THE SIXTH TEST OF HDC IDOL 2008-09


I am here to address the Elves. Each one of you is given a task which you have to perform to the best of your ability, wit and innovation, based upon the knowledge you have of the genre.

For your Second Test, the common theme chosen is - MODERN CRITICS.

All of you pen the critics columns of some very influential trade magazines which influence the movie-going public and the performances at the BO. All of you are attendees of first screenings of some hugely popular movies of the 2000s. Without taking any sides or being biased, you have to submit a short review of the movies in question, as to how you value the movie.

In other words, be frank about your criticism/praise of the movie you choose, and make it sound as honest and influencing on the Judges as you can at the same time. Pick what you liked, and what you didnt like...be honest with yourself, and with the review you put forward.

Ready?

Choose from - House of 1000 Corpses, Grindhouse, The Mist, Cloverfield, [Rec], The Descent, Saw.

Two contestants may pick the same movie, but their honest reviews should not be too similar with each other, or both of them stand to lose points. ALSO, you might lose points if you show TOO much favoritism or bias towards the movie you choose, so be very careful.


All of you have 48 hours to do your researches, write down your reviews, and pitch them in front of the Judges. The Judges will be your peers for each review, and if you manage to win them over, you stand to score the maximum. When you are ready, send me a PM or post your entry in this thread (WITHOUT EDITING), and the Judges will read em and post their criticisms and praise, if any.

If any of you dont post your entry within the next 48 hours, you stand DQed off this Test, and dont gain any scores (or favors) from your Judges!

You have a hard task ahead of you, so all the best!!
