Mirren's terrific (playing 6 decades, sans crown),
Ma'am meets her PMs (including Churchill & Brown).
She's a figurehead of stature,
Had disagreements with Thatcher,
And thought Blair was a bit of a clown!
Hortense's cooking for the Prez of France,
She doesn't care about budgets/finance,
There isn't much plot,
But food porn its got:
It'll have you in a gluttonous trance.
...
The initial setup takes way too long,
Then our reward: visuals so strong!
The Land of Oz, there to see ...

Fantasy journey from this famous limber crew,
It's amazing what human bodies can do!
The 3D is pretty cool,
Especially the bits in the pool,
And there's Beatles and Elvis music too.

What a triumph! (SFF twenty-twelve),
Countless fab films in which to delve,

You programmed a film-lovers dream,
And the Hub idea: keep it! (don't shelve).

Michelle Williams plays twenty-eight-year-old Margot, happily married to Lou (Seth Rogen), a good-natured cookbook author.
But when Margot meets Daniel (Luke Kirby), a handsome artist that lives across the street, their mutual attraction is undeniable.
Warmly human, funny and bittersweet, TAKE THIS WALTZ deftly avoids romantic clichés and paints an unusually true and unsentimental portrait of adult relationships.

This American Life by Glass,
Is radio that's hard to surpass,
Amazing cast & New York Philharmonic,
Do one of Sondheim's most iconic,
Alas filmed musicals are rare,
This one's such delightful fare,
It's both moving & deliciously comic.
Hooray for Hollywood!

The Best Picture nominees reviewed below, in five line rhyme!
Streep in the role of her life, Playing the leader, the mother, the wife, But the story’s quite scattered, Not much on what mattered, But an old lady in a whole lot of strife.
Nathan becomes a victim of abduction,
His parents real lives: it's his introduction,
To save the girl and the lists,
He uses his legs and fists,
...
Ryan Reynolds is Maverick with powers,
Who joins a galactic army that cowers,
His wise-cracks worn thin,
Like the clothes Lively’s in,
Avoid this and you’ll save yourself hours....
A string-bean who’s used to a slappin’,
Gets himself transformed into the Cap’n,
But ain’t that Johnny Storm?
In a new uniform?
In a movie where nothing much happened.
