‘Prince of Denmark is an interesting twist on the famous ‘Hamlet; and even though ambitious, it doesn’t totally succeed in engaging the audience as much as expected. But, the ensemble do all produce solid performances’
‘Benedicta not only proves the true talents of independent cinema, however the true acting crops of Felicity Huffman and Finn Witrock. Despite some pacing issues, the film is defiantly one to watch’
‘I’m On Fire demonstrates an intelligent twist on the the ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’ moral. The chemistry between Gleeson and Foy is one that has been untouched by any duo in this competition’
‘One Life may just many different interesting perspectives on the current festive season, however this venture occasionally created inconsistency with story and lack of centralisation of characters. Even though the cast maybe overflowing, T. Pheto gives a standout performance as the loving, but struggling mother’.
‘For Better or Worse is a pure and clear Oscar bait and is done very beautiful, however the complexity of the subject matter may pose to be slightly confusing to some audiences. Both V. Farmiga and K. McKidd are very good’.
‘The Deep Pan is short, sweet and defiantly enjoyable, however it’s length poses some pacing issues that truly effect the film’s final result. Expansion would have benefited this potentially awesome piece. But, it’s creativity is something admirable and hopefully we will rewarded this month’.
‘Hatchet: The Hunt is the final instalment in the acclaimed series as it is rather bitter sweet, as this is clearly that the best of the bunch. Wiggins gives an Oscar-worthy performance that should defiantly be recognised. Even though, some potential character development may have been neglected, this final end will be defiantly be remembered.
‘Halo 2 may succeed in quality over it’s previous instalment, however the film’s overflowing sense of information seems to occasionally confuse audiences. However, still it is a thrill-seeking and fun ride audience should defiantly not miss out on taking’.
‘The Giants defiantly succeeds in creating something special. An emotional, coming of age story that doesn’t disappoint. The cast is solid, particularly G.MacIntosh who most certainly should be celebrated this month’.
‘Liberation may have pacing struggles, however it’s heartfelt and emotion nature really wins you over. Sandra Bullock, an audience favoruite certain delivers.’
‘Take Me To Church distinguishes itself as a clear Oscar bait and definitely deals with some interesting twists on the subject of sexuality, however it’s advertised religious aspect is rather camouflaged and slightly unapparent. However, Michael Shannon produces a fine performance that should most certainly receive celebration and attention’
‘Yellow Fever may lack baitiness, but it makes it up in pure passion and emotional investment by author Matthew Jenner. The cast is stellar and despite not particularly being an typical Oscar winner, it should defiantly be in the race’.

First wave. I'll post the rest later.
"Take Me to Church" written by Evan Peck Dunbar
I’m quite disappointed by the subject matter, because once again in a religious nature, we are dealing with gay issues. That’s barely happens in real life. Of course Hollywood is trying to make us believe it is, but as someone close for the actual topic by living among these people, I experience way different stuff. As a theologian student, I’m very critical about religious stuff in our contest and this bait is quite unrealistic for me.
"Benedicta" written by Matthew Joseph Jenner
I wouldn’t consider this bait for the Best Picture prize, but the acting of Felicity Huffman is pure gold. I had trouble imagine Finn’s younger versions as you haven’t casted actors for the parts and the whole plot is a bit messed up for a real life movie for me. Once again, it is indeed a nice actress-vehicle for Huffman.
"Hatchet: The Hunt" written by Evan Peck Dunbar
I’m really surprised by this one. I’m a big supporter of the Hatchet Series, but this is probably not only the best out of four movies, but one of your best, too. It will get tons of nominations on my Oscar ballot for sure.
"I’m On Fire" written by Matthew Joseph Jenner
It’s well-written and complex. I always admire that you can do such different stories each freakin’ months. At first I had some issues with your cast, but then you convinced me that they are worthy in their parts. Carrie Coon is particularly very interesting. The bait is probably among the best this month. |

BAITS BY EVAN:
Take Me to Church
I am so conflicted on this bait. I do honestly think the whole gay/Christianity issue is very overblown, and being of quite devout religion myself, and knowing a great many people spread across the religious spectrum in South Africa, a formerly incredibly conservative country, I have never come across the massive homophobia that films seem to enjoy convincing us exist. Right now, it seems like it is just the Westboro Baptist Church who take the homosexual intolerance route, and considering how loving the family in this bait is, I doubt they would react in that way. I think you are a fantastic writer, but I somehow feel like you took the title of the song and built a bait around it, and unfortunately it felt a little contrived, as the "intolerant family member who becomes tolerant at the end" narrative is too taut right now. I also think the church is being seen in very negative light, particularly my own denomination of Catholic, with the entire homosexuality hatred and molestation charges, which I am happy to say that exists in only about 10% of Catholic churches now (although it shouldn't exist at all). But to the point, I just wish it was better thought-out and more original, like the amazing Godless last month.
