Surprisingly entertaining, “The Gravedancers” is one of the “After Dark Horrorfest” by Lionsgate. There are “8 films to die for” to be exact. “The Gravedancers” is about a group of three college friends who were reunited at the funeral of their dead friend. They spent that evening drinking and reminiscing at the graveyard where their friend was buried. Submitting to alcohol, the trio ended up dancing on the nearby graves after reading a note they thought to be a forgotten sympathy card while unknowingly releasing vengeful spirits.

The movie built up enough suspense in the first three-quarter that’s a throwback to the pre-slasher horror genre. In the last quarter, the movie lost steam. The final confrontation with the ghosts seemed rush and uninspired. By this time, you sense the B-movie feel of the production unlike the first three-quarters of the movie. I thought the special effects and makeup depicting the ghosts were second rate. They probably could have done much better using not showing the ghosts fully and cloaking them in mystery.

Another glaring drawing back was the acting. It was so-so at best. There were familiar faces, namely, Dominic Purcell (”Blade Trinity”) and Tchéky Karyo (”The Patriot”). Tchéky was great as a paranormal expert. I thought the other actors, including Purcell, were lacking in their portrayal of haunted victims. Overall, Purcell, his movie wife, Clare Kramer, his friend, Marcus Thomas, and his ex-girlfriend, Josie Maran, did not look convincingly scared that there were ghosts after them.

All in all, the movie is worth a rental if you’re looking to get scared by something other than slasher movies.

Teens may turn into reluctant readers. Sometimes this is because the majority of the reading they do is for school and, therefore, work. Another cause may be that they are struggling with reading at the level of their peers. Often this leads them to take a defensive position and they declare reading is stupid, no fun, or boring.

Parents can help by encouraging independent reading. Independent reading is motivating because it is about choosing subject matter of interest to the reader, in this case, the teen. This is the reading we all do for our own enjoyment and entertainment. Instead of pressing for reading at a particular grade-level, let this reading be at whatever level the teen feels comfortable. The point here is to reinforce success and create a feeling of confidence. The teen will naturally seek more difficult material as he or she grows more comfortable and confident. Here are some ideas on how to keep a teen motivated to read.

Schedule a weekly trip to the library. Obtain library cards for each teen. Let them choose any material they would like to look at for the next week. Be open to CD’s, DVD’s, tapes, magazines, or books. When there is no pressure to pick a particular type of material, teens feel able to pick something of interest and at a level they are willing to tackle for enjoyment. Remember you want to develop a lifelong reader.

Encourage your teen to join a book club. Many libraries and some schools have book clubs specifically for teens. Teens enjoy interacting with other teens and they get to share books of interest to them.

Get a driver’s manual. Most teens are looking forward to being able to drive. Get a driver’s manual and have them study to take their driver’s test. If they are having trouble reading the manual, help them through it.

Weekly cooking. Work with your teen to set one night a week as their night to prepare dinner. Let them choose the menu, find recipes, check to see all ingredients are on hand and if not, add them to the weekly shopping list. When they first start, you may need to provide a helping hand. As they become more experienced cooks, you will need to provide less assistance. Not only does cooking improve reading and math skills, it is a vital life skill.

Pen pals. If your teen has a favorite relative, see if the relative would be willing to exchange letters or e-mails with your teen. In addition to reading, the sense of connection to others is helpful during a time when teens search for answers about themselves and their identity.

Develop a personal library. Encourage your teen to develop a library of favorite books. In addition to purchasing new books, they can add books to their collection through yard sale purchases, used bookstores, and library sales.

Gift your teen with a magazine subscription. Choose a magazine which covers a topic your teen is interested in - cars, wildlife, movies, or anime. Another closely related approach is to let them sign up for an e-mail newsletter or ezine.

These ideas can help your teen become a motivated reader and a reader for life, by encouraging them to see reading as a way to enjoy and learn more about the world around them.

Competition among video rental stores is quite tough nowadays especially with the emergence of online DVD rental services and the proliferation of DVD rental machines all over the country.

As a consumer, you’re in a position to take advantage of the present state of competition among video rental companies- offline or online. It’s time to judge the fairness of the DVD rental rates you’re currently being charged with. Are the DVD rental rates you’re paying right now higher than most or something you should be thankful of? Are they worth it?

Ask yourself the following questions and find out if the DVD rental services you’re paying for give you the most value for your money.

MOVIE SELECTION

There’s absolutely no reason at all right now why you have to tolerate a video rental shop’s inadequate movie selection. Most video rental shops nowadays offer a wide selection of movies for discriminating customers. Plus, these shops constantly update their list of new releases. A lower rate is no excuse for paltry pickings when it comes to DVDs to choose from.

