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.

I really like the simplicity of this one.from my 12th page. And, of course, I'm absolutely besotted by gorillas!

As it turns out, this review has triple meaning built into it...
1 - Tho obvious, Charles Dickens wrote the original novel this flick is based upon
2 - 'Dickens' is sometimes slangily thrown around to describe kids who are a little... je ne sais pas... rambunctious?
3 - Ethan Hawke's character is the kid brother of Kim Dickens' character, the older sister who eventually deserts him and her boyfriend(Chris Cooper). Spoiler? Not really, Kim Dickens played a rather minor role.
If you haven't guessed it already, my weekly entry(I still adhere to the 1 at a time scenario, RP... you little Dickens) into SA:MOU is...

This review from the top of my second page is not only a pun on a movie title but also a very apt description of an extraordinary couple trying to remain ordinary.
Btw, I will not be voting on entries that are not intented for SA:MOU and may have been intended for MIHAI or FYCTH - just wanted to make it clear. |

Voted to here.
redpen got 1/3 from me... 
I was tempted to touch all 3, but the purist in me wouldn't allow the pulling of that trigger.
Big fan of the attempt/mis-post, tho  |
