Stakeout

I know what you are saying not another buddy cop movie. Well this is not another buddy cop movie it is a comedy. While it has a lot of action mixed in with the movie this movie is mainly funny. Emilio Estevez and Richard Dreyfuss star in this unusual comedy adventure. With Cop Out due out today this format may seem tired. Just remember though this buddy cop comedy is 23 years old and way ahead of its time. It was well written with some great lines and a fantastic soundtrack as well. This movie reminded me of my younger days and what it feels like to be in love. What did I just say? There is some romance involved in this cop comedy? Hell yea, Madeine Stowe sizzles as the love interest and the reason for steak out in the first place. The aforementioned leading men serve as voyeurs to the stunning ex girl friend of the lead villain. (Aidan Quinn) This comedy is sure to delight the most curmudgeon like fans and skeptics alike. It is original, creative and even packs a punch. The audience is sure to be pleased in this fun loving buddy cop comedy. Grade B+

A note from an editor!

Hi Matthew,


Thank you for the time and effort you put into this piece, especially on a Saturday morning. I can tell you definitely took good notes of everything that was going on during the event!


We still have some work to do before this piece is ready to print. Your piece has a lot of information, but it doesn’t sound like a news article. What was the point of his speech/presentation? Why was he addressing this audience? What is Vanguard? What does the company do – who does it serve? You spend a lot of time narrating (for example, how he was injured), but did not report on the purpose of the event. You can maybe mention his appearance/joking about it in a sentence or two, but do not take several paragraphs to do so. Also, I like how you mentioned where the name “Vanguard” comes from.


There are a lot of spelling errors in this piece – make sure you proof read each sentence carefully.


I know I am getting back to you a little later I hoped, and I’m sorry about that! But if you have time tonight, please go through my suggestions and try to rework your piece. You can send me what you have tonight/tomorrow morning. Please bring a copy of it to the meeting tomorrow and we will discuss it further from there.


Once again, thanks for your hard work and promptness! Remember this is a learning process, and we are all part of the Waltonian team!


Talk to you soon!
