It is very popular in Four Your Consideration threads for people to post hints to their reviews; a practice I detest, yet have to live with. Apart from being blatantly obvious and/or incredibly condescending ("so that's what Citizen Kane is about"), these "hints," more often than not, spoil wonderfully witty reviews. Which is where this thread comes in.
Below is a link to a review of mine for Wonder Boys. The first person to get what it is should post an explanation of the review, and then post a link to one of their slightly obscure reviews. The person who figures that one out posts a link themselves, and the circle continues, providing a platform for more esoteric reviews.
Wonder Boys
PS. This is clearly not an alternative to the FYCTH rounds; nor am I saying that people should stop posting hints there. I would prefer it that way, obviously, but I can also try and avert my eyes for the sake of congeniality. I am such a martyr.

I actually have a review for Song of Norway that has the same basis, BiggerBoat.

Just had this one approved. Entered it into FYC but hasn't done as well as I thought it might, so I guess it is a bit obscure. Anyone? Anyone?
I suppose it must be a pun on Once More With Feeling, originally a 1960 Stanley Donen film starring Yul Brynner, and also latterly a Buffy episode which was apparently made into a musical - though I never saw that!
Can anyone explain these two?
Yes.  |

Correctomundo.
Although I didn't know about either of those. To be honest I always thought it was a general term used by camp directors to admonish bad acting during rehearsals. |

Google makes things too easy these days. 
The whole film is loaded is Masonic imagery, by the way, starting with the opening song.
I did not realized there was such imagery. Now that I think about it, it's apparent. Interesting.
A few years ago I read "Rule by Secrecy" by Jim Mars.
My review
Bloody battle in Liu's place 'The House of Blue Leaves'.
What is the 'extra' Here?
A hint--It's a tribute review.
Is it a tribute to the reviewer Yelnats?
Bingo!, or should I say !ogniB. |

My review
It's as good a work of fiction as any other, I guess.
Okay, I actually know this, but since I got the last one I'll give someone else a chance. I'll login when I get to the office, if it's still unanswered I'll go at it.
Edit: Come on people...don't make me have to find another review for this thread. There's gotta be someone besides me that gets Mr. S's review! |

Okay folks...impress me. Someone already did, a long time ago when it got a vote.
Is it a method the Free Masons use to raise the dead? (And in the film simba is gripped and raised by his ear by his parent)
