Project Greenlight Update:

PGL selected the TOP 50 scripts recently. OK, here are the writer's summary's for three of the four scripts that I reviewed. None of these made it to the TOP 250. I hated one of them, and I liked the other two.

Completed Screenplay Reviews

Title: Starving Cat Canyon
Logline: An accidental visitor to a family that's ensnared in sex, drugs and revenge tries to save a beautiful young girl from the dark love of her mysteriously vanished guardian.

Title: Getting the Hell Out of Dodge
Logline: In this dark comedy, Elizabeth just wanted to get away for a while. She ended up in a town called Dodge. Little did she know, that getting away, was not nearly as hard as getting back.

Logline: A man overhears the woman of his dreams make a bet with her friend to follow her horoscope for six days, proving to her that it will change her life. The guy then inserts himself into her daily horoscopes to make it seem that they are destined to be together.

And this is the one screenplay that I reviewed which made it to the Top 250:

Title: Billy Kitsch
Logline: Billy Kitsch is about two down and out record executives in London, England, irrigardless of the quality of records they release, success continues to elude them. Then, they brainstorm an outrageous idea in one last desperate attempt for success, and an outlandish comedic journey begins to unfold beyond their control.

And of course this was mine:
