SA:MOU = Self-Assessment: Moving On Up
DA LATEST 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.

3. You now have the choice to share with us 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

4. Da Roolz have been altered because far be it from me to insist on tyranny. Clearly some people just don't want to share their explanations of why they like one review in a page of 100, but they still can't resist upping their vote count.

So go on, do whatever you want to.

Honestly, I don't want to be the SA:MOU police and neither do I want to have to read yet another pseudo-explanation that someone likes a pun because it's a pun. I hope some people will play within the spirit of SA:MOU if only because I really like to compare my own assessment of why I like someone's review with its author's.



* 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

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

Here's one from my 12th page that reminds us who played the bad brother, what kind of a person he was, as well as what could have been a tragic ending to this very funny film.

From my 5th page comes not only an accurate review about a talking goose, but because his name is

Randall
it's a built-in tribute to one of my favourite FWFRers. BTW - the scientific name for goose = anser.

And that's why I like this!

Top of my second page, this libidinous review makes me hard.

Poor Lloyd Bridges gets strafed by a German fighter plane. Shame.

I like this one because I was the first to draw attention to the fact that the subject matter of this film echoes the title of its director's most famous film.

Languishing at page 20.

This is one of my best reviews, but no one else seems to think so. Christopher Lambert, a frenchman, played the title role in Tarzan. He was found in the wilderness and brought back to civilisation to be 'tamed'. He also fell in love with Jane. So this review works on three different levels and as such should be rewarded with not only votes, but maybe some kind of international award.

From the top of my page 9. My favourite type of review is when you change one letter of a phrase to give it a different meaning.

Thanks Choccie, you're too kind. I notice that the Golden Globes came and went without a mention though...
