Micro Movie Reviews Round Up - Chapter 1 w/ Deal, Stone, Lovers, + more

Posted by Dave on Thursday, July 16, 2009

The first round of Twitter-sized “Micro Movie Reviews” are in! In this daunting challenge, we send DVDs to a hand-picked squad of Twitterers to diligently watch and offer their strident opinion in 140 characters - well less cause it nice to have a link to the MovieSet “sitelet” for the movie when possible.

But what can you say about a movie in less than a gross of characters? Turns out quite a bit. Take a look at these practitioners of the art of the haiku-sized review for movies ranging from family popcorn fantasies to Scottish capers to Deuce gone bad.

Stone of Destiny

blainecreates Stone of Destiny was interesting because it was based on a true story but doesn’t deliver much tension or twists. http://ow.ly/gJiR - #

shermanscorner @movieset Stone of Destiny/an enjoyable true-story (Ian Hamilton)-caper Solid acting and direction. http://ow.ly/hnw1m #MMR - #

Big Stan

thatcraigguy @movieset - Big Stan is the new Rob Schneider vehicle. Rare to see a movie dedicated to making fun of rape. Oh Deuce you’ve hit a new low… #

Inkheart

mariab76 @MovieSet Inkheart starts off slow but the ending has lots of good action. My niece and nephew quite enjoyed it. Good acting w all star cast - #

The Deal

shermanscorner The Deal disappoints. William H. Macy stars and co-wrote this Hollywood satire that plays like a student film. Weak. #MMR - #

{More reviews after the break}

Two Lovers

Annenigma55 TWO LOVERS Voyeuristic feel,follows unwell & interesting characters. Joaquin P. genuinely disturbed, acting A+. http://ow.ly/hcTt @movieset - #
