Given the current trend (2 threads) dedicated to movie reviews, I thought I'd give a couple of movies I've seen recently. Jumping from my long-winded-get-to-the-point-eventually style, I present 3 haiku's.

Baby Does Get Borned!

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

You Can Not Escape
The Violence Over The Land
Give Those Men Oscars

Why is there no more babies?

No, not really a remake. Not a remake at all, in fact. An homage at best.
Check it out anyway, it's awesome.

Haikus are easy:
Five; seven; five; a season.
Don't forget that bit.

(A haiku has to reference a season to be a 'proper' haiku. This can be most easily achieved by adding 'in spring' somewhere)
