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.

As Gerry & the Pacemakers sang "I Like It".

The development of the viable artificial heart pacemaker ocurred around the same time as Gerry & the Pacemakers' rise to (short-lived) fame, so grab the ferry and get voting!

This review is currently beating on page 16.

From the top of my third page, comes this film, the first by M. Night Shyamalan. I like it because of its ability to capture the plot in four words (a true review) apart from rhyming beautifully.

Hintlet: - In the film, Manoj Night Shyamalan's character flies back to India after spending some years in US, and is afraid of the conditions at home. He fights them successfully.

I like this review, 'cuz it reminds me of my grandmother(100% Romanian) on my father's side... she took me to many movies as a child, none greater than 'Dressed To Kill', yeah she was a progressive chick... So, when I saw this flick and reviewed it, I kept her in mind...

Love ya, Grams...

Actually, she's still alive, just haven't seen her in 3 years... I still have vivid memories of her trying to block the nudity scenes from 'Dressed To Kill,' but she spread her fingers just far enough to actually give me a glance... Never forgot that gesture...

That's why I love this review!!!


Voted to here... Whipper, had already voted on your chosen review, will touch you up in other areas... Great stuff y'all
