Do you lack the time to see what LA.COM film reviewers Bob Strauss and Glenn Whipp have to say before heading to the theater? Then head to The Four World Film Review Web site, where movie buffs are encouraged to keep it brief.
Visitors to the site are encouraged to add their own reviews, provided they're four words or less. They can also vote on the reviews themselves, with the higher-rated critiques getting better play on the site.
The reviews themselves run the gamut from the absurd to the sublime. A recent McClatchy News Service listed these favorites:
"Thinner" (1996): Girth, interrupted.
"The Wizard of Oz" (1939): Lion, Witch, wide road.
"The Departed" (2006): Many covers, brains blown.
"The Dark Knight" (2008): Insane clown's posse.
"Psycho" (1960): Norman prefers clean kill.
