Writing succinctly is an art.
It’s why I like to teach Writing and New Media. New media is all about writing many little bits.*
It’s why I’m fascinated with six-word memoirs.
It’s why I’d like to write six-word movie reviews.
“Priest”
Paul Bettany needs a better agent.
“Thor”
Please take off your shirt again.
“Mr. Popper’s Penguins”
I thought it would be worse.
“Super 8”
Like “E.T.,” “Goonies?” You’ll like this.
“The Hangover Part II”
Same story. Different city. Still funny.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”
Even my boyfriend couldn’t save it.
“Bridesmaids”
Best movie out: Hollywood take note.
I think I have a future. Anyone willing to pay for it?
* That’s a fact some of the students in my class didn’t really seem to grasp when they noted there wasn’t much long-form writing in the class. Sigh.
Observe and report 
Oh watching movies in a theatre. A luxury I miss so much. How do you find the time?!
(P.S. Yes, I’d hire you for sure. Six-word reviews = Six-figure salary.)

We saw three of these with the kids. The rest were much-needed babysitter nights. We love movies, so it is worth it to make the time.
