Movie Haiku - What is Movie Haiku?

Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry which originated in the 17th Century. A haiku consists of 17 syllables, broken up into three lines of 5, 7 and 5. This format challenges the author to capture the essence of his subject using only a few essential descriptions. I will be reviewing every movie that I see at the cinema using this technique. I shall no doubt also add my own comments alongside the haikus as I'm far too opinionated on movies and won't be able to keep my thoughts to myself! I saw 107 movies at the cinema in 2004 - how many will I see in 2005?
