I used to like the reviews set-up in the UK film mag "Shock Xpress" - they'd have a review rounnd-up (giving each film a rating of 0-5 from each SX writer), then each SX staffer would have a bunch of films to review themselves. Needless to say, the negative reviews were usually the funniest (Troma films were given regular shoeings, as I recall, but my own favourite was for "Godzilla 1985", where the publisher gave it a thumbs up, whilst the editor said something alone the lines of "20 minutes of inept hilarity, followed by 70 minutes of sheer boredom". Eeh, them were the days...
