haha, LOVE!!!
You make me laugh! I am a little behind the times (we haven't had a date night in oh, at least 4 months!) but after your haiku's I look forward to seeing those movies!
Thanks Julie!
If I had known I could have read these haiku to understand the movies, I might have saved myself a good deal of time...
Thanks Adam! Now you know where to look for synopses on next year's nominees.
I love this one -

Thanks Shivam!
Brilliant. Favorites include: 127 Hours and King's Speech.
Thanks for the list. The King's Speech was outstanding.
I find it very interesting that you are so dedicated to these boys and I can tell that they mean the world to you. I hope that I will one day feel such dedication to an organization such as this. It's so great that you are able to send these boys to school and they are getting so much out of their different lives, I am sure. And in class tomorrow, I will be sure to introduce myself to Ozzy. You're right, it was incredibly rude of me. But thanks to that, I now learned about this.
Your haiku writing skills are very impressive, specifically it amazes me how you can get so much meaning out of a total of 17 syllables! Maybe one of these days we should do a haiku writing day in class, it would be very interesting. My favorite haiku out of the ones you listed would definitely be the one referring to Inception. There is too much going on in that movie, and it definitely deserves multiple views. -Paymon Abtahi
Thanks Paymon. A class on haikus? Hmm.... you've got me thinking.
This is really funny, and a good representation of these movies. I especially like the haiku's about the fighter and inception. I think in total I watched that movie 3 times in the theater alone. However, for the fighter "review", I think fails to fully show the whole story. I think it is mostly a story of redemption, on the part of both of the brothers. They both need to come back from something, and prove themselves in a tough situation, and the internal struggle is one of the coolest parts of this movie.
Indeed, you are correct Nick --- only I couldn't be expected (living in the Boston-area at the time) to pass up an opportunity to poke fun at Lowell, Massachusetts.
