Four Your Consideration - Treasure Hunt
Sean Says:
I can't believe it's not butter!
 - 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:".

I see what you mean about the context of the film making them more similar... agreed, but the comparison with our previous reviews is funny. Are you sure it isn't just because it's the other way around this time you're feeling the discomfort of the similarity?
Yes, I am pretty sure that is not an issue for me.
Pleased to be able to clear that one up.

I've never really understood how using two extra words and the same pun can qualify as a different review... anyway, old ground well trodden.  |

VV! Favourite of the round was Airbolt's "G-Force" review - made me laugh out loud. 
Thanks
Liked your Space Racism review

And that Blood Diamond review adds something to the site beyond napper's how exactly?
I don't see a problem with this because "Rough Diamond" and "Diamond in the Rough" are distinct idioms and mean different things.
The idioms have different meanings yes, but the literal meanings which make sense within the context of the film seem to me to be the same and therefore they are very similar reviews. (In my opinion these two reviews are much closer than the two "Nice" reviews you mentioned a few weeks back.)
However, as ever I'm happy to let the MERPs sort this sort of problem out. That's what they're paid for, isn't it?

Got everyone so far...
(I guess no one knew that in the movie Leviathan a character called Sixpack is killed by drinking some alien contaminated Vodka.) |
