dowling & hughes : haiku reviews

Dowling:

I don’t remember
anything that happened, but
it was terrific

Hughes:

Actual quality
Delicious popcornsplosions
Craig threatens straightness

…

Hughes:

Great East-West Prius
Hollywood-types hate this one
Boyle is just Midas

Dowling:

Nope. I felt nothing
except manipulation
Camera angles!

…

Dowling:

Sure: Gump meets Big Fish
Black people are mystical
Ormond relegated

Hughes:

I loved Fight Club, but
Unless it’s Palahniuk
Finch = rigor mortis

…

Dowling:

Soulless and tacky
Took three hours of my life
You did not like it

Hughes:

Classic example
Movies need antagonists
To not be boring

…

Hughes:

Again with the score!
Trying to make my heart race
When the two guys talk

Dowling:

Yes indeed, this was
a classic “Ron Howard film”
Plays don’t make good flicks

…

Dowling:

Remake in U.S.
Extract all the elegance
Zac Efron as lead

Hughes:

How did they get the
Guitarist from Bettie Serveert
To look twelve years old?

…

Hughes:

Fresh consequences
Of gratuitous violence
Neo-ekkyklema

Dowling:

Anagnorisis
A true one hit wonder, no?
Let’s get a taco

…

Hughes:

Oxygen Tank Death
Our pounding hearts provided
The musical score

Dowling:

Air gun to the head
No need of John Williams
I know how I feel

(note: written independently of one another)
