Anyone else see this? It came out last year I believe. Naturally I loved the scenery of 1900 Vienna, but I also thought Ed Norton was great. I usually like his films, one of the few modern actors who demonstrates professionalism, IMHO.

Please sign the Leila Hyams DVD Petition if you haven't yet signed. It only takes a second, and I ask that you sign with your first and last name if possible. Many people sign with "Bob" or "Claire", and while I appreciate every single signature, it doesn't have the believability. I'm expecting...
Oh sure, your average run-of-the-mill plot ;) It might have been slightly inspired by Nosferatu, seeing as how the ship was rat-infested. I could be reaching though lol
Do you feel there could have been more description?

I said I definitely liked the story idea and the characters. I think you're on a very good road with those. I don't think I was harsh in my original reply and if I was, it certainly wasn't intentional.
I found the story to be quite interesting but must agree about the grammar and punctuation. I'm somewhat of a stickler about that. I usually scrutinize my own writing to a fault. Sometimes I have to let it go or I'll nitpick it to death. But in the case of your story, it does detract from the...
