Articles written by: Steve Young

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!

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse…sucks (no spoilers)

TOO LONG AND TOO BORING Hollywood writers are on strike as I tap out this review, and I have to be honest – this may be a good excuse for studios to walk away from the unions, and bring in some fresh new blood.  I love Spider-Man.  I really enjoyed […]

ANT-MAN AND WASP: QUANTUMANIA (spoilers!)

I WANT MY MONEY BACK Out of all the MCU movies, the Ant-Man storyline has to be one of my favorites. Now, when I heard the Ant-Man was joining the MCU, I honestly thought it was a bad idea because I thought the Ant-Man was just cheesy. But that opinion […]

MARRY ME: Has a lot of charm

IT’S HALLMARK, JUST BETTER I had a lot of fun watching Marry Me. It kept popping up in my Amazon feed, and I finally told myself, “Okay, it can’t be that bad….” And, to my great satisfaction, it wasn’t! Marry Me stars Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in a romantic […]

BLACK ADAM ~ sigh ~

I WANTED TO LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I’m a fan of Dwayne Johnson.   His blend of muscle, humor, and charm, always makes for great entertainment.  I thought I would get my usual dose of “The Rock” in Black Adam, but unfortunately, the movie fell flat on its face.  The action scenes […]

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is a big mess

WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I JUST WATCH? I guess I’m on an island when I say this, “But this movie just didn’t work for me.” In fact, this movie didn’t work for my mom, or my aunt, who both dozed off a few times. Before I get into the […]

As of March 2022, President Joe Biden has been in office for around 13 months, and so far, his track record as our Commander in Cheif has not been impressive. At the time of this writing, Russia declared war with Ukraine, due much to President Biden’s insistence that Ukraine join […]

THE ADAM PROJECT: A GREAT MOVIE (no spoilers)

THIS WAS A FUN MOVIE I just watched The Adam Project last night, while smoking a brisket, and I loved every second of it. It’s a fun movie that had me smiling all the way through. There are some critics who have said this movie is “Fun yet forgettable.” Well, […]

THE BATMAN: Not bad, but not great (spoilers, warning first)

When I first saw the trailers of The Batman, I immediately formed a bias against the movie. I thought to myself, “Oh no, not another Batman movie. Can we stop rebooting The Bat? Can we stop telling his origin story over and over again? Pretty Please?” Trailers were supposed to […]

MATRIX RESURRECTIONS: WORST MOVIE OF 2021

WHY?  WHY!  WHY! I realize this movie is a 2021 release, but since it was so close to 2022, I’m going to also file it under 2022. I am so glad I didn’t see Matrix Ressurections in the movie theater, because this movie was flat out – horrible.  Matrix Ressurections […]
