Concept 55 Brainstormer

#1:

I strongly believe that there are people in this world who do things for the good of the people, not just for self gain.  This belief has been around since I was little and I got this belief by the kinds of things I was taught by my elders.  This was challenged by one of my uncles who I don't really talk to anymore.  He thinks that everyone is out for themselves, but there are those who do things for the sole purpose of being friendly and giving.

Concept 54 Brainstormer

#1:
Harry Potter
Cowboys and Aliens
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

They would have shots of characters staring off into the distance with a quizzical look on their faces.  They would slowly reveal things bit by bit that we could piece together but the characters already know exactly what it is.

Concept 53 Brainstormers

#1:
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

They would cut between scenes to show where one event is happening while the main characters have no idea as to what is in progress.

#2:
Secret - A girl has a crush on him.
Hints - Ask him if he knows the girl, if he likes her at all, what he would did if he found out that she has a crush on him, etc.

#3:
(1) Usually in horror movies, they will have the main characters oblivious to what is about to happen to them.  I would do that in different genres.

Concept 51 Brainstormer

#2:

My superhero name would be Crystal Scar.  I would have a scar from some kind of crystalline extraterrestrial monster that would imbue power into my blood stream that would allow me to turn parts of my body into crystals that are as hard as diamonds (maybe even harder since it's alien).  It would tell the world my basis of power and the way I would have gotten it.

Concept 48 Brainstormer

#2:

Eddie and Tracie are being set up a on blind date by a mutual classmate, Dennis, that believes that they would be a perfect match for each other.  Dennis would think that their personalities mesh nicely, but when Eddie and Tracie meet that's not entirely the case.  Eddie and Tracie have conflicting ethical and political views and the normal chit-chat on blind dates turn into debates and arguments.

Rio Bravo Reflection

1. Yes, there was a sheriff, a temptress, a shanty town and the stand-off.

2. When Burdette comes and wants his brother Joe from the jail.  There is no refusal and John, Dude, Stumpy, and Colorado have to defend against the onslaught of mercenaries Burdette sends at them.

3. John T. Chance - Tough sheriff, doesn't back down and has wise remarks
Dude  - The local drunk who ends up sober, first deputy
Stumpy -  The cripple who stays in the jail but ends up going outside, second deputy
Colorado - The new guy who is young and was part of Wheeler's crew, third deputy
Feathers - Temptress to John
Carlos - Owner of the local hotel and John's close friend.
Joe - The person in jail whose imprisonment means trouble for the whole town.
Burdette - Joe's brother who has a lot of money

4. The beginning might have felt slow for some people, but I thought it was a good exposition of the characters and the second half was fast-paced and full of action.

5. The action sequences were furious and fast.  They usually ended quickly except for the stand-off at the end.  A lot of tension before and during the shootouts.

Concept 45 Brainstormer

#1:

Eragon, The Green Mask, Monsters Inc.

Concept 43 Brainstormer

#2:

I very much dislike how my mother likes to beat around the bush when she wants to say something or ask a question.  This trait evolved primarily because of my brother, my dad and I when we speak to her.  We usually ask a lot of questions or get things done incorrectly.

Concept 41 Brainstormer

#3:

My protagonist's point of no return would be the first destination he/she would travel to.  Be it a far away land or just a few miles away, it would be similar to moving to a different dimension.  If he/she does not commit, there would be almost no consequences except for the emotions and thoughts of the protagonist and their decisions.  If he/she is traveling in a group, it may affect the other members because they know that the protagonist does not want to be there or is afraid of the outcome.
