I go by either "Steven" or "Steve" it really doesn't matter. I'm not a professional screenwriter anymore, so there's no need to suck up to me and send me your latest script. I have zero ambition to work in the entertainment industry. I'm now just a regular guy who knows a bit about storytelling, wants to share that knowledge to inspire new writers, and to share my work with everyone!
2019 GRADE B-C MOVIES
When it came to watching this movie, I was on the fence. Brei Larson’s comments regarding having more diversity at press conferences; honestly, didn’t bother me too much. Hollywood embraces trends, and at this moment in time, diversity and girl power is just one of the many SJW narratives out […]

I watched two episodes of Doom Patrol and gave up, so this is not a complete review of the season. If it gets better, please let me know, but I’m throwing in the towel. I just don’t wanna waste my time. I entered into this show with a positive bias […]

WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD? Type Twos are the compulsive givers of the Enneagram. Their choice of engine doesn’t matter, as long as it’s powerful enough to tow their trailer of love. Generosity powers their motor, playing savior – is their nitrous. The hospitality of a Two is free. But when […]
2019 GRADE A MOVIES
Let’s get one thing straight. Alita is not gonna win the Oscar anytime soon. Let’s get another thing straight. The Oscars are overrated and suck. I personally think they like to sniff Michael Moore’s pizza farts. For the most part, movies that win the Oscars are extremely boring to watch. […]

MAVERICK REVIEWS
TOO MANY LOGICAL FAILURES One of the major rules that I have with storytelling is “to make it believable.” It doesn’t matter if you’re writing the next installment of the MCU universe, or writing a business proposal for your start-up, you need to make your idea – believable. Whatever you’re […]
