  Despite the gutsy move to give The Little Mermaid a negative review, it just wasn’t enough for Deems Taylor. So Botch Casually will move on to the next round. For this next battle, we’re looking at the second Hitchcock of the tournament, Rope. And I can say this with honesty: This is one of the battles I’ve been waiting for. I believe this will probably be one of the toughest ones to vote on (depending on...

  What a controversial battle! And a tight race there at the end! But in the end, in literally the last minutes before midnight, Dr. Richard Thornton came out on top by about 2 votes and will be moving on to Round 2! Congrats! And thank you to everybody who commented and critiqued, anonymously or otherwise. I do ask that you do not actually insult the contestants, however. Otherwise, great stuff. For today’s battle, I actually had to...

  I was kind of surprised to see much fewer votes this time around, especially for a more well-known, classic film. But it was still a decent turnout. Your Accomplice in the Wood Chipper moves on to the next round. As for this next battle… there are some special circumstances. The Movie Mugwump, for health reasons, had to pull out of the competition. I was unable to...

  (If you have no idea what this is, please click here and here.) Wow! I did not see that coming! The last battle was surely an interesting one! It was a tight race early on, and then it seemed The Crazy 88 had a pretty strong lead for quite a while and was going to easily win the battle. But then in the last few hours, Macaulay Connor caught up from behind and took the lead. And with a whopping total 54(!) votes, the second battle was...

  Hello and welcome to the first match-up of So You Think You Can Review?. I promise the rest of these won’t be so wordy, but I felt the need to do a bit of an introduction here. If this is your first time hearing of this tournament, please read this. Done? Good. All I’d like to add is that all contestants were randomly assigned spots on the list, and each match-up was assigned a movie at random (only checking to make sure they...
