Manic Expression

Couple of days ago I started a collaboration on the forums of thatguywiththeglasses.com that is meant to chronicle the directorial works of Ridley Scott whose work I greatly admire. However things have been quite quiet as so far there has been only seven reservations out of 20 movies. I'd want to make this collaboration complete so therefore I'd like to ask from the members of Manic Expression would any of you have interest to participate. Reviewers are required for the following movies:

• The Duellists (1977)
• Blade Runner (1982)
• Legend (1985)
• Someone to Watch over Me (1987)
• 1492: The Conquest of Paradise (1992)
• White Squall (1996)
• G.I. Jane (1997)
• Matchstick Men (2003)
• A Good Year (2006)
• American Gangster (2007)
• Body of Lies (2008
• Robin Hood (2010)
• Prometheus (2012)

There are couple of rules I've made in order to keep the collaboration together, presented here as I wrote them to the original thread.

"1. Be on schedule.

The one reviewing The Duellists is expected to post his/her review at least three weeks after all the spots are filled and following ones should come every three weeks unless there's valid reason why you need more time making your video.

2. All reviews will be posted chronologically.

Just for the sake of having the feel of continuity. Practically this means for example I can't post my Gladiator review before ten people have posted theirs. And speaking of continuity:

3. Have at least some kind mention that your review is part of this collaboration.

It can be as simple as a link to this collaboration thread in the closing credits. This leads to the next rule:

4. Old material isn't an acceptable entry.

But in case you already have a review of one of the films and still want to showcase it you can mention about it in this thread.

Other than that it doesn't matter what your reviewing style, experience or the level of talent may be as long as you have interest, motivation and sincere intentions."

So if you have a TGWTG account and want to review one of the movies mentioned above inform about it at the TGWTG thread: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=41001

Can said review be in text form?

how long does it need to be?

@Les: I'd like it to be in video form.

@Timdiana: As mentioned the style is free.

Ok, here is my next question. How long does it need to be?

I'd love to review Blade Runner but...reviewing schedule is already full (reviewing the b-movie Curse of the Wolf next and the review series always take a few weeks and after that is Terminator Salvation).

Good luck with everyone who participates

If you want specific guidelines I guess 10 minutes is a minimum.