C
Hatchet: The Hunt
THIS is what I was talking about when I said you are a great writer. Emotionally, this is probably one of your best. Trilogies are tricky, and Marci demonstrated a brilliantly concise and consistent trilogy. You have proved that your quadrology (is that the right word?) of Hatchet is one of the best ever as well. It was a brilliant way to wrap up this saga, and you really showed a great deal of passion in this one. I really enjoyed it, and I think this may be the best part of the saga, and hopefully it can break into Best Picture, but with the great writing you exhibited here, I wouldn't be surprised
A+
The Giants
All I can say is...finally haha. You have been teasing this project I think since I joined the contest last year. I have to say I am impressed with how good you are at adapting these brilliant European masterpieces. This is probably your best adaptation so far, and you manage to realize how in these European films, they are very much Monte Hellman-type cathartic films that are sticky and long and relaxing with less plot and more emotions. I thought you did a great job here, and while it obviously can't live up to Lanners' masterpiece, it is a great bait that we have come to expect from you

Just A Little Bit Different
The story of the man named Trent who adopted the name Vanessa Vogue is one that is very inspirational and very interesting. These type of stories can be quite overwrought and intense, so basing it on a true story is the best way to go. I think Armie Hammer is a very interesting choice for the lead role, and I am sure it would be quite something to see him in this. However, the true star of this bait is Patton Oswalt, who is much too underrated. The role of Veronica York could've been given a lot more to do, considering Ebert was submitted for awards consideration. Overall, a solid bait
B
Step by Step
When you said this one was long, you weren't kidding. However, it is a good bait that despite jumping around a bit too much, and being a little uneven in places, was anchored by great performances by Saoirse Ronan and Susan Sarandon. The open-ended conclusion to the bait was a great evolution in your style, and I am happy to see you finally crafted a bait that leaves a little to the imagination. It is a good bait, and one you really worked hard on. Good job. Your best this month
B+
The Last Days
Okay, I am not sure what to think of this bait. I think it is a very mature story that you put some thought into, but your characters are very unlikable. Anthony starts out as very intolerant of his wife's condition. She, on the other hand, just seems like a psycho, and the psycho wife named Amy was done to perfection by Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl. This bait takes a very different look at mental illness, but it is relentless in its treatment of Amy's condition, and that wasn't great. The supporting cast is too wasted, and I was so excited to see Margaret O'Brien in the cast list, but virtually everyone other than the two leads are completely wasted, and I think they should've either been given better material, or taken out completely. The two lead characters could have been much more likable, and Anthony seemed like a prissy little diva who couldn't be bothered to help his wife when he was able to, rather choosing to complain about her. Mental illness is not something that can be cured in a day, but the best treatment is support, to which Anthony really wasn't. I don't know what to say further, but its not your best. I wasn't sure if this was trying to be a sweet drama or a dark thriller, but it seems to be stuck in a limbo.

