Haiku Reviews #11: 1992 Edition
Ten reviews for a great movie year.
It's time for another edition of Haiku Reviews. In the past, we've covered famous movie years like 1999 and 1983. This time around, we're watching movies from 1992, a year that isn't a go-to shortcut for cinematic conversation, but had plenty of great films nonetheless.
So crank up some Whitney and enjoy.
Newsies (1992)
I prefer the stage
show, but I still love Newsies
way more than I should
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
Better than the first
because it has Tim Curry.
”It’s a grid system!”
Mr. Baseball (1992)
Tom Selleck is one
of the more believable
fake baseball players
Raising Cain (1992)
Between this, Blow Out,
and Dexter, creepy Lithgow
needs some more credit
The Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Some of the best death
scenes ever committed to
film. Thanks, Michael Mann!
The Bodyguard (1992)
Surely the code of
ethics for bodyguards has
a problem with this.
Ghostwatch (1992)
“We do not want to
give anybody sleepless
nights.” Bullshit, Michael!
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)
Estelle Getty can
do no wrong - I don’t care what
you all think of this!
Consenting Adults (1992)
You are supposed to
feel bad for Kevin Kline, but
that’s impossible
Universal Soldier (1992)
Emmerich flick pitch:
Dolph Lundgren in cryogen,
Jean-Claude Van Hot-Damn!
