Shaun of the Dead II: Bravely Carrying On Where The Movie Ended But I Think It Should Have Kept Going And So I Wrote This Sequel

"Our hero wakes to the last day of his best friend. Suffering from the flu the other day and mixing a bottle of pills with a little too much to drink, the friend wakes up in the advance stages of rigamortis. Our guy, not wanting to kill his zombified best friend, has to deal with all the brutal killings that it has committed. He soon founds a nice project for his deaden friend.

Thinly veiled axe to grind much?

"Log Line: Like 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest', with a positive life-ending 'Sideways' type adventure. An Alzheimer’s patient finds his long lost first love living in the same retirement home and together they escape to Europe to seek their last slice of happiness before either of them forget who they are with.

Synopsis:
The story begins with a young man just out of law school who had a thing for a beautiful young woman and fellow classmate. She had reluctantly rebuffed him back then and she ended up having a difficult life, while he had a successful law career and marriage. Forwarding the story 60 years, he is now in his seventies, widowed and in the early stages of memory loss. His family decides it is best for him to live in a senior home for Alzheimer’s patients and as soon as he moves into the senior living home, he discovers his former flame living in the same senior care home. Their reunion is quite emotional and endearing. Figuring now, that they both have little quality of life remaining, he plots his escape plan for the two of them to get them out of the senior home and off to Europe. Planning ahead for his own security, he had kept his American Express credit card and is now ready to use it to fund the adventure in first class only, which is new to his companion. She soon gets into the opulent adventure and the conniving antics of the two traversing through European capitals, while staying one step ahead of their families and Interpol authorities provides a thrilling comedic adventure. They meet up with and be-friend an older Frenchman who happens to be recently retired from Interpol leadership. The hilarious Frenchman, along with his lively wife, take charge of the antics and are able to guide them through Southern Europe while avoiding the Interpol police. The four of them end up having a grand time in Paris, Marseilles, casino at Monte Carlo and then Rome before splitting up with the two going on alone to Venice where his son finds them, which was part of his planned ending all along. The message ending is one that indicates that older people, don't have to die in place, just because they are deteriorating. "

Pompousness will get you nowhere.

"I have recently completed studies at a film program where I studied filmmaking and screenwriting. After taking a year and a half to travel, shoot some short films, music videos, commercials, and work freelance for a couple of notable music publications, I have completed a screenplay that I believe to be consistent (or better) with the quality and style of the films being produced in hollywood today.

It is a twisting suburban Lynchian-thriller (not as pretentious as it sounds) that revolves around a man (title character) who sits down on his couch, only to stand up and be in the same apartment, two years later with no recollection of any lost time. The only clues as to where he was is a series of letters he sent his best friend and now engaged ex-girlfriend that are postmarked from far distant places claiming things that cannot possibly be true in any life, but the scars and the letters can't all be false. This is a film unlike those being churned out as of late. It's dark, intelligent, and demands the viewer's attention."

If they were Scientologists, they could just take vitamins and exercise and more auditing courses, and they probably would be just fine

"We have a young couple struggling with careers, a much-wanted pregnancy and the challenges of everyday life. The husband resorts to a clairvoyant to help him when once again he is pasted over for a promotion at work. What started with a simple consultation for him, results in the dramatic disclosure that his wife will die within 48 hours. Despite the clairvoyant's dire warning, the man embarks on a frantic pursuit to save his wife. During this time he is being exposed to dangerous situations that not only affect his wife's life but also his own life.

Each time he believes that he has saved his wife's life he goes back to see the clairvoyent only to be told that his wife is still going to die within the next few hours. So he continues his journey to save his wife's life. He believes he has saved his wife's life twice and he goes back to see the clairvoyent. This time is different because she cannot help him anymore. She also tells him that he cannot do anything else to change his wife's fate. He still doesn’t believe her and decides no matter what he will do everything he can to save his wife.

