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!

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 […]

GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE IS GOOD

This is a really quick review that includes no spoilers. I’m not going to analyze much here because if I tell too much, I may spoil a really good movie for you. I’ll write a review for this movie, maybe a few months from now. So here are a few […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: DUNE is This Year’s Worst Movie, So Far (spoilers)

I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE IT! Dune premiered on the big screen and on HBO MAX, at the same time. So, like many subscribers, I had the choice to plunk down fifteen dollars, or to watch it free. After watching countless trailers with my friends, who actively work in the […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: NO TIME TO DIE (Spoilers with warning)

NO TIME TO DIE IS A GOOD MOVIE WITH MAJOR PLOTHOLES I’m not really a huge fan of James Bond movies. Meaning, I don’t own any of the movies, but I will watch them when it’s streamed for free, or when it comes out in the theaters. As a straight […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS (spoilers)

Shang-Chi is a great movie from beginning to end, safe for the kids to watch, and in my opinion, one of the best movies of the MCU. Why is it so great? Well, you’ll have to keep reading to find that out, or – if you’re lazy, you can just […]

THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD…is average (minor spoilers)

THIS MOVIE TRIES TOO HARD TO BE GOOD I like Angelina Jolie, but in this movie, it seems as though she tries to be a bit too cool.  I’m not sure if it’s bad directing or bad acting, or just plain bad ideas, but for me, it doesn’t work.  The […]

A QUIET PLACE 2 IS GOOD

I SAW THIS IN THE THEATERS! I haven’t seen many movies in the theaters since this pandemic started, and let me tell you, it was just a breath of fresh air to experience a big screen and overpriced soda, once again.  If you’re wondering how much I paid for my […]

TENET IS FREAKING CONFUSING…

WAIT…WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? I’m going to be a bit harsh when I say this, but I’m going to come out and just say it.  Why is Christopher Nolan still allowed to make movies?  His name should be up there with Michael Bay’s, on a list of banned filmmakers.  […]
