  Rick, the review on Betrayed is appreciated. That's probably the best compliment anyone's ever said to me. Of course, the story being better than the script is what we all strive for, considering this will be watched and not read by the audience! Nice! Thanks again! Jeff

  Hi Rick,
  Unfortunately, Scotland's dismal attempts in the six nations championship have left me bitter and twisted. Hope to read your re-writes tho. Keep me informed, I'd be happy to read it again.
  All the best, Lee.

  No prob Rick.
  Let me know when you post a new script, or if you rewrite "Blood Kiss."

  Review of Boudicca
  
  Thanks for your time and review.
  
  Interestingly this was my first script, but as Mel Gibson’s company Icon is making a version of Boudicca’s story this script has now become just an exercise.

  
  
  Nice job with a first script, it read well. I used to really like Mel Gibson, but he seems to be moving a little closer to the deep end of things.

  I have to question your statement, “It also deviates a bit from actual history”. I spent a long time researching and visited many of the places involved in her story. As a historian, I paid considerable attention to the facts as they are known, as well as the two Roman journals that relate the tale.

  
  
  The first think that hit me wrong was the names of the daughters. I didn't remember the names I'd heard, but Victoria is a Latin name and Eugene is definitely not Celtic. I did a quick search, and the only names I found for the girls are Celtic. Sorry, it just hit me a little off at the beginning.
  
  I thought I remember the size of the army being historically inflated to make the Romans seem more valiant, and that she poisoned herself after losing. Nothing real big, and with the amount of research you did, I would probably defer to you.

  I work with a group of Welshmen (in Texas of all places) and they complain bitterly about the historical problems with Braveheart.
  
  I hope you continue writing, and just because Gibson is going to do a mega-movie about Boudicca, don't scrap your research. His movie may actually create interest in related stories that could be done on a budget. Maybe tell the story from Meurig's perspective. He would be a very sympathetic character - his bride defiled but he marries her anyway, true love. His quest for revenge, standing by Boudicca. I think it could be interesting.
  
  All the best!

  Review of Boudicca
  
  Thanks for your time and review.
  
  I feel you highlighted some points that need attention and I agree with your point about the talking heads at the beginning.
  
  Interestingly this was my first script, but as Mel Gibson’s company Icon is making a version of Boudicca’s story this script has now become just an exercise.
  
  I agree with that descriptions of the brutality may be a bit harsh and especially the puppy scene, but I wanted to show it as it was and it was brutal times.
  
  I have to question your statement, “It also deviates a bit from actual history”. I spent a long time researching and visited many of the places involved in her story. As a historian, I paid considerable attention to the facts as they are known, as well as the two Roman journals that relate the tale.
  
  What I didn’t want was a script with the inaccuracies as portrayed in Braveheart.
  
  Piers Gaveston was exiled at the time of Edward’s death and was hacked to death in the grounds of Warwick Castle a few years later.
  
  Isabella, arrived in England the week of her marriage, several months after the death of Edward.
  
  Gloucester was killed at the battle of Bannock Burn, again after Edward’s death.
  
  But it made good cinema.
  
  Good luck with your own projects.
  
  Ron