As the 48 hours deadline approaches, he gets more and more frantic and decides to come clean and tell his wife what has been going on. Much to his shock she too went to see the clairvoyent and received the very same prediction only he was the one who will die in 48 hours. Both parties have been racing around trying to protect each other without letting each other know about the imminent danger. Each one tries to maintain the facade if normal life. During this time situation goes from scary to oddly comical as each one goes to great length to save the other.

After seeing the 48 hours deadline approaching, they decide to go back to see the clairvoyent together and she tells them that there is no other option but to seek spiritual intervention and they have to convince the spirits they deserve a second chance."

I hate to burst your bubble, but...................

"A group of Louisville, Kentucky college students are looking to have some fun to celebrate the upcoming Halloween holiday. They have already been to all the haunted attractions in the area and found them to be quit boring. They come across an old Haunted House that is no longer in business and has been shut down for many years. However, they found it on the internet and have no clue as to were the place actually is located. One of the group memebers asks a fellow college student about the haunted house. This student is into haunted and creepy things. Unfortuneately for them he does know where it is located and strikes a deal with the guy to lead them up there. Once there they meet there worst nightmares. The Haunted House is no longer empty is contains all the workers that worked there, as well as some of the customers. Each worker was turned into what they were dressed as and begin to kill off the members of the group one by one. They fight for there survival as they unwillingly journy through the house.

I feel that my story is different from other haunted house stories because I include several different characters and creatures (such as zombies, vampires, demons, and werewolves) that would be found in a haunted house. I also included a few twists in the script to keep the veiwers attention and make the story more interesting. I hate to give away the ending but it is something that I have rarely, if ever, seen done before. As all horror movies show, the hero goes back to try and save the others. My main character does not. He feels no remorse for thier deaths and believes that it is not his fault but there own because they were the ones that wanted to go. He walks to his car calmly and unafraid and drives away. Also, the script was written to sort of tribute to other classic horror films. The names of the characters are based on the actor and character that were in the movie, or based on characters in the moive.

I tried to give each character a different personality and characteristics. There is a mixture of elements too. There is plenty of action and horror. As all horror movies have, but there is also comedy, romance and suspence."

Wow, and the Dodgers still suck (but they are better than the ANAHEIM Angels - think Blue!)

"Logline: This is a period drama, about a three-generation family of rabid Dodger fans, living in Flatbush, a stone's throw from Ebbets Field, during the eight days of the 1955 World Series -- the borough's first and only championship."

I detest this person's writing style.

"Log Line: A pale Adonis from Vermont seeks the sun of California where he intends to rob a metaphorical bank known as Hollywood.

Fame and fortune's a tough safe to crack and, next thing you know, people with real guns want to get into the act. Hollywood is where we meet our main guy, a man knocking softly on show business doors when he should be trying to break them down-a soul so handsome needn't be shy. He's asleep at the wheel with his pedestrian dream of being a mere comedian, though (when enters our leading lady), all that's about to change. Our gal slaps him across the face with a serendipitous love that swerves him into the passing lane of a road that was taking him nowhere and she tells him to get off at the next exit. She knows comedy (as her father runs a low rent school where he teaches the craft), and she doesn't believe her new love should have to settle for court jester when he could be a crown prince in the movies.

Not so fast. We need to slow down for some funny twists in the story and one of these sharp curves is engineered by a highwayman who's an architect of organized crime (not a mob movie). We have your typical captain of industry who thinks there's no such thing as something he can't have and (just our luck), he'd love to have the girl-he thinks the wannabe comedian doesn't need her anyway since he's obviously sleeping with another man. Oh, really? Miscommunications multiply until they're piled so high somebody could get hurt. The only question is: Who? Not to worry, in a Grand Finale Ending, everybody gets what they deserve."

