Good work.

A review of highway ditty

by Harrylime49 on 12/11/2004

Although the mysterious hitch hicker story isn't original I did enjoy watching this short. First of all, I thought the camera work was excellent. The lighting too was very atmospheric and the creepy incidental music really worked to create a dangerous mood. The acting was spot on also. If only the director could find himself an original concept to work with, I think he'd have... read

Entertaining

A review of Arachnotelephonophobia

by Harrylime49 on 12/11/2004

Great short film. Full of energy and imagination. Very funny too. Parts of it reminded me of Peter Jackson's first feature, Bad taste, especially the final shots where Grandma has her scalp sliced. Strong story with an excellent resolution. I can see why the director won first prize at University. Best of luck.

A touch of class

A review of A Touch of Noir

by Harrylime49 on 12/05/2004

Snappy lines and sexy femme fatales are usually what people imagine when film noir is mentioned. But greed, lust and obsession are the staple ingrediants which really drive these movies. A touch of Noir has them. I thought the script's characters were excellent, especially Wally who couldn't stop insulting people. Johnny Noir too is convincing as the world weary, but... read

Captures the mood

A review of Glimmers of Darkness -- Revised, yet again

by Harrylime49 on 12/04/2004

Great atmospheric opening. I thought I'd stumbled across a long, lost James Whale script:. It had everything: Lightening, thunder, a preacher and a hangin! The writer plants his images very well into the readers mind. I have to say I did enjoy reading this screenplay. The characters were solid and believeable throughout. Their dialogue was tight and never dull. It's... read

Needs work

A review of CSFT

by Harrylime49 on 12/03/2004

I found this script very hard to follow at times. I felt there were too many characters and too much going on at once to really hold my interest. The basic concept is a good one; a nightmarish future where corporate America has finally overstepped her boundaries. A future where anyone can be branded terrorist if the corporations feel it's in their interests. The writer... read

Good read

A review of Eidolon

by Harrylime49 on 12/03/2004

Great opening sequence. The bleeding purse threw me at first but certainly hooked my interest. Good overall concept. A serial killer killing to complete a geographical pattern. Usually, the culprit is either caught or killed before their plan comes to fruition. Not with Ron's script. All Hell does break loose. The writer has a vivid imagination and I'm pretty sure he... read

Convincing

A review of THE SURVIVAL INSTINCT

by Harrylime49 on 12/02/2004

Good story. Brad has done a great job with Eileen. She struck me as very convincing. Post traumatic stress can be a devastaing illness and I felt the writer had captured all those feelings of detatchment, anger and guilt so well with Eileen. I didn't like her much at first. The writer took a risk making her so raw so soon but it paid off. Asthe script develops, we learn... read

Moving work

A review of The Jeweler's Wife

by Harrylime49 on 12/01/2004

I found the Jeweler's wife a powerful piece of writing. I warmed to Ruben at once as the old, cantankerous rebel who stood up to his captors. Young Mara's introduction was a great early twist too. Posing more questions than answers, her unexpected appearance immediately grabbed my attention. We share a secret withMara. We know there are no resettlement camps, only death... read

Great climax

A review of Unholy

by Harrylime49 on 11/27/2004

Despite the glaring typo's that unfortunately litter this script, I really enjoyed reading it. The characters were all well drawn and the plot was unpredictable enough to keep you guessing. I thought the unholy union between a vampire and an angel was a great idea. I have to admit that I found Alexs's slow decomposition and his girlfriends increasingly hysterical reaction... read

Does the job

A review of Eight Point Devil (Revised)

by Harrylime49 on 11/26/2004

I thought the leading characters were excellent. Dawson in particular was very believable. From his first appearance I found myself rooting for him. His initial vunerability was very touching. Because of DawsonI really wanted to follow this story through. The gang of bikers were also impressive. These guys were the real deal: Big, loud and lacking in conscience. From now on... read
