Thank God the backwards writing is gone. It gave me a headache.
Here are some oldies that never made it to the FYC and deserve more votes:

I didn't love it. (I wouldn't consider voting for any review I strongly disagreed with, however good.) However, I thought it was quite good, and time travel is an appealing concept for children. The paradoxes resulting from it were presented clearly enough for them, while still being interesting. Immediately afterwards, I saw The Last Mimzy (also about time travel), which I enjoyed, but it wasn't really suitable for children as they would need to be at least about ten to follow it - the problem is that the main character is a girl of about six, and ten-year-olds are not interested in films about six-year-olds. |

I find it hard to distinguish between spoilers and information and I do it just to make sure. Also, some people have stated they don't like hints or information being given in FYCTH, so I think it gives people a choice to read the hints or not. |

FWIW, I've never stated anything of the sort. My take: info away as much as you like. All I ever have stated is that I don't read hints or information. Or provide them. However, I do think it's courteous of those who want to make it easier to pass by to camouflage them somehow. But then, as I said, since I'm completely disinterested in any such hints or information, this issue doesn't pertain to me at all. However, I thought you might like to hear my views. Even if you mightn't, you just did.

I reserve my right to hint the hell out of my FYC post if I think it's helpful, and as long as I'm not spoiling anything in those hints I won't disguise them. I know Randall and some others don't read them, and that's okay by me too. (Except when I italicise - but I'll save that for special occasions....  )
Oh, and my selection is coming soon... |

V&V.
Not only did foxboy get 5/5 from me, he gets my vote for best review of the round so far.
"Ground hog day" It's so clever I'm stunned nobody thought of it before. |

I just can't help it. I think The Girl on a Motorcycle is one of the sexiest film titles of all time. Oh, and one each for City of God and Blue Lagoon.
No hints, so don't go looking for beige here Mister. |
