  SIMPLE IS DIFFICULT
  A review of IN LOVE AND WAR (rev 2)
  by tomcorradini on 09/26/2007
  I read this script non-stop. It is quite light and simple in its structure and I would like the author to take it as a compliment. That's because simplicity is something quite hard to achieve. Beginners in every art form tend to complicate things and I must say that is the simplicity and flow of this script which I found attractive. The story flows. It kind of reminded me "The... I read this script non-stop. It is quite light and simple in its structure and I would like the author to take it as a compliment. That's because simplicity is something quite hard to achieve. Beginners in every art form tend to complicate things and I must say that is the simplicity and flow of this script which I found attractive. The story flows. It kind of reminded me "The Eye of the Needle". Somehow, the prospect of a quasi-like terrorist attack on mainland America by a group of nazi-infiltrates seems more linked to the current political mood than based on hard historical facts. Maybe, it makes the whole thing more up to date and believable. Maybe it doesn't. Hard to say.
  
  As I try to imagine the movie you've written running in my mind I see two good things: economy of locations (good from a production point of view) and economy in cast (not too many actors).
  
  The only thing which I found "out of tune" is the importance given in the story of the figures of Joey and Beth. It might have been better to put less emphasys on this couple. I think they sort of steal the scene from the two main characters of the film.
  
  Overall a pleasent script. Well written. Story centered. And, I think, an unexpensive movie to shoot. With some good directing it could be a rewarding experience. Keep it up. read

  Too cold to get to Ice Age
  A review of Fable_Revised
  by tomcorradini on 11/19/2006
  I figure that this script it's targeted for a cartoon or some kind of 3-d animation product. At first, I'd say that this is not exactly my favorite genre and that therefore my comment is not be totally unbiased. However, I must say that I like cartoons, and I like 3-d animation films. What I didn't find involving in this reading is the fact that, first of all, there wasn't... I figure that this script it's targeted for a cartoon or some kind of 3-d animation product.

  However, I must say that I like cartoons, and I like 3-d animation films. What I didn't find involving in this reading is the fact that, first of all, there wasn't any comedy in it. It felt something like a mixture between Lord of the Rings (the quest for the missing rune sort of resembles the quest to get to Mount Doom in order to destroy the Ring) and Harry Potter (with these fantastic animals and their bizarre names).
  I am not sure whether this script could engage a large audience. I didn't find it catchy. At times it had the feeling it followed the structure of a videogame. Granted it does have some nice cinematic action scenes but why would someone want to see a movie like this? What is it that you want to show? I couldn't get it from the reading. There is something missing, problem is I don't know what it is. Lots of luck anyway. read

  TOO LONG FOR A SHORT, TOO SLOW FOR A LONG
  A review of Summers 88

  I won't be commenting about the format and the look of your script because I have a feeling much has been already said about it. So let me just go straight to the story.

I won't be commenting about the format and the look of your script because I have a feeling much has been already said about it. So let me just go straight to the story. In a way it would make a good short feature. If you were to cut completely the dialogue and just emphasize some key scenes this whole construction really looks like a short belonging to the nostalgic "life was much simpler and cleaner when we were adolescents" stream. As a full length feature it lacks some key elements: characters are kind of flat and speak in a monotonous way (there are no major arguments or rows - something that makes dialogue more exciting - no conflicts apart from an endless stream of digressions about their daily routines), there is no major inciting event involving the main character Andrew . In other words, nothing is happening. I'd have problems even categorizing this script in order to fit it inside a particular genre. It's just look kind of romantic and kind of nostalgic but it doesn't have any strong backbone. I know it must have taken you some effort to put together all of this work. Consider it the ford all writers have to cross in order to get to the bank of marketable scripts. read
