The Long Kiss Goodnight is one of my fav movies.<BR/><BR/>Koepp is a genius when it comes to blockbuster structure. And Carlito's Way rocks. Sure part of it goes to DePalma, my absolute fav. director of all time.<BR/><BR/>Helgeland is solid. He propably can modernize every piece of history.<BR/><BR/>Goldman is gold for every screenwriter. Everyone needs to read his books.<BR/><BR/>Paul Haggis is the next man! Yes, Million Dollar Baby made me angry and sad and relived at the end because it is what I want to do with my movies.<BR/><BR/>I like Joss Whedon too. And you can put him here because his "Serenity" is awesome!<BR/><BR/>You have to love Spielberg. He's mainly a director, but his scripts are great sentimental piece of cinema. You can see that especially in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".Thomas Ruferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508054737071594938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-80004002809847236212007-08-08T08:35:00.000-07:002007-08-08T08:35:00.000-07:00I also just got Haggis's In The Valley Of Elah and...I also just got Haggis's In The Valley Of Elah and are 25 pages into it this morningAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-15987942569045129442007-08-07T11:12:00.000-07:002007-08-07T11:12:00.000-07:00Hang on a second, what's wrong with THE MONSTER SQ...Hang on a second, what's wrong with THE MONSTER SQUAD? LAST ACTION HERO is a different story...several years ago there was a screening at the Arclight of the film which was followed by a discussion with story authors Zak Penn & Adam Leff. The two guys proceeded to rip apart the various creative choices that were made when the script was rewritten. It was fascinating, more like a seminar than a goofy Q&A. But Shane Black has an awesome house. <BR/><BR/>Also, PAYBACK was taken away from Brian Helgeland and about a third of it was reshot. He finally got to release his own version on DVD earlier this year and it's worth checking out. His version just feels more pure. <BR/><BR/>And THE LAST KISS was also a remake. But he worked on CASINO ROYALE, so he's ok with me.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-7182348533991712602007-08-06T14:21:00.000-07:002007-08-06T14:21:00.000-07:00if you want to read Haggi's Honeymoon With Harry, ...if you want to read Haggi's Honeymoon With Harry, e-mail me and I'll send it overAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-47111724188955260932007-08-05T10:54:00.000-07:002007-08-05T10:54:00.000-07:00Here's hoping!Here's hoping!Christian H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16847810167041864292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-56571553546286282942007-08-04T19:35:00.000-07:002007-08-04T19:35:00.000-07:00MAN ON FIRE is a remake of a Scott Glenn movie fro...MAN ON FIRE is a remake of a Scott Glenn movie from the 80s which was based on a book.<BR/><BR/>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093489/combined<BR/><BR/>Helgeland still rocks, tho. He does excellent work.<BR/><BR/>But if i were him, i'd kick Tony Scott in the nuts for almost fucking up a great script with his cappy camera & editing work. All that jumpiness undercut some great acting & emotional moments.<BR/><BR/>Good movie that could have been better if Scott wasn't so spazzy with his editing.<BR/><BR/>But I agree, we need some women and minorities on these fave screenwriter lists.Team Brindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617273530412639059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-32207751518496778532007-08-04T00:39:00.000-07:002007-08-04T00:39:00.000-07:00That's an excellent list, some cool works on it. ...That's an excellent list, some cool works on it.
