Gosh, comic shop of my choice, has a naughty habit of putting rather shiny things on the counter to tempt in the impulsive impulse buyer. Like me. So yesterday, I grabbed a copy of Guy Samson’s “Haiku Film Reviews”, a slim volume of Ronseal-like simplicity. I flicked through and was cheerily grabbed by a few of them, so decided to write a few of my own. The films below are chosen from my most recently watched movies as well as whichever ones caught my eye in the wall of DVDs that sits under my window. Writing haiku is fun, I may have to do this again.

It’s 7:30am on a Sunday, my syllable counting may be off. Caveat lector.

The Lives of Others
A guy sits upstairs,
Listening to lower flat.
Oh! The typewriter.

Santa Claus vs The Martians
No Christmas on Mars,
All the children are listless.
Voldar’s moustache rocks.

24 Hour Party People
Meta-Tony Wilson
Talks about himself a bit
And doesn’t get shot.

Control
A story about
Ian Curtis will not end
All that well. Good film.

Now I want to buy
Some Joy Division Albums.
The film’s rather good.

Ultraviolet
Mila Jovovich,
I wonder, “Are you mental?”
The only good line.

Æon Flux
Oh, Charlize Theron.
You may be wrapped in rubber,
But this isn’t great.

Tommy
Ann Margret writhing,
Smeared with beans and chocolate .
There are other scenes?

3 Iron
Delivering menus,
To invisibility,
In 90 minutes.

Shaolin vs Lama
The buddha finger
Will defeat your weaker style.
GO FOR THE ARMPIT!

The Phantom Menace
George, are midichlorians
The worst idea you’ve had yet,
Or are we all wrong?
