I have a huge weakness for "bargain books". Put a clearance sign over a bin of books and I'm there. That weakness has garnered me a few duds, but also an interesting read or two. While strolling through the Dollar Tree (of all places), I came across a little black book entitled, "Four Word Film Reviews." I glanced through, chuckled a little, and determined it was worth a buck.
These little pithy reviews are consistently witty. Here's just a same of the book's offerings:
The Bourne Identity - "One Bourne, many die."
The Dark Knight - "An unbalanced Ledger."
Pirates of the Caribbean - "High-seas dead people."
Saw - "Survival of de-footist."
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings - "Hobbit gains elf-respect."
Now, I'm hooked. I find myself trying to come up with four-word reviews for films I watch. Here are a few of my attempts:
Avengers - "Assembly required."
Thor - "Hammering worlds together."
Green Hornet - "Where's the bug spray?"
It's a great exercise in keeping your writing concise and still complete.
