Great use of alliteration and end rhymes for this review and summary of an endearing film. Superb juxtaposition of picture and poem. Fine work.

    You're welcome. I had never seen it until I had to teach a course on Popular Culture. I quite like its heartwarming tone.

Very good and succinct review of the movie, ET. It was a well made film with great acting, special effects, and a wonderful message of familial love. Best wishes, Hector

    Oh Marcia, I really do appreciate your kind words! It's always been a favorite of mine - still makes me tear up every time - just such an innocent and beautiful story for "kids" of all ages. Very glad you enjoyed it - and although I didn't win in the contest, it was fun to write. Sandy

Awwwwww ... perfect review for a wonderful movie, WerdNerd. When my daughter was 2-3 we had to watch ET everyday. I could almost recite it word for word. Best wishes in the contest!

WN,

I like your submission. This is the first of the several I've read that has actually been able to provide a full synopsis with only six words. Very good. Best of luck.

    Thank you E.P. - I really appreciate your kind review - unfortunately I didn't win, but I had great fun with this one, and thanks again. Sandy

    It's over? These contests always end before I have a chance to vote. Sorry.

    I know I'm still not 100% sure how some of them work. Once you reserve a spot and set up your entry, you can hold off on posting it until the last minute - or you can post it right away and start getting a few reviews. As far as I know, the only people who actually vote for the contest entries, are the others who have submitted entries (at least I think that's how it works)..........again, I thank you kindly!! :-)
reply by E.P. Thomas on 12-Sep-2010
    I'll look into it because I checked all of the other entries and no had a winner's ribbon.
