FOUR YOUR CONSIDERATION - TREASURE HUNT
 Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
 The only rule is to not use the ones from the previous round - you must change them every round.
 Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
 You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
 The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at 6:00 a.m. FWFR time, whichever comes next.

Thanks Sludge, Chaz and Yukon for the kind comments. And the kind votes of course. 
All done!
Paddy's "Eat me" review had me in stitches... great stuff. |

Yeah, well, it happens. I myself was amused to note that ChocolateLady is (at least) the third person to come up with 'Cum, all ye faithful' for a third different film:
My version.
Falken's version.
At least in this case, the review works in slightly different ways for each film, so it doesn't feel too redundant.
Oh... and here I thought I was being so original! I guess great minds, and all that...

"Who would Jesus do?" - nice, except that someone or other thought of it before. I know that, technically, identical reviews are currently allowed for different films with the same theme, but may I suggest that people check out both of these films before submitting reviews? This is not the first time it has happened with this very pair.

(1) Could someone please explain this phrase to me? I have never known to what it is referring.
From ask.yahoo.com:
We love questions about phrase origins because, well, they're usually easy to answer. Alas, tracking this one down took some real detective work.
For those unfamiliar with the expression, this idiom can be used to gloat (as Matt Damon's character did in "Good Will Hunting") or to call attention to a small personal triumph. It's sort of another way of saying "So there" (but with apples).
OK, but how did the expression get its start? According to a few sources, it originated in World War I with the "toffee apple," a kind of trench mortar bomb sometimes used to destroy tanks. We presume soldiers would say, "How you like them apples?" after an "apple" took out an enemy.
A character played by Walter Brennan used the phrase in the John Wayne movie "Rio Bravo." After throwing a stick of dynamite and seeing his partner shoot it in the air, Brennan shouted, "How do ya like them apples?"
Ironically, whether in the movies or on the battlefield, the person being asked usually isn't around to answer the question.

Also from ask.yahoo.com:
"The word "Happyness" in the title has been taken from the misspelling of "Fun Joy Happyness" on a mural children have painted on the Chinatown daycare center where Chris Gardner takes his son, Christopher. When Chris points out the mistake, Mrs. Chu replies that it is not important to the pre-schoolers how the word is spelled, only that they have happiness. This leads Chris to contemplate the inclusion of the concept of the individual's right to "pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence, and how to pursue a happier, more emotionally secure childhood for his son, than his own had been." |

Goodbye 2006.
It is slightly possible that there is a spoiler for The Page Turner; however, it is no more than I knew from a standard plot summary before I saw the film. Highlight the following text for an explanation: The film is about revenge achieved after a long period of time.
One of the films is not as you may have thought one of thefoxboy's favourites.  It is a Bollywood film and the title is just (I assume) a coincidence. |

Whatever the reason, do let me know.
I had already voted for three and added one more. |
