One-Star Amazon Reviews

August 18, 2014 Follow Up

I’ve been following the Twitter feed [@AmznMovieRevws](https://twitter.com/AmznMovieRevws), which curates some of the most inane movie reviews on Amazon, particularly the one-star variety.

I was inspired to look up some for my own films.

In retrospect, we should have put a sticker the DVD warning people that it’s a not-for-real film.

Who’s the fellar from Berkley? That’s the central question of my new one-act play, “The Fellar from Berkley.” We’re trying to get Corey Stoll for the lead. Maybe Julia Stiles as the Slate reporter?

(Worth noting: Eight Seconds, the [Luke Perry bull-riding movie](http://www.amazon.com/8-Seconds-Luke-Perry/dp/B00002SSKG/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1408384607&sr=1-1&keywords=eight+seconds), has better reviews than Go, earning five stars to Go’s four.)
