TWITTER-LENGTH MOVIE REVIEWS


I’m swamped, exhausted, and my computer crashed on Free Comic Book Day. I intended to write full-length reviews for each of these, but I’ll settle for 140 characters (exact Twitter-size) per critique.  

I don’t know what I’ll do when Twitter goes the way of MySpace. I guess I’ll have to stop being lazy and write entire paragraphs again…

 

STRANGE NOTE: Microsoft Word’s spell check recognizes “Steven Spielberg” but not “Martin Scorsese.” Hmmmmmmmmm…

 

AMERICAN VIOLET

This episode of “Law and Order” has plenty of solid performers, but not every true-life event needs to be put on film.

 

FAST AND FURIOUS

Pre-sequel tries to squeeze drama out of the series. Entertaining (CGI) car chases, but the franchise is still in neutral.

 

MEAN STREETS

The intentional comedy is surprising for a crime film. A great chance to see Scorsese on the ground floor, going up.

 

SUPERBAD

If we compiled one of those super-gay EW list, then this would be the #1 teenage comedy of the decade.