"LOGLINE: As an adventurer attempts to smuggle a Komodo dragon to a Mexican sport-game farm, the beast breaks free in NYC and devours bystanders. In struggling to reclaim the dragon, the adventurer comes up against a cop who'd kill to keep the incident covered up.

SYNOPSIS: An adventurer in his twenties will go anywhere for a rush. And since he's getting low on cash, it doesn't hurt that he'll make a bundle for smuggling a Komodo dragon to a Mexican sport-game farm, where the international rich will pay handsomely to watch it devour its prey. He recruits two buddies who are also looking for kicks and a big payoff. One of the friends convinces an apartment super on the Upper East Side to let them use his storage space overnight. The three plan to leave early before anyone sees the dragon. That becomes impossible when the dragon gets loose and starts eating people.

A tough NYC cop tries to keep a lid on the carnage while keeping the story hushed-up. Though he promises the trio safe conduct out of town after they successfully tranquilize the dragon, he secretly enlists a former CIA hit man to help him ambush the boys and the dragon. He doesn't know, however, that the adventurer is also an expert marksman. The CIA man and the two friends all die in the bloody shootout.

The lieutenant plunges his APC into the Hudson River. The adventurer saves him from drowning in exchange for being kept out of the police report. Meanwhile, the dragon slips out of the truck during the shooting and slides into the Hudson. Lance sees the dragon surfacing on a vacant pier, and he deftly blocks the lieutenant's view of the animal. As the lieutenant exits to return to his office and face his own problems, our man vows to continue his pursuit of the beast."

Good thing CONSTANTINE comes out on DVD this week.

"LOGLINE: A woman must enter a dark and twisted version of her city in order to rescue her daughter from a trio of ruthless ghosts.

A woman and her daughter have a rare ability to find doors to the netherworld, a kind of purgatory that's like a dark and barren version of the city. This talent makes them valuable in the netherworld. After some ghostly slave traffickers kidnap the daughter, the mother must brave the dangers of the Necropolis to rescue her daughter. Her one advantage in this is that the kind of people who prefer to remain in Hell's halfway house rather than move on to whatever comes next are the kind of people who sell each other out when they can gain the slightest advantage."

No pictures, please. I believe they will steal my soul.

"This is a "Hitchcockian" tale of voyeurism and obsession, exploring the erosion of privacy and the vagaries of the art world.

He is acclaimed for taking surreptitious, often provocative, photographs of people in their apartments from a high purview, becomes obsessed with a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his dead wife. He slowly becomes aware that he too is being photographed, leading him into a complex web of mystery and murder."

Nebbish Man has come to save the day!

"LOGLINE:
An un-heroic nebbish has superpowers he uses solely for cheating at the casinos. But when a demented televangelist holds his gambling buddies hostage, it's up to him to be the hero.

SYNOPSIS:
Our man has superpowers, but he's no hero. He's an insecure guy who happens to have sporadic invulnerability, x-ray vision, super hearing and super speed... but he's barely strong enough to open a jar of pickles. What's more, his superpowers can fail him at any time, and he's hopelessly vulnerable to the sound of High C Major -- as in any Mariah Carey big ending.
With all the constraints on his superpowers, he regards himself as a freak of nature. He makes his living by cheating at gambling, and he steers clear of the traditional superhero vocation of saving people. But that doesn't mean he wants to hurt anybody. So when a demented televangelist kidnaps his two best friends and tries to pressure him to cause a deadly disruption in a Vegas casino, he is forced into unfamiliar territory. Somehow he must figure out how to harness his balky powers to become a genuine hero."

"This script is about 3 teenage (16, 15, and 14) girls who struggle to save an abused NYC carriage horse, a former show champion, and help him regain his former glory. Along the way, they have to overcome the horse’s own injuries, a hansom cab driver’s drinking problems, and a hit man for the former owner who has already collected insurance money. It is a story with heart that has the appeal of SEABISCUIT, RACING STRIPES, and other Disney-type stories featuring humans and animals overcoming adversity."
