Four Your Consideration - Treasure Hunt
Sean Says: Whaddya mean MORE cold weather? Bah! Humbug!
- 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:".

Too late, mate. I'd already voted for all five.
PS Now I've voted for a few more in others' sets.
I had the same problem. |

I agree, but presumably the film isn't well known yet. I only knew the basic idea from when it was mentioned in a previous round (likely by you) and it is unfortunately evident that I have got a better memory than a lot of people around here.
Hip hooray for Mr Memory. 
I voted on it having never heard of the film and knowing nothing about it but worked out the basic idea from the review. I think that makes it a good 'un. 
VV all round.

I also agree about Sludge's Grace review. Definitely undervoted.

Damn it, how are you always able to come up with these obvious (and great) reviews for films that have been well known for ages? 
I'm glad I could be so impressive.
Thanks.

I agree here!!
I've often questioned reviews declined until I realise that it's based on a idiomatic pun and any over explanation takes from the beauty of a simple fwfr. |

Yeah, I thought about spelling out the reference in my comment, but I thought that highlighting the review ought to be enough to encourage right-minded people to look it up for themselves. |

Dead Ringer was the second movie in which Bette Davis played identical twins. (The other was A Stolen Life.)
Eulogy is a dysfunctional family movie, a subgenre of its own nowadays. Zooey Deschanel plays the normal one.
Good ones, and even more so the Apartment one.
Thank you. I have no idea how meaningful it is outside the UK tho. I'm often in the dark about how well puns involving British & Irish slang, idioms, collocations, proper nouns, &c, will travel.

I've wanted to see that film since the Oscars, although I'm slightly uncomfortable with the tired old practice of using a cute young child to highlight a wider problem that needs addressing. |
