Prom Night (2008)
- Bring more depth and explanation into the teacher's obsession
- Enough with the mirror jump scares! You can do it once, but not three freakin' times!!
- Get rid of all those he's-right-behind-you-turn-around-and-he's-suddenly-not-there moments
- Stick with the original story!!
- Get actual teens to play the teens
- That last act/climax should take place at the prom (again, original story!)
- Two words: Character. Development.

No, I never saw this movie. I just saw the Nostalgia Critic's review of it. Oy, where do I begin...
- Use actual kids to play the GPKs
- Get actors around the main kid's age to play the bullies, not 20 year olds!
- Cut out the song
- Get rid of the State Home for the Ugly sub-plot
- Cut back on the gross humor
- Get rid of the whole opening scene with the garbage pail in space. Couldn't the GPKs be introduced some other way?
- Moments with just the GPKs talking should actually do something with the plot!
- Give the GPKs a backstory. Where did they come from? Who are they? What's their purpose? (ties in with the pail thing)
- DON'T MAKE THE MOVIE AT ALL!!

- Don't focus so much on Micheal's backstory. If it was just 10 or 15 minutes that's fine, but not if it takes up the first half of the movie!
- Make Laurie's character less whiny and more determined
- Cut back on the nudity and sex just a tad
EarthChild's rating:
- Stick closer to the books
- Instead of that monkey chick, replace her with the original girl (her name's Debby, right?). Same can be said for that bearded lady...
- Add more "freaky" elements to it
EarthChild's rating:
People who added this item 602 Average listal rating (345 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 5.9
- More character development! Terri herslef is just so bland, the love interest is a bore and the mean girl is... the mean girl
- Don't have Terri feel the need to leave the school just because something makes her sad/reminds her of her brother
- When your side characters are more engaging and/or more likable than your main characters, you have a serious predicament
- A more interesting story would be nice
- Create a new formula for these coming-out-of-your-shell movies

Halloween II (2009)
- Stick to the plot of the original sequel
- What's with Micheal's mother's ghost? And that white horse? Wha...?
- Adjust Laurie's character (much like what I said about the remake)
- Don't make it at all!

Jack (1996)
Again, Nostalgia Critic review.
- Focus more on his whole life rather than just his 10-year-old life
- Flesh out Jack's character more
- You may want to fix the music score in some moments, Ford Coppola
People who added this item 1210 Average listal rating (819 ratings) 5 IMDB Rating 6.1
Cars 2 (2011)
- Just leave Cars as its own film. Please...?
People who added this item 676 Average listal rating (448 ratings) 4.4 IMDB Rating 4.8
- Keep some of the comedy, add more of the horror
- More creative kills
- No Redman, please
- No issue with Tiffany being a good mother, but can she keep some of her personality from the previous film?
- Just make Glen have multiple personality disorder. No need for the whole "I'm half guy-half girl" anatomy

2012 (2009)
- Give the main characters more conflict and less luck
- More development on the the main adult characters (i.e. the divorced couple)
- Could you maybe add a wee bit of coherency to the story?
- Have the characters grieve more over Gordon's death. Hell, how about the deaths of those they know? (except Yuri. He had it coming)
EarthChild's rating:
People who added this item 4723 Average listal rating (3232 ratings) 6.1 IMDB Rating 6.4
- Give more depth into Danny Quaid's character
- More suspense in some of the climactic moments
- Less pointless one-liners/lines in general
- More development in Quaid's character's friendship with the other two men
- A wee bit more coherency
EarthChild's rating:
People who added this item 369 Average listal rating (215 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6.3
- More originality in the plot
- A better written villian song
- Make the double-headed dragon less annoying (i.e. better lines)
- Place "The Prayer" in a scene where it works!
- Give a reason as to why the sword in the stone didn't cure Garrett's blindness
