I’ve spent half of my life in this decade, and it has been, without a doubt, one of the top two decades of cinema I’ve ever experienced. From the indie explosions of “Memento” and “Eternal Sunshine,” to the Kubrickian “There Will Be Blood,” to the epic “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the last 10 years have been more than Netflix worthy. Yet there were a few instant classics whose commitment to quality cinema remain so high above the rest that there is only one way I could properly review them (based mainly on my lack of time). For this very special issue of “Haiku Review,” I’ll take a look at my picks of seven films I think we’ll look back on as really good indicators of where we were in the ’00s – for better or worse. To those of you unaware, haikus are kind of like ancient Japanese tweets. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button His life is quite strange: Moving backwards, but also Two hours too long. The Time Traveler’s Wife Saw it on a plane Cheesy and predictable But still made me cry. Old Dogs Haven’t seen it yet But Robin AND Travolta? Best picture shoo-in. Daddy Day Camp Just watched the trailer Wait, is that Cuba Gooding? How the mighty fall. The Ugly Truth A horrible plot And quite blatantly sexist But Heigel is HOT. 27 Dresses I feel overwhelmed So, so, so many weddings I’m hungry for cake. Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 These babies are smart In fact, they outsmart adults Haven’t slept well since.
