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 one of my bottom pages, this one (again) got a vote without my pushing it. I actually think its one of my more clever reviews (not my best, but still...).

Nice one Choccy, got my vote!

I think I'll join you in a Waterworld review actually.
Although I wonder if just this once, I could be cheeky and put 2 in here? It's just that I'd like to move both of them up!

If it's unacceptable, just don't look at the second one.

(Tina Majorino is the actress who played the little girl.)


EDIT: Forgot to say why I like them! I like the first one because it describes the film really simply and I like the pun. The second one I like because it describes the relationship between Costner and the little girl perfectly, and it just makes me laugh!

From my 16th page we reach the absolute end!

Unlike others on this site, I'd never list this film among my favs. However, it gives the opportunity for another one-word review.

And, in the words of Borat - 'snice!

I like this one from p.7 because I am partial to reviews that while describing the film also ironically resonate in real life.
