Seems that I dropped the ball [again] on this series! Volume 3 was back in January, ahah.
I got this Five Movies in Five Words from Josh @ The Cinematic Spectacle. So basically the idea is to come up with five movies from various genres and capture the essence of the film, or whatever that comes to mind when I think of that film, in one word. As a general *rule* I’m picking films I saw in the last few months that I haven’t had the chance to review yet.
So here we go:
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)
endearing
Felony (2013)
intricate
What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
uproarious
Populaire (2012)
frothy
Paddington (2014)
mirthful
Have you seen any of these? How would YOU describe them in one word?

Ok, I LOVE that you used the word mirthful to describe Paddington! Such a brilliant word use there.
Thanks Drew!! I wanted to use amusing but I think mirthful is more appropriate 🙂
Loving the word ‘frothy’!
Glad that you do Mikey!
Nicole Kidman and Paddington? Bemusing.
I still can’t get my head around that pairing.
Ahah, very true! And how about Peter Capaldi, Dr Who himself, who has a crush on Kidman in the movie? That scene when the song ‘Hello’ came on as she came out of the phone booth is hilarious. I totally didn’t expect THAT song to be in this movie!
Never saw Populaire and I STILL haven’t seen What We Do in the Shadows. Thanks for reminding me! Fun post, Ruth. I’ve written about scores–would love your thoughts!
Populaire is just ok, but you MUST see What We Do in the Shadows, it’s hysterical!
LOVE your post on Philip Glass!
Thanks, Ruth ♥. I have put Shadows in my Netflix queue.
I don’t think it’s on Netflix yet, but worth renting through iTunes 😀
Five words to describe these films: I need to see them!!!! 😉
Ahah, yes you do Tom! What We Do in the Shadows is an absolutely brilliant comedy!
Ah yes, that is the only film on this list I have seen and I agree. It’s fantastic. So far my favorite comedy of 2015
Oh cool, so you have seen at least one. Glad you think so. I LOVE LOVE that movie, I watched clips of it on youtube almost every day if I need a laugh. It’s uproariously funny from start to finish. I don’t usually like sequels but I’d LOVE to see a follow up on it.
“What are we?”
“Werewolves….not swearwolves….” Lol!!!!!
Ahahaha, yes I LOVE that scene. There are really too many hilarious scenes to mention in this movie.
“Mirthful” and “frothy” are adjectives that should be used more often. 🙂 Great post!
I think so too Stephanie, thank you!
I’ve never heard of any of the films on the list except PADDINGTON and of course I’ve never seen them. But I like this post series, hopefully you can keep going with it. 🙂
You might like Felony Ted since I know you like film noir. And if you’re up for a hilarious horror comedy, I can’t recommend What We Do in the Shadows enough.
Paddington = “mirthful” – interesting Ruth!
I like the idea of distilling a “review” into one word but it’s definitely a challenge. I find myself thinking of one word then adding others to it and realize I’m back to writing a traditional review!
Most recently watched American Sniper for the first time. My one word review/thought/musing would be: “patriotic”.
Hi Dan! So you’ve seen Paddington? I wanted another word for ‘amusing’ and I think ‘mirthful’ is a more apt description.
It’s quite challenging to reduce a review into one word but it’s really fun to do once in a while. Well, sounds like you chose the appropriate word for American Sniper.
Only saw What We Do in the Shadows and Paddington, but both were great movies. You use some words though I didn’t know yet 😉
Ahah really? Well Thesaurus is my best friend Nostra 😀 Glad you’ve seen WWDITS, LOVE that movie!!
Thanks for the link Ruth! Love these. I’ve only seen Paddington, but that’s a great word to describe it.
Thank YOU for the inspiration! I’m surprised you’ve only seen just one from here. I can’t recommend What We Do in the Shadows enough, so freakin’ hilarious!
