Hehe, nice site with some pretty nifty four word film reviews.

Have you stepped up to the challenge yet Trek?

I was thinking of a few vaguely, but so far haven't got anything too original:

Braindead/Dead Alive: Kick arse for lord

Death Race 2000: Frankenstien Needs Car Insurance [or] Frankenstien likes old people

Barbarella: Jane Fonda Yummy Yummy

The Abominable Dr. Phibes: Vincent Price's Unicorn Kills

I've got one:

Deathrace 2000 remake:
"Please not Paul Anderson"

Here are a few paltry attempts:  (They can be less than four words)

Night of the Living Dead -  "Liver, anyone?"

Friday the 13th - "It's Mommy dearest."

Titanic - "glub, glub, glub, glub"

The Blob - "The blob"

Gotta love some of those Titanic ones, my own one I guess could be:

Titanic: My heart sinks quickly.

Oh and Ash, I totally agree with you on the Death Race 2000 remake...

Some of these sound like haikus of old and professed film scholars.

The Stuff: Ground bubbling parasitic yogurt

Evil Dead 2: Carving up reanimated lovers

Bride of the Monster: Atom age super men

A*P*E: Shoe wearing monkey rampage

Bambi Meets Godzilla: Godzilla approaches nibbling Bambi

Blood Feast: Bloody playmate Egyptian Feast

Cool as Ice: Ice acting like idiot

Robo CHIC: Peter Johnson shlock fest

hey, these are fun!

My personal favourite that I saw on that site was

Seven: Bride's Head Revisited.

And for anyone who not only had to write poems for English class, but poems in haiku, as I did, there is also a section, at the website, with haiku film reviews.

An interesting exercise in film review, but, of course, they do not tell you as much as an in-depth film review would.

Heh, after reading some of Ken's reviews at jabootu, I usually feel no need to even see the movie

For the literary types, a book a minute:

SLAPSTICK (OF ANOTHER KIND) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088134/)
Eloi, eloi, lama sabachtani?

That may be a little harsh, but that movie is bereft of all that is good.

LOL.

It's been a loooong time since I saw this movie, but I'd have to agree; it's a horrible adaptation of a reasonably good Vonnegut novel (Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors, but his work just doesn't generally translate that well into film).
