TREEZ!: The Movie (comedy/horror-satire, 30-45 minutes)
After years of pollution and Global Warming, humans have forsaken their only home. So, to fix most of the problem, the earth has started to fight back in the form of Killer Vegetation (eh?). The only sanctuary for survivors are desolate wastelands and beaches, pretty much anywhere without plants. The main and his buddies must make their way to the beach, some 10 miles away, on foot before the vegetation start photosynthesizing at dawn. With chainsaws and hedgeclippers at the ready, the protagonists start their journey, only to find that the plants aren't the only enemy.
(absurd, i know. but like i said, it's not serious.)

"Writings of War" (War/Drama, feature length)
A mysterious book is found in an archaeological dig far in the future. Written in English, a dead language, the government decides to examine the text more closely and uncover the meaning. Meanwhile, said country has had war declared on it by a rising enemy. During translation, the scholars who are trying to read it realize certain similarities with it and recent reports from the frontlines, uncanny similarities. The army begins to mass produce the book in field manuals, or, what the've been able to print before it is stolen covertly by the enemy. Armed with field translators, the squadrons of Army 1 are able to predict airstrikes, grenades, and pretty much all attacks. The only problem is, sometimes the translators screw up.
Deciding that the war simply cannot be won without the book, a spec ops division is launched to reclaim it. The opposing army has taken much longer to translate it, because their root language is completely different. This is the prime opprotunity to reclaim it. While on the mission, the spec ops division is KIA, except for one low ranking officer. In a bold move, he takes the dead translators equipment and attempts to reclaim the original copy. He finally fights his way to it, but before he can translate more than "AND THEN HE WAS SHOT," he was killed brutally. As his body fell to the floor, he reached for the text and siezed only the brown, decaying cover of it, thus tearing it to reveal "Compiled Tales Of Frontline WWII." end.

so whacha think.

i like the first one better than the second one.....

i think that the whole "history repeating" deal is just way too literal in the second one for me to buy into it.
