Competition reminder

Dear esteemed readers. Just a quick reminder that the review competition ends midnight Friday. I’m cutting and pasting the rules below:

This week, I am soliciting reviews for: The Beaver, Fast Five and Water for Elephants. If you have seen any of those and have a tale to tell write in and I’ll post the best of each if they are half way decent.

Rules:

1. Maximum 500 words please.

2. No illustrations – I’ll find images if needed.

3. Avoid all the cursing and the naughty words please.

4. Deadline is next Friday (May 27th) midnight.

5. Use your review to make a clear argument about the movie. Don’t give us a plot synopsis, make your case clearly why we should or shouldn’t go see it and try and focus on why things work or don’t in screenwriting terms. Character development, story and plot structure, dialogue and so forth are more important than how cool the explosions are.

6. By submitting an entry you agree for your work to be published on this blog under your name, but without payment of any kind. You also agree to allow me to edit the material as necessary. 

7. Send your submissions to: hoxter@sfsu.edu
