With the intent of making your head spin, this page will be periodically updated with film reviews which follow one of the most important forms of Japanese poetry. Traditional Haiku is a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three unrhymed metrical units of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. The primary goal of our “Haiku Reviews” is to capture the essence of a motion picture or television production in a concise, revealing and fun–to–read manner.
As a Special Bonus Feature we will occasionally post a Haiku Review by a true master of the art—Jerry L. Nelson. This rather randy rapscallion resolutely adheres to the traditional format and thus deserves extra special “haiku kudos” for these efforts.
(The name Jerry L. Nelson may sound familiar. He asked me to state unequivocally that he does not know, nor has he ever met, your wife or daughter or livestock.)
