Sean Says: randall did it right!
- Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
- Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
- Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
- Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
- 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.
- The initiator of the next round will name the thread "FYCTH - #***" or "Sean's FYCTH - #***", "***" is one integer greater than the number of the current round. The initiator of the next round will copy this post verbatim and it will appear as the opening post of the next round, the only things that may be changed are fonts/colours and smileys (which may be removed altogether if desired) and the inviso comment after "Sean Says:".

I Am Love is about damage and resolution within a family.

Not a spoiler for The Joneses, as it's revealed near the beginning, but I was glad not to know it in advance (here and in the second review)
: They are a fake family who move into neighbourhoods in order to promote an aspirational lifestyle, i.e. certain product brands; a particular brand then appears repeatedly in the film.

Very low-level spoiler for The Crazies (here, but barely in the fourth review): The mayor thinks that there is no problem (with the water in their part of Iowa) and refuses to look for the cause.

Mild spoiler for It's a Wonderful Afterlife (here, but less so in the fifth review): She lands a far more attractive husband.

Two of these were inspired by Bean's Frida review (opposite meaning though).

Five Whale-y good reviews

NB:
"Gods and Monsters" is a biopic of director James Whale
The identity of the Invisible Man is revealed in my two reviews for those who enjoy cryptic crossword anagrams.
In "Van Helsing", a lame tribute to the classic Universal horrors, Hugh Jackman takes on Dracula.

Oh, go on then. I'll join in for a change.

Note: The Royal Flying Corps was the WW1 predecessor to the Royal Air Force. Dawn Patrol starred Errol Flynn.

&c

Can’t imagine why the unimaginative farce Death at a Funeral has just been remade, but anyway. My reviews — the 4th & 5th from left to right — of the 2007 Brit original & the 2010 American remake aren’t spoilers because you’re unlikely to understand them without knowing the plot (there’s only one plot); but if you want to appreciate either movie's comedic brilliance without foreknowledge, don’t read this:
Peter Dinklage stars in both films. He plays the lover of the secretly gay codger who’s carked it, & threatens to reveal all to the funeral guests if he’s not paid off. He gets trussed up & put into the coffin with his ex-lover at one point.
