reviews to vote four
'World War Z' is notable for taking the trend of more, faster zombies to its logical maximum -- featuring hordes of CGI rag-doll lemming zombies.
'Prometheus' held so much promise and was a huge letdown for this long-time 'Alien' fan.
'Heathers' features a troubled Winona Ryder who befriends a full-on psychotic Christian Slater who goes on to murder several of her classmates and attempt to blow up the school gymnasium during a pep rally. After being thwarted he then commits suicide by blowing himself up.
'Beginners' has Christopher Plummer coming out of the closet after his wife dies.
'The Rum Diary' features a struggling writer travelling to Puerto Rico and stumbling upon some plot device or another, didn't make it through this one. |

Cartoons, puppets and pixels.
NB:
The enemy of "Team America" is Korean dictator Kim Jong Il.
"Rainy Day Circus" is the second Panda! Go Panda! animation.
Gru plots to steal the moon in "Despicable Me".
A girl raises signal flags in memorial to her dead father, which catches the eye of a fellow student in "From Up on Poppy Hill".
Anime "Summer Wars" uses themes from "The Wizard of Oz" - including the white rabbit, the cheshire cat in an online virtual reality also called OZ. |

Final Round of FWPT
which is sadly being retired after 8+ years due to lack of interest.
Enter here.
Read about it here.
Go on, enter. You know you want to. A special topic has been chosen for this swan song. 
Oops, I never checked back in that thread (the last FYCTH round) or I'd have entered then. It's not too late to enter FWPT, there've been no voters yet.
I have 10 reviews (my total output from the last four years) that haven't been FYCTH'd, so here are five of them.

V&V. Nice ones, Sean!
N.B. for vote trawlers: I rarely vote for reviews without full stops. [Yanks: "periods."] Sometimes they work without [thus earning my vote], but usually they don't. Your decision to omit the final stop is of course yours alone. My decision to pass by that review at voting time is my own as well. |

| VV. Nearly managed 10 entrants... Not too shabby. And great to see the founder of the game back too. Write more reviews Sean. Or show us some old ones. |

VV. And thanks, folks. I'll be back next round with the other five (that's two years' output). I don't 'force' reviews like I did in the old days, but when one pops into my mind I submit it. That's one review every few months.

Don't know if my reviews prompted you to note this, but I've only ever (occasional lapses aside) added full stops to the end of sentences, full verb phrases (their being the head of the sentence) and reviews which have earlier stops to divide components. The old site unfortunately used to add them automatically, but one benefit of the new site (or rather the era of the new site, since I still use the old one) is that that has stopped. Not sure why you'd want non-sentences to have stops any more than you'd presumably want non-questions to have question marks, but I can empathise with withholding votes from actually incorrect punctuation: I don't vote for reviews with apostrophes in bizarre places, for example. |
