Her brother’s kind of a jerk
The spirits are saints?

Riding on an Amtrak train

Frances Ha
I didn’t see as many movies as I’d like this past month. Just two:
The Interview (2014)
Randall Park steals it,
Though it isn’t that funny.
— Too much James Franco
Frances Ha (2012)
A Gen-Y woman
In New York and then Paris
Grows up — a little
Read January’s haiku movie reviews here.
Boyhood
Internal Affairs (1990)
Cop flick from long ago
It probably felt dated
When it was released
3 Days to Kill (2014)
A dad and killer
Bossed around by a hot chick
Dumb but fun action
Alex Cross (2012)
Guy from “Lost”? Creepy
Tyler Perry – he can act!
So where’s the sequel?
Strange Days (1995)
Before Y2K
Cops, murder, rape, data discs
A fine mess for Fiennes
Pride (2014)
Gays support miners
In Thatcher’s beastly Britain
Wonderful friendships
Selma (2014)
Protests need clear goals,
Strategies, tactics, leaders
— True courage routs hate
Kon-tiki (2012)

Islanders came from Peru
— all on one big raft
Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
Disney wants Poppins
The author has a conflict
With her long dead dad
Boyhood (2014)
Here’s a crushing truth
“I just thought there would be more”
as time marches on
