With Your Permission

Imagine the strife
as you’re beat by your wife.
But Jan maintains silence
‘cause domestic violence
means punches, not kisses,
direct from his missus.
And though he is spurned,
the tables have turned:
It wouldn’t occur to her
he’d try to murder her.

Ploy

Being trapped in an airport hotel
for an unhappy couple is hell.
Parts, it would seem,
were “all just a dream”.
It wasn’t that easy to tell.

Glory to the Filmmaker!

Takeshi Kitano beguiles
As he weaves throughout various styles.
He seeks the ideal,
but finds the surreal,
and leaves us with questioning smiles.

Persepolis

Iran’s revolution Islamic,
political and economic,
was rough and unahppy
for Marjane Satrapi
who wrote the Persepolis comic.

A joy and a true inspiration,
the story befits animation.
Its black and white looks,
direct from the books,
perfect the big screen adaptation.

The Simpsons Movie

Bart cracked wise and Homer D’ohh’d.
A 90-minute episode.
Still, I found it entertaining.
You win this round, Mr. Groening.

This Film is Not Yet Rated

The industry has too much sway
With their “family values” today.
As an artist it sucks.
If there’s too many “fuck"s
You’ll offend the M-P-double-A

The maddest Die Hard sequel yet.
John McClaine! He fights a jet!

Music and Lyrics

I honestly know that I can’t
be expecting too much from Hugh Grant,
But he should just quit
after this piece of piece of shit.
And that is the end of my rant.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Fiennes, the perfect Voldemort,
is evil, dark, and hauntin’.
But scarier is Umbridge when
played by Imelda Staunton.

Spider-Man 3

Though it prob’ly made a killin’
what’s with villain after villain?
Far too many to keep track.
Raimi, don’t become a hack!
It would be a painful shocker,
ending up like Joel Schumacher.
(I am filled with hate for that man
and the way he ruined Batman.)

Ratatouille

Pixar’s best movie by far’s
enough to forgive them for Cars.

The Fountain

Reviews that I read called it shitty;
The critics, it seems they all panned it.
I have to agree, it’s quite pretty.
but still, I don’t quite understand it.

Evan Almighty

The studios constantly sell
us gratuitous sequels from hell.
This modern-day flood
is an unholy dud,
(but it’s still fun to watch Steve Carell)
