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!

One thing that you may not know about me, is that I was obsessed with Kung Fu in high school. I loved watching Kung Fu, practicing Kung Fu – I was like the song, “Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.” That means, I obviously have a bias, and to no surprise, […]

Apparently, two Will Smiths are “two” much. With Gemini Man, Ang Lee continues to prove that he is one of the most overrated directors in Hollywood. His hallmark style of cheesy exposition, over-the-top actions scenes, and bland plot, are littered throughout this movie. I’m going to jump straight to […]
2019 GRADE D-F MOVIES / MAVERICK STORYTELLING: Agenda Driven Scripts / STAR WARS
I didn’t rush to see The Rise of Skywalker, even though I’m a die-hard Star Wars fan. Through sources and leaks, I pretty much knew the entire storyline and it wasn’t a film I was too excited to see. I did not enter this movie with an unbiased attitude, I […]
MAVERICK STORYTELLING: Agenda Driven Scripts / STAR WARS
Star Wars has been a favorite story of mine since I was a kid. Throughout elementary school, I was engulfed by its merchandise. My bedsheets to my lunch box were all Star Wars. I even had their action figures. I was in it, knee-deep. My mom bought me storybooks with […]

Richard Jewell is the true-life story about an unlikely hero who saved hundreds, possibly thousands of lives, from a bomb that detonated in at Centennial Olympic Park, during the 1997 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The media immediately turned Richard Jewell into a folk hero, but that didn’t last very long. […]

If you didn’t see the first Jumanji Reboot, Welcome to the Jungle that was made in 2017, I’d highly recommend watching that movie before this one or else you’ll be lost. Jumanji: The Next Level is a great sequel that doesn’t fall into the trap of duplicating an exact storyline […]

I don’t watch a lot of Netflix movies. In my opinion, streaming flics are too slow, too boring, and some – downright too cheesy. But when the Irishman made headlines as “One of this year’s best movies,” I had to take look and see what this Netflix film was all […]

ONLY EIGHT EPISODES? I have one major complaint about Jack Ryan Season 2. Like the first season, it’s only eight seasons long! I can’t marathon Jack Ryan properly with just eight. I need at least 16 episodes! So, come on Amazon, up your budget, and give Ryan a sweet sixteen. […]

Charlie’s Angels bombed in the box office, pulling in 3.1 million dollars on their opening day. It seems as though most of America passed on this movie, and those who didn’t, hated what they saw as only 49% of the audience would recommend it, according to PostTrak. Many critics slammed […]

I finally got around to watching Terminator: Dark Fate and was pleasantly surprised. The movie is good, real good. Almost every critic out there, slammed this movie, labeling it as boring or disappointing. I don’t know why. It was well written and a lot more fun to watch than other […]