TIME

People often complain about the office hours maintained by some video rental shops. These customers, often avid movie watchers, are usually left with nowhere to rent DVDs come midnight. But thanks to 24/7 DVD rental kiosks available nationwide, there’s no need to worry about catching a shop at a certain time. What’s more, DVD rental kiosks don’t require you to pay any membership fee at all.

CONVENIENCE

If you’re renting from an online shop and the delivery time for DVDs makes you impatient, it’s time to switch. No matter how little you’re being charged, there are a lot more companies that offer better service for very competitive rates.

Remember that good businesses prioritize their customers. If you’re being charged expensive DVD rental rates for poor customer service, shop around for a new place to get DVDs from. There are many better stores around. All you need to do is know your area and conduct adequate research.

One of my most popular articles to date has been “Breaking Into Hollywood - Do I Need to Read the Trades?” In that post, I outlined the minimum types of information you should scan the trades for and also suggested key trades to read. Thanks to the strong response I received, in this article, I’m going to follow up with specific examples of what you might find in the trades - and how you can translate that information into selling your own projects.

Whether you work in film or TV, you can put these tips to use, even if the specific example is not from your industry.

Let me start by recommending you immediately ditch any hard copies you receive of the trades and sign up for the electronic versions instead. That way, you can easily copy and paste information straight into your databases or share it with partners and reps. Remember, always show copyright love whenever it bears stating!

Now, here are six ways to “trade up” your daily reading into a focused, project-selling process:

Trade-Up Tip #1: Track the TrendsAs you prepare to pitch various projects, the trades tell you what’s hot and what’s not. Guess which trend you want to be riding? For example, for reality TV professionals, over the past two weeks, we’ve learned that:

My Network TV is about to replace 33% of its programming with reality TV AND 180 from telenovelas to targeting male viewers (reality producers, take note); Court TV’s first scripted project is a hit with viewers (fiction producers, here’s a new potential buyer!); NBC, the CW and Bochco himself all are about to launch original Web-based programs (everyone, are you still ignoring new media?); andNetworks in general are looking for cheap ratings bonanzas in brand-friendly game shows (got a talent option you don’t know yet how to capitalize on?)All of that info ought to help show creators decide which ideas they are going to prioritize developing to maximize sales possibilities. Database these updates in a simple table or spreadsheet, and you’ll always be timely in your pitch meetings. And remember, the execs you’re pitching expect you to know this info if it was in the trades!

ACTION PLAN: In Word or Excel, build a simple table with columns for network/studio name, programming announcement(s) and announcement date(s). (when you buy my book, “The Show Starter Reality TV Made Simple System, Vol. 1: How to Create and Pitch a Sellable Reality Show,” if you join the Show Starter Online Group, you can access a file of over a dozen network programming announcements from this year’s upfronts.)

BONUS ROUND: If you don’t have any pitches that ride the trends, rework existing projects to stay current. Is there a cooking pitch you love that also might make a terrific game show? For helpful process tips, read “Show Starter, Vol. 1″ pp 25-27.

Trade-Up Tip #2: Run “Comps” on Projects that are Similar to YoursTV producers, before any pitch meeting you ever take, be absolutely sure to check the overnight ratings for the current shows at that network AND any shows anywhere else that are similar to yours. Filmmakers, regularly track the weekend box office for any studios or companies you hope to meet with or any films in your genre.

Now for the example: remember the hot new - and now former - ABC show “The Great American Dream”? At the end of March ‘07, if you were about to pitch any dream fulfillment shows anywhere, or any show AT ALL to ABC, a quick glance at one day’s trades would have shown that “Dream” utterly tanked episode one (ratings report - 3/28/07). . .and was cancelled after episode two (cancellation article - 3/29/07 - as in the NEXT DAY’s trades).

Translation: this might be a pretty bad time to pitch a new dreams-come-true project anywhere, and ABC execs might be particularly cautious about new genre projects in general. Isn’t that something you’d like to know before entering the room? You BET. At least so you can explain why your project isn’t vulnerable to the same ratings risks? And don’t be blinded even if you see high ratings. Just because the trades report “Fox Picks Up 13 More Episodes of 5th Grader,” it might mean Fox wants to do another deal with Mark Burnett rather than buy your equally biting game show.

ACTION PLAN: Do a quick ratings review in the daily trades to compare your pitch list to current shows. Push danger zone shows to the bottom of your list, if you pitch them at all over the next few weeks. Then shift at least one brand-appropriate trend-winner into your top three opening pitches.

BONUS ROUND: Brainstorm alternative versions of your danger zone pitches (Show Starter, Vol. 1, pp 25-27) so they no longer heavily rely on now-risky elements. Then if an exec challenges them, you can come right back with a well-thought-out twist on your pitch.

Trade-Up Tip #3: Dissect Deal PointsIf you’re not sure what to expect and request in your own deals, read the trades to keep up with what everyone else is offering or receiving! For example, for all you filmmakers who are fighting mainly to get a piece of DVD rentals in your deals, shouldn’t you know that the “Netflix Founder Predicts End Of DVD Rental Business” and now is investing millions in digital film downloading? Meanwhile, reality newcomers and pitch partners can set some basic contract expectations by reading news like “Hedda Muskat has been named Consulting Producer on WE’s new show, ‘Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter’ debuting on April 20. Hedda brought the show to World of Wonder who sold it to WE.” (© 2007 Cynopsis).

ACTION PLAN: Scan for any deal discussions regarding professional peers or potential buyers. The Cynopsis example above lets you know right away what you might expect to be offered by WE and/or World of Wonder as a new show creator.

BONUS ROUND: Oh, you know what I’m going to say: add this info to a database - and review it before you actually pitch any partners!

Trade-Up Tip #4: Improve Your Project Development ProcessSeeking “the right” talent to attach to a project? You can test the industry’s temperature for star “heat” by reading that “Kid, Not Play, May Get Talk Show.” Or get a great lesson in built-in conflict for reality pitches when you read that “Season three of Run’s House on MTV begins April 9 at 10p. Rev. Run and the Simmons family return to face new crisis and growth situations such as the two oldest daughters, Angela and Vanessa living on their own in Manhattan.” (© 2007 Cynopsis). Whenever you read about greenlit projects in your industry, consider it powerful development guidance for your own projects.

ACTION PLAN: Scan the trades for talent and story success stories and see what equally compelling “headlines” you could write to promote your own projects. Do you have more work to do to develop the project?

BONUS ROUND: Write the headlines - and send them to your focus group to see if they want to see that show!

Trade-Up Tip #5: Gather Insider InformationI call this “Room Wisdom.” These are articles that give you explanations of how our business works that help you get inside the minds of the studio, network and production execs you are pitching. For example, the Hollywood Reporter recently ran an article called “Ad Ratings To Gain At Upfront,” explaining that advertisers increasingly want to base the ad dollars they commit to a network on ratings for the actual commercials that run during programs, rather than ratings for the shows themselves. Is that a big shift? Of course! Is that something you can talk about intelligently in the room when possible ratings enter the discussion? Sure - if you’ve read the article.

ACTION PLAN: Read insider information articles and make sure you can summarize the general idea into a straightforward sentence (like I just did above).

BONUS ROUND: Learn the article’s new buzzwords and do additional research on them. For my example article, you would research “ad ratings” (aka “commercial ratings”) and the new Nielsen measurements they represent.

Trade-Up Tip #6: Scan for Who | What | WhereI’ll say it again - success in isn’t just about know-how; it’s about know-WHO. You absolutely must know who the players are that can buy your projects or otherwise assist their sale. All the trades announce executive hiring, firings and job-swappings. Many also feature producers who have just sold new projects. You must know these names to learn whom you already know and whom you need to meet with - not just in the room, but also at panels, seminars and conferences you see advertised.

For example: got contacts at “The Amazing Race”? Guess what? Now you might have contacts at Oprah’s new wish fulfillment show - the trades just announced “‘Race’ duo to oversee Harpo reality series.” But before you send an e-mail blast to everyone you know who works anywhere, please read my article: “Breaking Into Hollywood - Do you know anyone who’s hiring?” Please don’t ever let the first thing you say to someone - a stranger OR a friend - be “What can you do for me?” Make sure your energy in this industry is balanced between advancing your own dreams and sincerely investing in your core circle’s dreams at the same time. Those contacts are the ones who’ll call YOU to yell, “Hey, I just got the new Oprah show - send me your rez!”

ACTION PLAN: Database the names of studio execs, network execs, production execs, financiers and show runners and keep it updated through your daily trade reads. Start with the network and prod co dbs we give you at our online group, and keep it up-to-date. Those names are the key to your selling a project.

BONUS ROUND: Today, right now, send an e-mail to the five people who have helped you most in your career. Offer something specific to help them back - even if its updating one of THEIR databases. Get balance back in your professional relationships - and watch the immediate shift in your professional progress.

BONUS, BONUS ROUND - Stop typing your latest email blast asking people you otherwise never check in on to find you work. Now re-read “Bonus Round” and give that approach a try instead. Please trust me on this. And remember, send thank you truffles or coffee cards to everyone who ever gets you in front of anyone else for a meeting - whether you close a deal or not.
