on In the near future a young woman works for a corrupt committee imposing radical parental exams on couples to control population growth.

If I mention any more about the young woman then the logline will turn into a synopsis. She goes though a lot changes while working for the committee.
on In an alternate 1930s metropolis, an airplane mechanic turned cyborg and an heiress turned adventurer must form a team to battle gangsters who have stolen experimental technology and plan to take over the city.

Maybe instead of mentioning the cyborg part and the heiress turn adventurer part just write two unlikely partners team together...? Also don't mention the stolen tech and just mention that gangsters want to take over the city.
on A demonically supercharged serial killer dupes his way into a single mother’s life which rouses a talented FBI agent from retirement and awakens Poseidon.

I am keeping it simple to keep the mystery. This script is 40 pages. If you read it you'll get the just ? you have helped yes because you've given me a clue of a scene I needed to place…
on A dangerous serial killer charms his way into a single Mom’s life which brings a talented FBI agent out of retirement to work on the case whilst supernatural Neptune is also awakened to help.

Thanks I will keep working on the logline!
on Jinn returns home, confident he can save his daughter’s soul and bring her back to life, but at the cost of his sanity. [v2] [Short Film] [ Dark Fantasy] [Horror]

Also you should leave out v2 , short film and dark fantasy horror. Instead of Jinn maybe dad..?
on Professor Tai Russo returns cursed artifacts from Noveau Island where 17th century Scottish spirit was exiled to and Tai must find the spirit peace before the artifacts possessive powers take over.

You could leave out the profs name and that the spirit was exiled. Other than that its good.
on Cutting Corners When a veteran and a rookie contract killer happen to kill the wrong guy for a mafia kingpin, ?they race against time to produce a new body before ending up next on the hit-list:? A real killer story.

Yes sounds confusing and the way you place the question mark.
on A moving man, unaware of valuable objects in his storage, finds himself chased by mobsters on one side and the US military on the other.

Looks great thanks..!!!
on A moving man, unaware of valuable objects in his storage, finds himself chased by mobsters on one side and the US military on the other.

Mover is a former stuntman turn mover due to lack of movie work in order to support his family. The objects are alien artifacts that the military want back and also stolen mob money he has but unaware of.
on A dangerous serial killer charms his way into a single Mom’s life which brings a talented FBI agent out of retirement to work on the case whilst supernatural Neptune is also awakened to help.

It can have both.
on Two goofball Navy seals go back in time to Valley Forge and help out George Washington.

If you look at the logline for the Wizard of Oz does not mention the tinman , witch or the scarecrow etc. Just mentions girl gets transported to a magical land and tries to find her way back home. So…
on When a young 2.0 human, created by machines, discovers he is a part of an old project to reintroduce the human species on planet Earth, he travels across the world to be with others like him but is ultimately disappointed with his species.

Like the plot and the struggle involved with the main character and sure would love to know the ending..!
on With time running out on his worker visa, an immigrant with a wife and children in Iran desperately searches for a woman who will marry him so he can stay in Denmark.

Sounds like the reality show that is out there just hope there is more to the story like twist and turns.
on Set in 19th Century England, when a teenage bride, sold by her impoverished father into a loveless but financially secure marriage, falls in love with an estate worker, she must conceal the affair with multiple murders.

I could just envision the sets and costumes from that period and story unfolding. I sure would like to see it on screen.
on When a skilled but reckless sergeant takes over a bomb disposal team in war-torn Iraq, his weary crew must struggle even harder to survive the last 38 days of their tour.

Sounds like a nerve racking and suspenseful story of the military most dangerous branch.
on When a lonely IRS agent starts hearing the voice of an unknown author plotting his murder in her next crime novel, he must find and stop her before she literally writes him off.

Sounds like the making of a noir feature from that era.
on After the sole engineer at a moon mining site discovers he’s an expendable clone who will be exterminated in two weeks instead of returned to earth, he enlists the cooperation of his replacement clone to stay alive.

Very high concept sounds interesting and would make for a good cliff hanger in outer space.
on Professor Taian Russo returns possessed artifacts from a mysterious island where Heather, a 17th century Scottish woman, was exiled to.? He must help her find peace before her possessive powers take full control.

Very very helpful! The Lady of the Heather was the supposed great granddaughter of Bonnie Prince Charlie, and a Jacobite. There is a book by Will Lawson on her. Screenplay I wrote 91 pages. In my screenplay she's falsely accused…
on After killing the son of a biker, a fugitive decides to go the run with his estranged daughter.

on A psychiatrist must confront doubts about his profession and himself while reluctantly treating a 17 year old boy who blinded 6 horses.

Hello,At first glance, the first few words from "A psychiatrist must confront doubts about his profession and himself while reluctantly treating- " work. Yet, for me "a 17 year old boy who blinded 6 horses" does not.? (I also think…
