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!
2020 GRADE A MOVIES / Enneagram: Type Six "Loyalist" / MAVERICK REVIEWS
The Mandalorian saved Star Wars, and it’s really that plain and simple. The series is not home to the best writing or direction, but that doesn’t matter, because it’s one million percent better than Star Wars: Episodes 8 &9. The fans are happy, I’m happy, and that’s what really counts […]
2020 GRADE B-C MOVIES / MAVERICK REVIEWS
WW84 Delivers…A Sigh… 2020 is coming to a close, and finally, FINALLY, we had a blockbuster movie to look forward to! So…In case you’re living under a rock, WW84 could be seen at the theater, or on HBOMax. I opted to watch the movie on HBOMax, purely beacuse my local […]
Enneagram: Type Three "Achiever" / SCREENWRITING SAT. PODCAST
The Type Three “Achiever,” in my opinion, is the scariest type of personality because they can con you into believing anything! They are the best communicators, most likable personalities, and have a knack for drawing crowds. As for screenwriting, they are one of the funnest personality types to write. Tony […]
SCREENWRITING SAT. PODCAST
It’s all about the Type Two “Helper” today! Yes, that overly generous personality that wants to earn your love, by helping you out. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll attach a string to it, so they can pull on it – so you can help them out! Who’s a Type Two? […]
SCREENWRITING SAT. PODCAST
In today’s Screenwriting Saturday podcast, I chat about The Type One “Reformer.” This typically, is the hero character in a fantasy script, the Captain America, John Wick, or even Batman (on the unhealthy end). They fly by their own set of moral codes, often against the establishment. The podcast is […]
2020 GRADE A MOVIES / Enneagram: Type Four "Individualist"
PARIS HILTON IS NOT THE DITZY PRIVILEGED BLOND This will be just a quick review because I really want to just start dissecting Paris Hilton’s personality. If you have not seen this documentary, you should. The movie is well made and unbelievably honest given that it’s made by the person […]
2020 GRADE D-F MOVIES / Enneagram: Type Six "Loyalist" / MAVERICK REVIEWS
DISHONEST & DISTURBING FILMMAKING “Netflix’s Cuties is too intelligent and moving to be marred by one bad-taste poster” – The Independent Uhm…what? Cuties is far from intelligent or moving, and it is more than just a bad-taste movie poster. It is a movie that crossed the line of decency, when […]
2020 GRADE B-C MOVIES
I remember when I first saw the trailer to this movie, I thought, “Oh great, it’s another one of those, Hunt The Innocent Stories.“ And in all honesty, it was – haha. There’s way too many of these movies. You have The Purge, The Hunger Games, just to name the […]
2020 GRADE D-F MOVIES
IT’S NOT GOOD… So, before I dive into my review, I have to disclose something here. While I am a professional storyteller and make a living off charging for my creative abilities, I am not a true artist. True artists live through their art, it’s part of their identity, their […]
Enneagram Type Nine "Peacekeeper"
WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD The engine that powers a Type Nine is nothing too loud, because it might upset the neighbors, and nothing too powerful to test the limits of safety. Their motor is reliable and effecient. Is it a game-changer? It could be, but you won’t know it. THEIR […]
