Thoughts from the Usher Podium: Quickie Haiku Reviews IV

Movies that are part four of an ongoing series - reviewed via haiku. No bull, just soulful prose...


X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

The X-Men series,
At its absolute nadir.
Which does say a lot.
Final Grade: F

Airport '77 (1977)

Airport movies suck!
But this one is silly good.
Watch and be amazed.
Final Grade: C

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015)

Why did they make these?
Oh, because kids are stupid.
Or so they gather.
Final Grade: F

Thunderball (1965)

Competent if droll.
Sean Connery is the man;
The man with the plan.
Final Grade: B-

Bride of Chucky (1998)

Neither funny nor,
Scary nor campy enough.
An unholy mix.
Final Grade: F

Zatoichi the Fugitive (1963)

Fun early color,
pulpy samurai fiction.
Chest of Gold rocks though.
Final Grade: C+

Rocky IV (1985)

Rocky jumps the shark.
Robots, Russians and cheeseball.
Goofy 'til the end.
Final Grade: D-

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)

Metaclorians!
Jar Jar Binks and Anakin,
Oh, God save us all
Final Grade: D-

American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005)

Such reductive fair,
Hasn't aged well at all but,
Can be fun in bits.
Final Grade: D+

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Without a doubt my,
Favorite Harry Potter.
Ed Cullen eats it!
Final Grade: C+
