I would take advantage of the script sites (zoetrope.com, triggerstreet.com, cinefuse.com) as places to present your writing and get comments upon them

part of the requirement before posting your mnaterial is to read the scripts of others. This is the best way to get a feel for what you may want to do and how to do it well
Reply:As a writer my self...I say write something that your comfortable with...Granted taking risks some time pays off big but ...Do you feel is right and dont second guess your self ....they wont know it went wrong unless you tell them

Movie with creepy cab driver?

It's bugging me...there is a movie where the main character(s) get into a cab, and the driver is a creepy looking red head- he's evil looking and his face is pretty "warped". I thought it was carrot top (made to be even uglier) but it wasn't. The driver only appears 2x in this movie...once was in the streets. Both times he looks almost demonic. Does anyone know the movie? It was maybe 5-6 years ago? I think the movie had kind of a creepy feeling over all and the driver just enhanced it. Not sure…this is all I remember!

It Might be good to Invite Both boyfriend and Girlfriend.

Change your plans and Invite someone else.

Pop some Popcorn and have all kind of goodies like they have at the movie theater
Reply:invite the girlfiend too.

Reply:Why don't you just invite the girlfriend too? That way everyone would be happy.

Good movies? The Green Mile is a great movie. You could go action and get a Spiderman movie or the new Batman or Superman.
Reply:'When Harry Met Sally'.
Reply:I wouldn't invite his gf unless he wants her to come. He might like doing something without her for once. You may think about inviting another guy to balance it out if he wants to bring her.

Nacho Libre is a funny movie.

Rat Race (the later release) makes for a funny rental too.

Reply:Scary Movie 1,2%26amp;3
Reply:No it's not wrong to invite him if he is your friend

Watch "The Children of Men"
Reply:I don't think it's wrong for you to invite him but if he feels like it will upset his girlfriend then let him make that decision. I would suggest a comedy for a movie.
Reply:personally i am a huge fan of titanic. also that movie is adored by guys and girls. i think that would be a wonderful movie. it is pg13 but it shows a woman naked (showing the breast not the private are but it does in a painting)

if you want to invite the guy you can. but depends what you are going to do with him. if u plan on making out and all then probaly invite his girlfriend or dont invite him at all. if it is just to hang out then i think it will be ok
Reply:have him bring his girlfriend, she shouldn't be alienated just because she hasn't been your personal friend

movies? Caddyshack, Fletch, Spies Like us, Apocalypse Now Redux in surround sound
Reply:Maybe Dream Girls...just an idea
Reply:Lucky Number Sleven, Ocean's 11 and/or 12
Reply:Well if ur inviting that one boy to ur "movie night" you should invite his girlfriend too so that she knows nothing bad is goin on...

for ur second question... i think you should get the movie "telidega nights" ita a very very funny movie...

also you should get "you me and dupree" i heard its pretty funny...
Reply:First off it shouldn't be wrong to invite someone who has a girlfriend unless you were planing on doing more than watch a movie. As for a movie I think the movie Accepted is ******' hilarious.
Reply:Accepted, Waiting..., Click, Employee of the Month, American Dreamz (actually spelled with the z), Clue, The Baxter, Titan AE
Reply:well it's not wrong it's just a movie night and it's not like you two are going alone.. and pick something that everyone likes... don't pick ahead of time just ask for everyone's vote or something
Reply:Watch IT and The Hills Have Eyes
Reply:i would say it is fine, to have that guy because it isnt like he is the only guy there.. good movies: american pie, accepted, 40 year old virgin, weding crashers, mean girls ( ok even the guys like this one!),

HAVE FUN!
Reply:I think its appropriate to invite your couple friends. It might be relaxing for the single people to use them if they are uncomfortable around the one youre hooking them up with. As for the movie you should do a comedy(not a romantic comedy it's rough on the guys), nothing too serious or it may bring up contraversial conversation. Super Troopers, Waiting, or Scary Movie 4. Something new might not allow people to talk.
Reply:The guy with the girlfriend should NOT be invited--unless his girlfriend is welcome, too. If you are attempting to "hook-up" with him yourself, you're actually using your friends to do so.

Think about this...if he was YOUR boyfriend, how would you feel if he went to a party of any kind without you? And...if he accepted your invitation and came to the party, is he REALLY the kind of boyfriend you want for yourself?

Choices for movies are a bit easier. I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions, but "Taladega Nights (The ballad of Ricky Bobby)" was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.
Reply:It's not wrong to invite that guy first off. Well A good movie for biys and girls would be Clerks 2 (that movie is so ******** funny) and Maybe Little Man.

