SA:MOU = Self-Assessment: Moving On Up
DA ROOLZ
1. Look at the top-rank reviews of ANY OF YOUR PAGES. Pick ONE film you think deserves to move up to the next page - as sorted by votes received. This means that even one vote will "move it up." You are urged to say which page from the top you've chosen.

2. Isolate that film* and present the link in this thread WITH ...

3. AN EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU LIKE IT. Not an explanation of the review ... but of WHY YOU LIKE IT.

Who knows, your wish may come true

* It's been covered before how to do this, but here's a step-by-step recap:
1. Go to the page featuring everyone's reviews of your chosen film.
EITHER
2. From the drop-down display options choose My Reviews Only. [this method is ONLY if you have one review for your chosen film]

OR
2. Select Reviewer Name for the page display.
3. Find your own review and count which number it is on the page.
4. Up at the top url display you'll see something like this:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?sort=2&dir=2&id=1698&Mode=&Rows=1&Start=11
5. See where it says Start=11 ... change that numeral to whatever you counted in step 3, and press go.
6. Your new page should now start with your chosen review.
7. NOW, to eliminate all the other reviews still showing, go up to the url display again and see where it says Rows=100.
8. Change that to Rows=1


3. Your new page should now have only your chosen review displayed. Copy that url and use it as your link for this thread.

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!

Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors and Throne of Blood, his version of Macbeth, one of my favorite of his films. He made the story uniquely his own, using various elements of Japanese theatre, primarily the precision and economy of noh.

I like my review - from my 6th page - because I was inspired to use those principles, and - in what I hope isn't too subtle a reference - the word-play should evoke a certain First Lady often compared with Mrs Macbeth.

"He chose... poorly"


I like this review for 'Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade' because it's a pun referencing one of the previous Indy movies

This review from my 9th page might get onto my 8th with one more vote. I thought people would understand that since there are policemen dressed up as women in this movie, the word "dragnet" would take on a new meaning.

Not really, I'd already voted on that one, so it couldn't be bad.

I am a fan of this review on top of my second page because I am a fan of the elegant bodily function it so elegantly describes.

I'm guessing that means your erections are enclosed in a carved spiral staircase. [but I'd already voted on that fwfr anyway, cheeky!]

Whatever Happened to Baked Chong?

In this movie Cheech and Chong call themselves The Guys and make porn movies. I like my review because it plays on just calling the duo 'guys' and questioning them as porn stars...but if you ain't seen the film it seems like a regular review.

"I smell varmint poontang!"



For this film, which was the first of two movies in which Bill Murray had a constant tussle with a "critter," I referred to the other flick, Groundhog Day, which I thought was right fitting!

I LOVE this review, 'cuz with 15+ years experience in the food-service industry I've seen people do some vile things to the food of ignorant/obtuse guests.
I don't condone it per se, but this film touched on some important dining-out issues: mainly, servers have way too much power (behind the scenes) to be trifled with...

Also, this review needs but 1 more vote to move it up from my zero pages...

Mmmm, the fresh taste of...

"You are NOT in control!"



I like this one, 'cause there are many elements that "Negotiator" has in common with "Dog Day Afternoon": hostages, crowd, police, winning the hearts and minds of the audience, etc.
