This may be a non-starter, but I think it might be fun. Dunno how many others have a small selection of reviews that were written to a theme rather than a single film ... I've got a couple. Trouble is - there's no way [that I know of] to isolate them all onto one page for voting ... ergo the prep for this is a bit time-consuming.

So you have to declare the reviews here in this thread with links to your isolated review for that film.

Explanation is far more complicated than reality so here's what I mean. I based a bunch of FWFRs on the phrase "I do" ... like so:

Corpse Bride

Runaway Bride

I Was A Male War Bride

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

Anyone else?

A very small selection.


Two missionary positions:


The End of the World in Our Usual Bed in a Night Full of Rain.

Here, Candice scandalizes her husband when she suggests they try something a little different in bed.



At Play in the Fields of the Lord.

Here Kathy is a missionary but manages to get nekid. Surely not the Lord's work!!!



Sorry, BB. had already hit three of yours.

Just a small point but did he not get caught at the end and finish up in the cooler....again

You could rephrase "McQueen temporarily escapes Germans."

As a matter of fact, I do. Nothing special, but they were all written together:


Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Austin Powers In Goldmember

I suppose I should have submitted these for the alliteration challenge, too.

I'm proud of these. Unfortunately, I can't do them for all the Harry Potter movies, just the first five.

Harry Potter 1

Harry Potter 2

Harry Potter 3

Harry Potter 4

Harry Potter 5

Need a hint? Start here.

Yeah, I guess it sort of turned out that way...I like it, but it was a little too soon. I'm not done with #2 yet.

Also, I had a great idea for the next challenge. I call dibs on it!

I think BB saw this as a different challenge from the one started by Salopian where there is a common theme.

Here we are finding sets of reviews with differing common feautures unique to our own warped minds or creative brilliance (or some combination thereof).

Unfortunately I have only one Pig Latin review and my only review in Esperanto was declined long ago.

OK by me. There was a little over a month between F.W.F.R.ers' challenge no. 1 and No. 2 and No.1 is still getting entries.

Yup! Surely didn't mean to offend anyone. Prob'ly shouldn't have used the word 'challenge' ... it's always intrigued me that if one does want to write reviews with a theme over a range of different films, there's really no way for anyone else to appreciate them all together. I should have called it ... The FWFR Theme Display Team.

In fact ... I'm gonna change that puppy right now!
