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 like this one from my 3rd page for
Heidi
because of the image it conjurs up of a yodelling retro Swiss Miss on her mobile/cell phone!

From my fifth page, I always wondered if this film wouldn't have been better realized if it had been done in claymation by Parks. The comparisoin certainly inspired a pretty good review, if I do say so myself.

Wings of Eagles.

I like this one because at first glance it appears very simple but beneath the surface is referenced a complicated relationship involving John Ford, The Duke, Spig Wead and the latter's wife Min.

Would I be a swindler if you would kindly vote for this? NOT.


...Top of my 4th page, I like it because it is pithy, rhyming and questions the motives of the film-maker, all in only three words.

Top of my second page, this review is factually accurate, which makes me feel frisky, as always.

I enjoyed writing a review for this film, 'cuz I remember enjoying it with my family, way back when I was a kid. The film spooked me, but I managed to 'man up' and review it in my later years anyway. Probably need to re-view it tho, just to catch its nuances...

Her eyes see all...
