A review of Winter of the Wolf

by owen1 on 08/24/2007

First up, congratulations on writing a well structured genre movie. All acts were present and correct and it reads like a good piece if a little by the numbers. I have two main complaints and suggestions. Firstly you need to keep your secrets better. By page 10 i had a more than high suspicion that Nicholas was the wolf. The one eye on the gravestone and the one eye of the... read

solid piece of work

A review of Thieves And Liars

by owen1 on 10/26/2005

While this film is set in a genre that I'm not a great fan of (not since Guy Ritchie started making movies anyway) I must say that I enjoyed this script. It was fast-paced and not a single scene was unhelpful to the plot. Big Lebowski springs to mind with the structure. I was sad to see Gunner go but only because he was an enjoyably wild character. It is important for the sacrifice... read

Needs some work but shows promise

A review of In the Meantime

by owen1 on 10/19/2005

It was really difficult to pick the genre for this film but family drama seems the best way to describe it. With this in mind I have a suggetion which you can take or leave and that is expand the mother part, cut back Charles part a bit and make it about each charcater as much as the next one. At the moment the film is about Charles and Angela, as far as I can see, with subplots... read

Very good but .....aaargh that ending!

A review of According To Plan

by owen1 on 10/18/2005

This was a thoroughly enjoyable well structured script. I really liked the way you hinted at plotpoints and then flipped the script, (e.g prison massage) to use an apt phrase. For an ensemble piece there weren't too many parts (i believe 12 named parts) but this worked in your favour to keep the script tight and reasonably short. But I can't get my head around the ending... read

Congratulations on a fantastic script.

A review of An Unnatural Soldier (Rev 4)

by owen1 on 10/12/2005

I can quite easily say this is by far the best script I have read on triggerstreet. From the wonderfully lyrical opening through to the emotional ending I was completely hooked. It has obviously been very well researched with care and a love of the material that inspired it. The imagery of the battle scenes is vivid and the feel reminded me very much of Cold Mountain. (I'm... read

sweet if slightly too generic

A review of Wife Coach

by owen1 on 10/11/2005

This was a very, quick easy read. Humourous in places without ever being hysterically funny. My main problem with the script was the ending, it never once suprised me. From page 5 I thought Pete was going to end up with either Marian or Cassie and this idea never once left my head until the conclusion. Yes I realise its a standard rom-com, and a well written tight one, but... read

A review of The New Thirty

by owen1 on 08/16/2005

first up, i really enjoyed reading this which is usually the most important thing. Full of well rounded characters. Especially Evelyn who was a fantasticly strong character. Her put downs at the start and end were consistantly funny and clever, but i would consider re-writing her 'jealous section'. she seems to flip from laughing about Micheal's mid-life crisis to being... read

voice over review

A review of Voice Over

by owen1 on 08/02/2005

straight off, a very solid piece of writing, especially structure wise. a nice amount of satire along the lines of Altman's The Player, although maybe the obvious dig at keanu and johnny neumomic could be left out. This may seem like a strange statement to make but i wasn't too impressed with the use of 'voice-over' for Ted/PJ in the early scenes. it reminded me too much of... read
