 - Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
 - Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
 - Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
 - Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
 - You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
- The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at 6:00 a.m. FWFR time, whichever comes next.
 - The initiator of the next round will name the thread "FYCTH - #***" or "Sean's FYCTH - #***", "***" is one integer greater than the number of the current round. The initiator of the next round will copy this post verbatim and it will appear as the opening post of the next round, the only things that may be changed are fonts/colours and smileys (which may be removed altogether if desired) and the inviso comment after "Sean Says:".

A pretty violent selection, it must be said. 
A mini-essay on Abel Gance:
You know that Human Centipede thing that's doing the fwfr rounds? Well, okay, it's modern gothic. But there's movie history to consider. Abel Gance, by any account a cinema genius, reponsible for such powerful and inventive silent and early sound features as Napoleon and La Roue, had an early fling at horror. Not the cut-out-your-guts-and-bbq-them-for-supper kind of horror, but the scary psych horror of a sculptor staring into a mirror, smearing himself with blood, and taking poison in order to document the effects of pain.
The actor's name was Édouard de Max. The film's translated as The Mask of Horror. I hope my review makes sense now

It wouldn't be complete without a Velvet Underground reference.
Casino Jack is about Mr. Abramoff.

abroad selection
(Latin, German, French, Spanish, French)
Jarman’s controversially homoerotic Sebastiane is about St Sebastian & his fellow Roman soldiers in a garrison in the 3rd century AD. The dialogue is in Latin (with English subs).
My review — second from the left — of The Seventh Continent is conceivably a spoiler, but only in the unlikely event of your watching the movie without having any idea of its subject matter.
The Tourist is, or at any rate will be, a remake of the French movie Anthony Zimmer (2005), which is about attempts by the forces of law & order to trap one of those always-one-step-ahead criminal masterminds.
