We need a new “sample review” in the Movies category.

The sample review is primarily of benefit to new users. As an example, it should guide them in writing their own quality review. It should be illustrative and encouraging.

The Movie Advisors have selected 15 epinions that we feel are appropriate. Please take a moment to read the different reviews before voting for one (links are provided below). Some of the authors you will be familiar with. Others may be new to you. Please give all the candidates a fair chance.

Thank you,
The Movie Advisors

I started looking through them but Epinions got wonky and I keep getting reload directions. I'll try again tomorrow.

And we value yours. Thank you, Bill. Thanks also to everyone else who worked to select some excellent possibilities. I'm about half way through reading the nominated reviews and there isn't a bad one in the bunch.

Hmmmm... the voting has frozen up.

Is there really this much apathy?

:brickwall

Damn.

What a wonderful portfolio of Epinion's best! A very difficult choice.

Only a couple days left to vote on a new "sample review" in Movies.

Make sure you cast your vote. Vote for the Epinion that you feel will most help newbies and other potential movie reviewers looking for some guidance.

Kind of a tough decision, but please do vote.

But not one of these offers fashion tips, career advice, or insight into the life of a true Hollywood professional...

It looks as though, with the new "Express Reviews", Epinions has done away with the "Sample Review" in the Movies category.

I guess it's for the best, although I'm sorry Sue's review of "Holes" (which was deserving) never replaced the "somewhat helpful" Epinion that graced that spot. It was not to be.

Hopefully, for those who cast a vote, the process turned you on to a writer you were previously unfamiliar with or there was some other positive aspect to it.
