Quick Limerick Reviews: Anonymous, One Day, Fright Night + More

Yeah, I'm rolling out the poetry again...even though I dislike it to no end. Just in case you don't know what a limerick is, here is the buzz:
-There are five lines.
-Lines 1, 2 and 5 all rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with one another, too.
-Lines 1, 2 and 5 have between 7 and 10 syllables in each line.
-Lines 3 and 4 should have between 5 and 7 syllables in each line.
-Ideally, it should be funny (here's hoping).

With these stellar creations that are all about the syllables, I shall be reviewing Anonymous, One Day, Fright Night, Tanner Hall and The Three Musketeers.

Anonymous (2011)

So you think Shakespeare is a fraud?

That sure is a question for the bored.

And hath boring it is

Very pretty, but no fizz

And no apocalypse, thank the lord.

What I got:

One Day (2011)

Is it really that hard to be a Brit?

Or make romance that is romantic?

Good idea, at the time

But just as sweet as a lime

And Anne Hathaway's accent is shit.

What I got:

Fright Night (2011)

Another remake, what a surprise!

Its strange the things that money buys,

There aren't many scares,

Nor is it a funny affair,

But Anton Yelchin is still a cuddly guy.

What I got:

Tanner Hall (2009)

Back when Rooney Mara had long hair

And no dragon tattoos to wear

Being a girl was hard

But it's vision is quite marred

Still, here's the start of Rooney's big career.

What I got:

The Three Musketeers (2011)

A classic novel, the way to go

Just make it work for generation 'whoa'

Stick in some flying boats,

Then it's only fun for goats,

Is it at all cool? Heavens no.

What I got:

What do you think of these movies? Have any poetry to share about them?

Quick Limerick Reviews: Jane Eyre, Footloose, Super + more

Okay, so I'm no poet. I loathe poetry. Well, the poetry you have to write at school filled with metaphors and similies and crap like that...yeah, I don't like it. However, I have tried my hand at poetry on the blog in the past, and it was quite a hit. So, to clear up a few movies that I'd like to get some recognition on the blog but can't be bothered doing a full review on, I've decided to review them via limerick, a poetry technique we learn in our fourth year of school (I think) here. What's a limerick, you ask? Well, in case you don't know, it is like an extended haiku: it is all about the syllables. Here are the basic rules:
-There are five lines.
-Lines 1, 2 and 5 all rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with one another, too.
-Lines 1, 2 and 5 have between 7 and 10 syllables in each line.
-Lines 3 and 4 should have between 5 and 7 syllables in each line.
-Ideally, it should be funny (here's hoping).
I shall be reviewing Jane Eyre (2011), Footloose (2011), Super, Texas Killing Fields, What's Your Number?, and Chalet Girl. Here goes...(remember to remind yourselves of the new rating system here)

Jane Eyre (2011)

Charlotte Bronte's book Jane Eyre

A book that film adapters never fear

Has a fresh re-run

That's stylish and handsome

All without revealing Fassy's man gear.

What I got:

Footloose (2011)

A town where dancing is still outlawed?

MTV thinks that will still strike a chord

Add in some hip-hop shakin'

Take out Kevin Bacon

...Wait, why did this need to be restored?

What I got:

Super (2010)

Yeah, this is just like Kick-Ass

It just didn't move as fast

Instead, it was really dark

I mean like really dark

But my oh my, it's darkness was a blast.

What I got:

Texas Killing Fields (2011)

One of the many films with Jess Chastain

And where Worthington's 'accent' is a pain

It's gothic and bleak

Not really my cup of tea

BUT OMG JESSICA CHASTAIN!

What I got:

What's Your Number? (2011)

Okay, I'm not going to pretend,

That this rom-com was my friend.

Entertaining, yes

But one huge cliché mess

Oh, she sleeps with Chris Evans in the end.

What I got:

Chalet Girl (2011)

I always find the Brits quite funny

And Felicity Jones is sweet like honey

She is the saving grace

Nothing else falls into place

I do wish that I was a ski-bunny.

What I got:

What do you think of these films? Got any limericks of your own?