Before I start my reviews I just wanted to respond to some of the reviews of "Take Me To Church" (something I don't usually do). I find it a little strange and creatively stifling that some of you seem to be basing your opinions on a fictional story taking place in a country where you do not live and don't know the issues from experience on your own personal experiences. I have had a friend forced by his parents into a gay conversion camp and have seen the terrible effects they have first hand. I think maybe that is partially my fault, that I didn't get my message of tolerance within religion off well. I don't understand how my bait is "unrealistic" and "Halo" (for example) isn't. I have seen these things happen (and there are documentaries online about gay conversion camps in the USA that you all should check out if you're interested). I like to think of this contest as a place to share ideas and creativity with understanding. Religious homophobia is a much bigger issue in the USA right now than on-campus rape, but last month I was applauded for taking on that topic, while this month I feel like I took on an even bigger issue and it came off as "christian-bashing." I'm sorry if any of you felt that way, it wasn't my intention at all. I'll try harder next time to make sure my message is clearer! Anyway, on to YOUR wonderfully varied baits:
"Benedicta" written by Matthew
I find that this follows the basic outline of many of your baits: strong cast, story that makes you wonder why any of it matters, and then a little trick at the end. Sometimes that's incredibly effective, but it also sometimes falls flat as is the case here. I love your weird and fascinating baits about evil ("Strange Creatures," "Hellfire") and baits like this hint at it but never truly go to that same highly emotional place that you're so great at writing. I just felt like Louise and Christian's relationship felt like a less weird Conroy/Wittrock from AHS: Freak Show and that kind of made this bait just seem like an anti-feminist Tim Burton film.
"For Better Or Worse" written by Marci
Vera Farmiga would eat this up! This is a wonderful showcase for her and she has to instantly be considered a front-runner for the Oscar. Having grown up in a large, secular city in a mostly unreligious family I find it hard for me to understand a lot of the things this bait is trying to convey. I guess you could call me cynical, but I had kind of an icky feeling that Hal could jump right back into his work after losing his child. I get the whole moral of "people have it worse than us" but as people we inherently only truly know our own lives and for anyone losing a child is horrible on so many levels it feels wrong to compare it to other things. But, that strong emotional reaction I had to this bait just proves how incredibly effective it is. Baits about religion should always be divisive. This is one of the best religious themed baits I've ever read in the contest. Just Excellent.
"The Deep Pan" written by Chris
This had so much potential but seemingly gets bogged down in excess details and plot developments. I really thought at the beginning up until right after the time-jump that I was in for a comedy about a slacker man trying to fit in with, as you put it, a more "unsympathetic society." It really sucks that after that you threw in a job without explanation, a romance that would have worked had it not been for the war story, and the war story. This could have been so good, but it really did get muddled. Also, if you're doing a press section, it has got to be longer.
"Halo 2" written by Chris
I really wanted to like this one, but it's a slight regression from how great the first one was. I still like Urban and Exarchopolus a lot but otherwise I just felt genuinely confused by the lack of emotion. It was very episodic and detached, which didn't seem right for Mendes as a director. Also please work on formatting, you need paragraph breaks! While I didn't love it, it's still a very good bait. I'm just waiting for your next masterpiece because I know you have another one in you!
"I'm On Fire" written by Matthew
This bait was all over the place for me. Like mish-mash of "Son's Of Anarchy" and "St. Vincent." I really didn't get it... the casting of McCarthy was totally off and Gleason was uninspired. I really didn't find the story all that compelling, it just seemed totally unrealistic and the character's motivations were all muddled up. I'm sorry this isn't more helpful, I just really didn't get this bait, and the Press Section didn't do much to help.
"Just A Little Bit Different" written by Liam
This is a complicated topic to tackle, and I feel like you had good intentions but it didn't all quite gel. I was most taken aback by your lead character of Trent. I am friends with multiple MTF Transgendered people and they would probably scoff at his sheer ignorance. The whole "he then realized he was transgender" thing did not work at all, and although I'm sure it's not what you meant, almost makes it like it's a choice (which it is not). I also don't think many people would mistake 6'5" Armie Hammer as being a girl. When you have a plot where 1/4 of it takes place in childhood and teen years you MUST cast an actor because the reader doesn't know how to visualize that. This really didn't work for me and a lot of that had to do with my own opinions, but the lack of depth and weirdly unfitting casting didn't help.
"The Last Days" written by Liam
I gotta tell you, that scene of Anthony "cuddling" a stranger he's never met on the floor of a supermarket made me laugh. But then this bait got incredibly dark. I really love how you've set this up, but I was not about the casting of Prepon, she is just not a subtle enough actress in my opinion. The rest of your cast was good though, with Kazan making the strongest impression in her small role. I appreciate the obvious care you took with this bait, and while I thought it was overly long and had a dull middle, it's a bait I rally respect for it's many ambitions and difficult subject matter (executed very well) and see it doing very well this month.