A good horror movie?

Can anyone suggest a good horror movie? I'll tell you what I like and have seen and what I don't like...

Loved the thing, an american werewolf in london, bram stoker's Dracula, The Lost Boys, The Fly, The Howling. Liked the underworld movies, Blade I %26amp; II, Hellboy, invasion of the body snatchers.

I dislike movies like SAW, hostel, devil's rejects and such.

I like zombie movies and japanese horror movies (but I've seen tooo many of these), but if you've seen one you've seen all, so unless it's super original and cool, don't mention it.

Also, I don't like the hide and seek, and see no evil type...

I like when the movie relies more on story and/or action than in violence or gore and blood.

Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

A good horror movie?
seriously skip the remake of the Haunting... it takes camp and cheese to unsatisfying levels. The original one is by far the way to go.

You say you like Japanese horror... how about Korean? I just watched "The Host" today and bad dubbing aside, it was a fairly decent flick with a few jump moments. It is a monster movie and features a little gore... but it is more character driven than shock fest.

Reply:I've always liked "The Exorcist"

Rear Window is pretty good too - though I'm not sure I'd classify it as a true horror flick. There's a gray area between horror and thriller. You really can't go wrong with Hitchcock.
Reply:It's not really a true horror, but I like "The Hunger". It has David Bowie, Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in it. Plus it has fantastic music. Slow moving, but very good.
Reply:The original "The Haunting". Someone mentioned the 1999 remake. Forget it and go get the black-and-white original, with Julie Harris.

I first saw this on TV, over two nights, with commercial interruptions, and I was still scared silly! There is no blood, and no special effects. It's all in the mind, and they never show what's causing the haunting. And that's the reason it works -- because whatever any horror movie shows you, it's never as powerful as what your imagination can conjure up.

Based on the book by Shirley Jackson, this is truly the benchmark by which all other "horror" movies are rated.

Forget slasher movies -- they leave nothing to the imagination and are not scary, only nauseating. Zombie movies speak to our fears, but in the end it's still just some rotting bodies. We all die in the end, and there's no horror in that.
Reply:ok...you like underworld and blade but you don't like Saw? i understand that they are completely different types of movies,but i mean come on....the Saw movies may suck, but i'm pretty sure that they are much better than underworld and blade.

but anyway, theres always Resident Evil:Extinction, thats coming out soon...it looks like a really sucky movie but it looks like its gonna have a lot of action.(hey,it has zombies in it...who doesn't like zombies?)

there really isn't any horror movie today that is good. Maybe you should try fantasy or something else. Start with Pan's Labyrinth,that movie has a great story and it has a really dark tone.
Reply:Try An American Haunting. It is the true story of John Bell and his family. It is the only documented case where a spirit causes the death of a man. It stars Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. It isn't bloody or gory, but certainly scary. Andrew Jackson was reported to say that he would rather take on the entire English Fleet rather than stay one night in the Bell house.
Reply:My favorite Zombie movies old:

1) Dawn of the Dead -1978 original considered the best one by most die hard fans

2) Night of the Living Dead- 1968 original in black and white

3)Day of the Dead- Early 1985- Romero (the director of all three) stated this was his favorite one. I agree

Out of the New zombie movies and remakes

1) 28 weeks Later- 2007- English director Danny Boyle did a very good job. Might want to see the first one titled "28 days later" done in 2003

2) Dawn of the Dead -remake 2004. A few different twists and homages to the original

3) Day of the Dead is to remade sometime in 2007

You will probably like the newer ones because they are more action movies. The older ones consist more of character development and the basic theme that humans can't coexist together. They are a little more gorier too.

The Haunting (1999)

A remake of the classic 1963 movie "The Haunting" about a team of paranormal experts who look into strange occurrences in an ill-fated house. Through the course of the night some will unravel, some will question, and all will fight for their lives as the house fights back. Written by PofRules

Eleanor Lance is called to meet at Hill House for Dr. Marrow's sleeping disorder studies, along with three other people. The owners of the house tell them that no one will be around and that they won't be able to hear them. The first night they all sit around and talk. Eleanor tells them that her sleeping disorder is different because she can sleep it is just that she wakes up because she thinks her dead mom is still living with her. Well that isn't the case now because she is woken one night in the Hill House bedroom by talking childrens voices asking her for her help. At first scared by the voice, she learns to avoid them. Later, the group finds out that Dr. Marrow is not using them for sleeping disorders but a test in fear. The fear is first thought to be fake but eventually turns real when loud noises are heard and objects start to move. Now they must try an escape the house before they are all killed. Written by Kyle
