Some big hitters there! Box office records will be smashed! Now, if this doesn't make you write, nothing will. Hollywood is ripe for the picking.

Loglines are an unsatisfactory way of summing up a movie's potential. Take the first logline on your list. Nothing orginal about it -- but then neither was the logline to Reservoir Dogs. I find loglines only really work when they're for high concept movies. Uggggggggggggh.
I hate loglines. But one wonders what makes a big time exec think any of these are good ideas. If they turn out great...I'll be surprised.
just add a sadistic slasher to all stories and sell as the B-film at the Drive-In (oh yeah, is there any Drive-Ins left?)
