Report Card----"The Theory Of Everything."

This is the one about Dr. Stephen Hawking, whom I admit I didn't know that much about.
It was mostly about the relationship between him and his wife.

On to the scoring:

Is it interesting?

Not nearly enough.
C.

Compelling even?

Never.
D.

Is it controversial?

Not in the slightest.
D.

Is it a story worth telling?

Maybe there was a story in him, but this wasn't it.
C-.

Is it good storytelling?

It concentrated on the rather soap-opera-ish "Do they love each other enough to stay together?" tale, rather than on his work, which I wanted to hear more about.
I guess I wanted it to be more like "A Beautiful Mind"---a much better movie.
D.

Is it well written?

Nothing stands out.
B-.

Is it well cast? Well played?

The guy playing Hawking looked like him, and I guess sounded like him.
He certainly didn't make himself easy to watch.
Other than that, I got nuthin'.
C.

Well shot?

I'll give them that.
A.

Is it too long? Too short?

Way too long.
D.

Is it believable? Do you care about the characters?

Yes, and no.
C.

Is it predictable? Does it surprise you?

Not predictable,and it surprises me, but I blame my ignorance for that.
B+.

Do you think about it after you've seen it?

No.
C-.

Is it funny?

Almost never.
D.

Would it have been worth the thirteen bucks it would have cost to see it in the movies?

It wouldn't, and it isn't.
F.

Is it impressive ?

Not to me.
C-.

Overall grade: C.

Another one of those "Let's see if we can rack up awards for nobility."

My books ,"Show Runner" and it's sequel, "Show Runner Two", can be found at the Amazon Kindle Store.
Along with the newer ones, "The Man Is Dead", and "Report Cards".
You can search by typing in my name, Cindy Williams, Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple, or Happy Days.
Check them out.
You don't need a Kindle machine to download them.
Just get the free app from Kindle, and they can be downloaded to an IPhone, IPad, or Blackberry.
The paperbacks, "Mark Rothman's Essays" and my new novel, "I'm Not Garbo" are not
e-books. But they are available for people without Kindle.
I have many readings and signings lined up for those, and the thing about Kindle is you can't sign one. If you'd like one of the paperbacks, personally autographed, contact me at macchus999@aol.com.

And now, we've got my reading of my "Laverne and Shirley Movie" screenplay on YouTube.
