Many writer/director combos.<br /><br />I just want to meet a director who can take my stories and convert them into magic - no need for me to attempt directing. That's laughable.<br /><br />I did look him up - he worked on a lot of documentaries. I kind of see that in this film<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Tired of Previewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547292966196666855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919757000956089258.post-87297500029926682692011-05-09T17:05:12.397-04:002011-05-09T17:05:12.397-04:00I think this points to the recent phenomenon I cal...I think this points to the recent phenomenon I call W/DS (Writer/Director Syndrome), in which an as yet unproven "genius" with a pitch, a reputation, and a decent first ten pages is handed the keys to the shiny studio vehicle. Usually the kid, now terrified of the possible consequences of being behind the wheel for the first time, just drives a safe, pedestrian speed around the lot for a few minutes, then puts the car, the keys (and the audience) right back where he found them two hours earlier.<br /><br />Seriously, where the hell is the next Tarantino anyway?Bill Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833926896774325447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919757000956089258.post-68552240460344638492011-05-09T11:25:32.786-04:002011-05-09T11:25:32.786-04:00Heather - yes, I think there is a lawsuit regardin...Heather - yes, I think there is a lawsuit regarding the film. Names were changed but it is very easy to look up who the real people are.<br /><br />Scary movies do the same thing for me.

It seemed that the writers led us down a slippery slope without ever actually saying who did it - just making the implications of their own thoughts. <br /><br />It was okay - like you, I just didn't really care by the end. The writers didn't leave it up to us to make up our own minds - in fact, they let us know their thoughts quite clearly.<br /><br />I watched another movie after this one called The New Daughter (again on Netflix). I normally do not get scared by movies - but, OMG, my heart was pounding out of my chest, I was screaming at the TV and did not sleep at all last night because of it. For a Kevin Costner film - it was really good (if you like scary).Xxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834398241545152201noreply@blogger.com
