The superb acting
And directing deserve a
Better script, one with
Good dialogue and
Character development
Luckily I tend
To have a soft spot
For sci-fi that tries to be
More than just action
Prometheus TRIES,
Very hard, for greatness but
Never quite makes it

The Cabin In The Woods
A lot has been said
About how much you should know
When going to see
This crazy freak show.
Yes there's a cabin, and it's
A giant cliche
But that is the point
So why don't you stay? Come for
The humor, and Joss
Whedony bits, but
Don't be surprised if all your
Expectations are completely and utterly subverted by how he messes with convention.

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
