Movie Haiku:“CROUCHING TIGER’s” cinematic moment is over: FLOWER has all the brilliant colors & martial arts choreography of its predecessors, but plot is overly-complicated & impossible to follow with too much court intrigue (“Late Tang Dynasty, 10th Century”) & no feeling of real connection between any of the characters.
