The glorious thesis continues, but blog vincit omnia. Here are some, one hopes, witty film reviews in the form of haikus.
Bridget Jones's Diary, dir. by Sharon Maguire
Not-chubby Bridget
spurns sexual harassment
case for haughty swain.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, dir. by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Salty sea captain
woos and wins gem-eyed widow.
Alas, he's a ghost.
Impromptu, dir. by James Lupine
Authoress in pants
allures neurotic pianist,
fights duel when he faints.
My Brilliant Career, dir. Gillian Armstrong
Woman with big hair
rejects pillow-fight accomplice
to write in squalor.
Out of Africa, dir. by Sydney Pollack
Coffee planter has
foreplay in a plane; too bad,
he will not commit.
The Piano, dir. by Jane Campion
Music is the speech
of a mute mail-order bride;
her husband's blood boils.