"Liberation" written by Bobby
I LOVE Sandra in this! I think she's fantastic and a serious Best Actress threat. Howeverm the thought of her ant Troian having a sex scene makes me want to vomit from how weird and inter-generational it would be. I'm not sure this is a contender outside of Bullock and Wilson (very well used) because it doesn't feel like something Farmiga would direct, and seems like it was made to be a scene-stealer for Bullock more than a complete film.
"One Life" written by MAtthew
Jonathan Demme making a Christmas movie (sort of) with a cast of 20 (!!!)? I am not even remotely sold on that idea, and that's before I even got to the story itself. But this shocked me with it's emotional reverence and the detail you put in. Sure some stories were fantastic ("Tokyo") while others were less amazing ("New York City") but this is the perfect bait for the holiday season. I think 20 cast members is too much and would have liked to see some connections between the stories, but those are small complaints. I think this bait will be a Best Picture contender. Fantastic, really just marvelous!
"Prince Of Denmark: written by Kevin
I will always remember the moment I knew you were an author to be reckoned with. While you had already won Best Picture, the month of December 2011 was one of the most impressive months ever in the contest with such timeless masterpieces as Josh P's "The Cutting Room" and your incredible re-telling of "Hamlet" with an all-black cast (still one of my favorite baits). That's where this one falters a bit for me... I keep comparing it to that "Hamlet," and this one, although different and not technically Hamlet, is good, it's not at the same level as that one. I do appreciate your use of authentic actors (love Coster-Waldau!) and Bier is a good choice, though.
"Step By Step" written by Liam
Marcia Cross is absolutely perfect casting here, I wish her part was bigger! I also really enjoyed Linklater and Sarandon... in fact, your whole cast is almost flawless. I really enjoyed this Bait. It is one of the best this month and probably one of the best you've ever written. It reminded me a lot of "North's Girls" in that you can see your passion in every detail. Wonderful job, Liam!
"Yellow Fever" written by Matthew
This is very cute and informative. Even as a life-long "Simpson's" fan I never really knew the story behind the series. I don't think it's a very baity project, but I was thoroughly engaged and enjoyed every line. Your passion is front and center here. Great job!

I don't know Evan, you know we love you to death, but I don't think that you should reply on criticism that way. Or at all. This game is about sharing our opinions, ideas on each other's work and it's really hard to be objective if people get upset on criticism. No one said that it cannot happen in real life, because 2% of religious is very much like this. I only said that it’s unrealistic for me, because I experience it differently, and I always see this message on religion: that it cannot tolerate anything at first, which is untrue. We live so far away from each other and for example I could also say that you are wrong in your review by suggesting that someone, a priest, who has lost his child would rather bitching about it for months instead of serving to God next day. Yes, human emotions are important and we are all sensitive and selfish, but a priest cannot let things to go wild. And believe me when I say I know tons of them. Some of them lost their wife’s or kids and preached next day. Because a priest is not living for himself, he lives for the people and even if he’s sad or desperate, he has no choice, he has to do his work. In my bait I showed a priest and a woman next to a priest. And while the woman couldn’t handle it, the priest himself didn’t have a choice – he had to handle it for the people he’s responsible for.
So once again, there is no real drama here. You are a brilliant writer and a fantastic story teller, but this story, personally wasn’t my favorite. And I think it’s perfectly fine. We love you!

"The Giants" written by Evan Peck Dunbar
Your cast is good and the concept is interesting, but I couldn’t stop thinking on the solution. There were some serious plot holes here – what happened to the body? Why weren’t they sad about their grandfather’s death, like at all? What about contacting the police after the incident? It’s not like they are five years olds. I don’t know Evan, I think it’s not a bad effort, but these question marks are kind of ruining it for me or at least making it less of a contender in my book.
"Just A Little Bit Different" written by Liam McWhinney
I have to be honest here. I didn’t really find anything new in this. It’s the same topic all over again and it’s too similar to Bobby’s Illusion and Conversion. Armie Hammer is a terrible miscast and he wouldn’t make a believable performance due to his appearance and incredibly manly way of speaking. You also placed some of your scenes earlier and didn’t cast actors for the parts which is a huge mistake. I also disliked the title, you already had a bait called after the “someone is different” type of scheme. Liam, I really wanted to like this, but I just couldn’t.
