The Four Word Film Review (fwfr.com) takes the capsulized film review to the extreme. Since the site’s creation in 1999 by Londoner Benjamin Clews, 150,000-plus reviews–of four words or fewer–have been posted. “I feel three words would just be too hard to express yourself with,” Clews has said. “And five is far too verbose for my liking.”
HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES:
– A “Chicken Little” (left) review: “Close Encounters: Chicken Kind.”
– 2000’s “Best in Show”: “This Is Spaniel Tap”
– 1984’s “Amadeus”: “Salieri has pianist envy.”
– The epic “Titanic”: “Icy dead people.”
