Review a movie in one paragraph:
Goldfinger: Obtuse, campy, and overrated. It's got style, but its sheer lack of depth and risible cartoon elements set a new standard... it's the one we love for its style... Or the one we love to hate because of the garbage that emulates it, either in style or plot. Indeed, Auric Goldfinger loves gold for its color and texture... So what does he want to do? Why, nuke Fort Knox so its gold will turn black and icky! Mr. Goldfinger is so bonkers for gold's appearance (not its value, its appearance - he even says as much!), that a more realistic plan for him would be for him to hire a photographer to go and take pictures of Fort Knox's gold so he could use it as a substitute for "Playboy" magazine...


Your turn! :D

1. One sentence.
Aliens: Females fight about child rearing techniques; males get hurt.

Star Wars: Lucas boosts the Arthurian Legend.

Casablanca: Guy finds girl; guy loses girl, but finds bar; guy finds girl again and then loses girl and bar, but finds boy friend.

4. A couple more
White Heat: An Oedipus complex can be a headache.

Citizen Kane/Godfather Series: Charles Foster Kane, "So how's that revenge/ambition thing going (Not that I didn't warn you)?" Michael Corleone, "Don't get me started."

(OK, two sentences, but four movies)

5. An imitation of my old friend, reviewing movies.
Last Tango in Paris: Dude, that's not right.
The Godfather: Dude, there's a horse's head in my bed!
The Graduate: Dude, like I totally did your mom.
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World: Dude, where's my car?
Citizen Kane: Dude, Rosebud! Yeah, Rosebud.
Zorba the Greek: Dude, than man knows how to party!
Stalker (Andrej Tarkovskij): Dude, what just happened?

:P