"Liberation" written by Bobby Henry
Your casting this time is a bit much for me – some of your actors are pretty much wasted. The story itself is very promising, although some of the elements were definitely not needed. I would really like to see Sandra Bullock making a movie like this, because it would be so out of her confront zone. Patrick Wilson is a good as the husband, too. Maybe this bait is not as good as your previous few baits Bobby, but I do appreciate that you achieved your challenge (you are the first and only one so far) and wrote something uncertain for Bullock.
"Yellow Fever" written by Matthew Joseph Jenner
It’s clearly a passion project of yours and I do think that you did a good job with it. I’m not familiar of the basics and the genre is not my cup of tea at all, and I’m also uncertain about it Oscar chances, but most of the time, I did enjoy it.
"The Prince of Denmark" written by Kevin Klawitter
The topic and the genre are incredibly underused in our game, so thank you for bringing some excitement into our game. Despite your writing is a bit confusing for me and the story is not developed or explained well, I do believe that it’s among the likeable ones this month, mainly due because of how rare a story like this in our game.
"One Life" written by Matthew Joseph Jenner
Some of the casting choices were really unnecessary and the bait is a bit long, but James Marsden is pretty much standout in a great ensemble piece. I liked the way you structured your bait and it’s perfectly fits for my Christmas mood. Well Done!
"The Last Days" written by Liam McWhinney
I’m very mixed on this. First of all, your lead characters are amazingly written, but somehow I didn’t care for the story. The length for this was also much more of a hard read, as the story itself wasn’t so interesting for me. It’s not bad at all, it’s just not a standout piece.
"Step by Step" written by Liam McWhinney
You have a great cast, a wonderfully written and emotionally strong story. Once again, nothing new on the topic and the bait is similar of Bobby’s Letting Go, but this one is easily my runner-up to the final Hatchet and is one of your best submissions so far. The length is horrendous, but I understand that you needed to write your little heart out, so I won’t press charges against you in this. I will give love for this bait on my Oscar ballot.

Evan, I understand how you feel right now. But please; just because a film of a certain genre is labelled 'unrealistic' and therefore a negative thing, doesn't mean that the films of an unrealistic genre such as sci fi are bad... If you write a bait set in a realistic scenario, but certain aspects are unrealistic than that will be a thing that people will address, but "The Lord of the Rings" for example, is set in one of these fantasy worlds, where you can get away with more unrealistic things. I know your not attacking 'Halo' on purpose, and are just using it as an example, but I just want to make that known. FYI I enjoyed your bait "Take me to Church" thoroughly and I honestly cant see how people can find it unrealistic, but I can assure you it will definitly be a frontrunner in my Oscar ballot. Anyway, thats all from me.
PS. I have a Christmas Party in an hour, so my reviews will not be up until tomorrow. Sorry.
Merry Christmas Guys~

The Deep PanHmmmmm...I don't really get this one. I understand the concept, but it just didn't seem to work. I know you sent it to me previously and I gave you some thoughts to ponder, I feel you need a full review that goes in-depth. First of all, your cast is pretty good. Elijah Wood is a very underrated actor, and Lauren Cohan is also a great actress. But there were tons of other problems - your director is Chris Miller, but that presents two problems - is it Chris Miller, the solo director? Because if it is, then I don't see him doing anything other than animation because he hasn't done anything other than animation. If its the OTHER Christopher Miller, where is Phil Lord? I know it doesn't really matter, but this is supposed to have some degree of reality to it, and just small touches help improve it significantly. Now onto the most important aspect - the story. I am a huge lover of back in time films and alternate history. You had a golden concept here, but I did tell you during the first draft to do something, and it seems you did try, but didn't quite get what I was saying - you had a dynamite idea, but kinda wasted it by having Dave jump immediately into the world of the 1940s - it was rushed, and I would've liked to have seen him actually experience the era instead of going off on the tangent it did. Kudos for a great concept though. Halo 2You clearly love gaming, and I remember my high school IT lessons were always secret Halo sessions. I think your casting is spot-on, but I feel something is missing from it that was present in the first Halo film. