Give me votes, give me sweet little votes.
Also, you should know that The Woods stars Bruce Campbell and The Thing from Another World stars James Arness from Gunsmoke. |

Two rookies, three veterans
Note:
"A Lion in Winter" was a sequel to "Becket," with Peter O'Toole reprising his role as England's King Henry II. |

With all due respect, my editorial friend, wouldn't call Lion in Winter a sequel to Becket, per se. Yes, they both have Peter O'Toole playing Henry II, and chronologically, Lion in Winter does take place after the time when Becket takes place. And yes, in Lion in Winter Henry does mention Thomas Becket. However, Becket was originally a play (in French) by Jean Anouilh in 1959, and Lion in Winter was a play by James Goldman in 1966. Becket really is much more about Thomas Becket and less about Henry II, and is based on fact. Lion in Winter's story focuses on Henry, Eleanor and their sons so it does have historical people in it, but is considered to be totally fiction, as there was no Christmas Court in Chinon, despite the fact that the play is sandwitched between known historical events prior to and after the play's setting.
OK, lecture over.

I was about to say something, but then I decided against it, what with the debate on hints in the last round.
Chocy is, of course, correct. Calling Lion in Winter a sequel to Becket is like calling Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead a sequel to Hamlet.

"1500+ reviews. 1 joke."

One Two Newbies, Four Three from my bottom 100.
Background:
- In The Travelling Executioner, an electric chair is actually put on wheels and brought from one prison to the next. You may have to think about the last word in the review to get the joke.
- The 1966 Batman movie is the polar opposite in tone to this year's, which is called The Dark Knight.
- The Tiger Woods Story review is also the title of a 1980's Burt Reynolds film. Can you guess which one without looking?
- All Men Are The Same is the English translation of the film's original title in Spanish: "Todos los hombres sois iguales".
- UPDATE: Newly approved review. In I'm Not There six different actors, including Christian Bale, represent different eras in the life of Bob Dylan. One aspect of the film deals with the period where Dylan left Judaism claiming to be Born Again. Later, I believe, he returned to his original faith. Hence, my review is doubly true. Kinda makes it Dylanesque. |

Sheesh, kids, does a title have to have a Roman numeral in it to be a sequel? Same character played by same actor in subsequent time period smells like sequel to me. They don't require the same writer, director, makeup artist or best boy, do they?
(Just playin, everybody. Point taken. PLEASE don't seriously debate this, as you will be ignored. This site is supposed to be fun, right?) |

V&V. Wildhart got 5/5 from me.
Whipper's "The Wives of Others", Cankle's "What a waist" and Bafta's "Train, no sound track" were my faves for the round. |

You are forgiven... this time!
Voted for everyone so far!
