I agree with Salopian, reviews just come to me. All my worst ones usually result from trying too hard to review a film I've just seen. As for accolades, I've given up trying.

Ditto the above 2 posts. I never try too hard to review a film, otherwise I end up with a crap review. For most of my best reviews in the last few months I've done the review before finding the film to fit.

I've noticed that the ones that were approved most recently were for movies it seemed several others had reviews for as well. Maybe the ones I have pending are not movies that anyone else is currently reviewing. I can't say Benj hasn't looked at my list at all though because although I haven't had anything approved in nearly a week I do have a couple of rejections.
The one currently at the top of my pending pile has been there for 3 weeks now. Not complaining though, just passing along info.

Okay I take this back....theory has now been dis-proven because during the last approval process a few movies were approved that I had pending reviews for (and mine were not approved)...
Benj always likes to keep us guessing.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is not really a joke!

I think I have more time on the computer lately than usual. I typically check this site several times a day (okay becoming and unhealthy habit perhaps) so I feel quite dejected about no reviews being accepted (or rejected for that matter). I think I'm going to try to stay off the computer for a few days or something! I did have two reviews accepted in the past 7 days, one was a movie I realized was missing from the site, the other was a "dead people" review that was plucked from near the bottom of my pending list. I can sort of gage at this point that the reviews near the top of my pending pile have been there about a month now.  And yet, I always get so annoyed when anyone complains about such things, so I can only conclude that my patience isn't where it should be.

Cheer up LPH
One way to get approved at the same rate of submission is to submit less reviews! (difficult, I know) If you're at your computer more than usual it can be hard to resist though; try passing the time by surfing for a more cool site than this one. Chances are you won't find one, and when you return you'll find some reviews approved (or rejected...).
No doubt about it, though; new movies are "looked at" a lot faster, which makes a lot of sense.
The above probably doesn't help much, but I have to spend the time somehow!

Mine has 56 at the moment which is about a hundred less than last month. I've slowed down a lot lately, for some reason, most of the time, all I get is a blank when I try and think up new ones. I don't think 115 is bad, I wish I could come up with that many.

I have just over a hundred. I peaked a few weeks ago with nearly 150.
I noticed that benj was very busy over the weekend. Between Thursday and Sunday, several hundred reviews were approved. Only a couple were mine, but I suppose he'll get to the rest eventually.

I do try to review movies I've just seen, and I chase accolades too. It's rare for me to submit more than one review per film, but sometimes I do. Most of the other films I've reviewed are randomly selected from the "What Film?" balloon -- just so long as I've seen it or somehow "get" it, and then can come up with a good idea. Of my nearly 600 published reviews, no more than five were done first, before finding an appropriate movie. It's just not how my mind works. I don't much have the capacity -- usually -- to come up with these convoluted puns which seem to be all the rage lately.
My pending list peaked at 200. Not that many now. But even with that many pending, I regularly notice others zooming up the "charts" much faster than I do. It's partly because, as I've said, I tend not to do multiple reviews [that's helped other reviewers greatly of late]; partly because I only add new films to the site [another effective way to go to the top of the list] when I've actually just seen them; and partly because my batting average waxes and wanes, just like a hitter in baseball: sometimes I simply give Benj lousy submissions.
I tried very hard to publish an "I see..." pun which I rather liked, but Benj nixed it every time, even when I changed the film, which makes me suspect the identical review is somewhere else on the site -- I just haven't stumbled upon it.
