Thanks.
Let the record show that my review was on par with the required word count.
No, I think Leo means that in this game, we require three movies for every entry; for each of which we give a five-word review, a plot summary, a comment on the star’s performance, or something else relevant. Your entry was short two movies.
Although it seems to me that the prompt is quite specific, and thus, quite difficult. Nothing comes to mind, for me. Would anybody mind if we changed the prompt to something else, in order to keep the game going?
(Also, Panther Modern, welcome to the board and the game!)
Understood. I missed the part where I need to include THREE movies per post. My bad!
A little poking around on IMDb suggests there might actually be three, but I haven’t seen them, and I do only movies I’ve seen, so I can’t do it.
I’m the same way, but I may have to set that aside, just to keep things moving. So, using IMDB, I found some; and as it turns out, I’ve seen two. I’m not sure if those two fully meet the prompt’s requirement, but I am going to use them anyway–hey, two out of three ain’t bad. The third–all I know is what IMDB tells me.
