Three Haisku: Opening Day

No one has lost yet.
The Red Sox and Mariners 
Are tied: for one day

Runs, hits, men on base
Steals, walks, triples, double plays
A poem in stats  

And a favorite from last year:

April’s still chilled air
Is the prefect medium
For a hanging curve. 

The World Champion Philadelphia Phillies opened baseball’s 2009 season yesterday. They lost, 4-1, against the Braves. To quote Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino, “It’s Game 1. Geez, we’ve got 161 left.”

Alice in Wonderland

The word I left the theater with was "boring." Johhny Depp is a marvel, but there was little else there besides a handful of amazing visuals that I'd love to have as posters on my wall, but not as a 108-minute movie.

Edge of Darkness

Mel Gibson does a good angry face, but the British TV series this was based on was sooooo much better.

Crazy Heart

Loved the music, loved Jeff Bridges. But I'm sorry, Maggie Gyllenhaal nearly ruined it for me. Is it too much to ask the Bridges' character might fall for someone in, I don't know, maybe her *thirties* or something?

Sherlock Holmes

Completely ridiculous but oddly endearing. Sorta like Robert Downey Jr.

Fantastic. So simple, so small, but kinda perfect. And very on point with the current economic situation.

The day a filmmaker with an actual story to tell ("unobtanium?!" hilarious.) gets his or hands and this amazing visual technology, that will be something.
