What are your "full reviews"?

[djross]

There is no simple way of keeping track of what films one has written about in the "full reviews" section of the boards here. The "simplest" method seems to be to go to that section, then sort by "author". But I thought it may be worthwhile to have a spot to keep a list of these reviews. That said, I know that there are some users who have written many many reviews in that section, and I'm not suggesting they should bother to list them all here. For myself, however, in ten years there have only been three (one posted today), and so it's not too onerous a task to provide the links. None of these three are really "full" reviews: more an attempt to analyse or draw attention to one specific aspect.

tbh most of these aren't really in any sense 'full reviews'-- fwiw I'd say the MS review both best fits that criterion and is probsly my best contribution to 'film criticism' [lol], but ymmv...
