrence
Tough as nails, carries the film
On sculpted shoulders

A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas (in 2D)

Deck the halls with lots
Of dick jokes, fa la la la
La la la la, sigh

The third Harold and
Kumar movie may be leaps
And bongs better than

Part two, but it still
Lacks the surprising charm of
The original



There's some holiday
Cheer, but you'll laugh a lot more
If your eggnog's spiked.

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
