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.

From my 9th page, this fwfr for Fracture reminds me of those tongue-twisters my dad used to amuse us with. It's accurate for the film, but when you say it out loud it seems to border on gibberish. Oh, maybe it IS gibberish. Which only makes me like it more!

Welles's company was called "The Mercury Theatre" and for a while produced weekly radio plays. "The War Of The Worlds" was the most notorious and had half of America believing the aliens has really landed. (60 odd years later they voted for Bush, so nothing really changes, does it?)

In the real world the production of mercury is hazardous as its a highly toxic substance!

I like this review for Mona Lisa Smile because it references a film to which it compares unfavorably.

Page 12.

From my third page.

Since I love beer bread, and Mae Busch is one of my favorite silent-film actresses,
I was excited when I could combine the two in this review.

I really don't care what page this was on, but now that the MERPs have allowed it to be what I originally asked for, I think its one of my best:

I give you my favourite Cold Mountain review!
