SA:MOU = Self-Assessment: Moving On Up
DA LATEST ROOLZ
1. Look at the top-rank reviews of ANY OF YOUR PAGES. Pick ONE film you think deserves to move up to the next page - as sorted by votes received. This means that even one vote will "move it up." You are urged to say which page from the top you've chosen.
2. Isolate that film* and present the link in this thread.
3. You now have the choice to share with us AN EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU LIKE IT. Not an explanation of the review ... but of WHY YOU LIKE IT.
Who knows, your wish may come true
4. Da Roolz have been altered because far be it from me to insist on tyranny. Clearly some people just don't want to share their explanations of why they like one review in a page of 100, but they still can't resist upping their vote count.
So go on, do whatever you want to.
Honestly, I don't want to be the SA:MOU police and neither do I want to have to read yet another pseudo-explanation that someone likes a pun because it's a pun. I hope some people will play within the spirit of SA:MOU if only because I really like to compare my own assessment of why I like someone's review with its author's.
* It's been covered before how to do this, but here's a step-by-step recap:
1. Go to the page featuring everyone's reviews of your chosen film.
EITHER
2. From the drop-down display options choose My Reviews Only. [this method is ONLY if you have one review for your chosen film]
OR
2. Select Reviewer Name for the page display.
3. Find your own review and count which number it is on the page.
4. Up at the top url display you'll see something like this:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?sort=2&dir=2&id=1698&Mode=&Rows=1&Start=11
5. See where it says Start=11 ... change that numeral to whatever you counted in step 3, and press go.
6. Your new page should now start with your chosen review.
7. NOW, to eliminate all the other reviews still showing, go up to the url display again and see where it says Rows=100.
8. Change that to Rows=1
Your new page should now have only your chosen review displayed. Copy that url and use it as your link for this thread.

I LOVE that review!  Thanks for putting it up. And all your snow-reports prompted me to do some googling. Clearly the kids are loving it! Please keep warm.
Thanks. I got into work this afternoon, but there's still lots on the ground. As for keeping warm, that is a bit easier said than done - there's a problem with my heater which runs on diesel. Seems the chimney must be stopped up and so we can't light it. We do have an airconditioner that heats, and thankfully we're on the ground floor with two flats above us so the heat doesn't escape so quickly, but it isn't strong enough to heat the whole house. That means the kids put on little space heaters and these draw so much energy that we had a couple of power outages (which thankfully are fixed quickly by turning something off and then flipping the breaker switch back on). But we have warm comforters and aren't doing too badly. Gave me an opportunity to bake some whole wheat bread (a little tradition of mine for snow days), and so the oven helped warm the house some as well as emitting a lovely, cosy aroma throughout the place. Delightful.
(Got everyone so far.)

Way too fast, actually, I kinda felt guilty when I awoke to all my newly voted reviews. That post was definitely meant to be tongue-in-cheeky, tho I'm sure you got that.... Thanks for the hits, BB!
Ali, had already touched up your current review, so I'll dish out some 'sugar' to some of your other suitables.
Damn, this is becoming a theme... simply figure out what the 'Cankle's preferences are(aside from chubby ankles, that is...), post a review, and watch me go to town... will do it gladly! |

I like this review 'cuz it takes me back to a childhood dominated by my attempt to excel at BMX racing. It also touches upon Nicole's former relationship with Tom and the BMX theme...
'BMX Summer...'
Damn Bafta, I'll buoy damned... had already touched this one up awhile ago... Will, of course visit your pages and find suitable alternates!
Well, thankee kind sir. It's a bit of the dittos, so I'll be doing the same. Not till tomorrow, though

I don't usually like using the title of one film as a review for another, but I have to admit I smiled as soon as I thought of this one.
I like its elegant simplicity in completely describing the contents of the film.
Hope you agree.
Oh, yeah ... btw ... in the UK the word buoy is pronounced 'boy' and not, as in America, bou-ee.

Raoul Walsh's High Sierra is a fine Bogie vehicle. Bogie's name is Roy 'Mad Dog' Earle and it is interesting how an actual dog, named Pard I believe, figures in the plot. I also like how this review evokes a much later 'Mad Dog' film. |