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems to me this one is a lot colder and more clinical. It doesn't have the sprawling majesty that it could've had, and I do wish you had developed the characters a lot more. However, once again your casting is good, and you have a great poster. This month you have grown as a writer, and I think you should keep at it, and you will improve a lot over the next few months  For Better or WorseThey always say that the key to successful writing is writing what you know - and in this contest, that can be tricky, as you can pour your heart and soul into something that is very personal to you, and then it receives a bland reception. We all know that feeling, and its not pleasant. Marci, you tackled something very important - religion, and not one that makes us doubt faith, but instead almost reaffirms it. Religion is a tricky subject, because a lot of media portrays religious people as intolerant, Bible-thumping idiots, and while some of them are, a great many are intelligent, wonderful human beings. You characters of Hal and Nicole McCue are absolute perfection on this front - they are certainly very religious but also certainly wonderful people. Hal reminds me a lot of a priest I encountered two years ago on a camp, and he was devout, but very progressive - he was kind and a total sweetheart, and he didn't just blindly preach the gospel, he taught it to us in a way that touched our hearts. Nicole is very much like my Catechism teacher, who was a shy but wonderful woman. You have crafted two very realistic characters that aren't just fantasy, they are realistic and very accurate. Your story is one that is unconventional but brilliant - I will say I haven't gotten this emotional reading a bait ever. Kidnapping is a major problem around the world, and the fact that you left the ending open, without a Hollywood happy ending just shows your greatness as a writer - it is one of the most lifelike baits ever in the contest - horrible stuff does happen to even the best people, and sometimes those horrible things never are repaired. We all live in a world of uncertainty and mystery, and we never know what will happen. For many of us, faith is the answer. Prayer has never steered me wrong, and has helped me through my biggest challenges. I am very impressed in this bait Marci - you showed religion in an unconventional and very unique way, and it is definitely one of your best baits ever. Maybe your best ever.

“Prince of Denmark”: I really enjoyed this. I myself quite enjoy Shakespeare’s work, and I found that you put quite an interesting twist on the original. Your cast is really good in my opinion, and I think you’ve succeeded in making quite an engaging bait. Good Job!
“Benedictia’: I am quite a fan of this bait, and your cast is really nice. At some points the story was kind of slow, but that didn’t take away from an overall well written story.
“I’m on Fire”: I quite enjoyed this. Your cast is exceptional in my opinion, especially the chemistry between your characters, and your story had me hooked for the most part. Excellent work!
“One Life”: I really liked this one. Your alternate perspectives that are addressed are really really interesting, but sometimes this got a bit confusing and inconsistent with the story. I also feel that you could have focused a lot more on your character development too, but even with this, some of your characters are actually really memorable. Nice job!
‘For Better or Worse”: I think that this one has a lot of potential! Your cast includes some of my favourite stars, and I think your crew couldn’t be better. I love the subject matter you have depicted in this, and I believe you couldn’t have done it better.
“Hatchet: The Hunt”: I just want you to know that I have thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy, and I think that this is the best of the three. Everything about this is pretty much spot on, Story, Cast and Crew. I really think you’ve got something with this.
“The Giants”: I think you’ve done something good here. I love these kinds of baits, and you have really not disappointed here. Your cast is awesome, some of which I believe will be well received in the Oscars.
“Liberation”: I like this a lot. While slow at parts, I really feel that you’ve put a lot of yourself into this bait, and that pretty much makes this a really effective bait. Sandra is going to win a lot for this.
“Take Me To Church”: Wow. What can I say. This is probably one of the best baits I’ve ever read. From the start to end, you’ve managed to successfully create an awesomely engaging, tragic and memorable story. Your cast and crew is top notch and I honestly cant wait to see this win tonnes of awards this month. Great Work!
“Yellow Fever”: Nice work here. You’ve put a lot of passion into this, and I really like your cast. The story was quite engaging, and I really think this is going to do well this month.
“Just A Little Bit Different”: Nice work here. I found your story really inspirational and engaging. I really like your style, and that is quite evident in this bait. Your cast is really well picked this month. Excellent Work.
“Step by Step”: I really really enjoyed this. I don’t like taking length into consideration, because nowhere in your bait did I feel bored. The detail was nice, and really brought me into the world of your characters and story.
“The Last Days”: I like how you’ve gone out of your shell to write this. It feels very outside of what you normally write. For that, I commend your work. Cast is good, crew is good. I really like how you’ve done this. Nice Work!
