CR 2014 Darrell J Banks

When I wrote for suite101.com I would often write some critical things, well maybe.

Real critics can usaually be found at the major  papers. See the link below.

Since this is still Oscar season, I will write about a few of the scripts It tried to finish.

Lone  Survivor is like reading any of the Rambo scripts.

I might see Saving Mr. Banks having recently found the original  DVD of Mary Poppins. But that depends on my writing schedule. The script is 120 Pages. Fruitvale may be a better investment or Rush.

I saw Fruitvale months ago. A great character story. Because most people who go see this film know the ending.  How do you take your protagonist show him at his best and worse and make the audience sympathetic to him.  You surround him with a great cast.

One movie  script I will read before March 2 is American Hustle

Remember Character is always the central theme.
