Ten Films I think I Could Have Written Better.

1. Zac and Miri Make a Porno. The premise was good; there was some good humour, a few good sight gags. I would have built the tension between them more. I did like how he was not a classic beauty, shall we say. But the dénouement was just too quick and predictable—it could be really good (if I wrote it).
2. Paranormal Activity. It was, all in all, quite scary, but I think the editing maybe could have been tighter. Being the expert that I am, of course, this is a more than valid observation.
3. Legion—although, if you look at it from the point of view of trying to achieve everything they seemed to be wanting to achieve (a biblical blockbuster where God becomes disillusioned and needs to be brought back to his love of humanity by the Archangel Michael; a shoot-‘em-up action movie; and; a way to set up for Legion II), it may be harder to re-write than I thought. Personally, keep it simple(r) would be my approach. 4. Now You See Me. This had so much potential but it was missing some vital motivations, some essential backgrounds, some satisfying resolutions and some powerful female roles. This has the potential to be amazing in the right hands. Are those mine?
