21 films! That's how many Marvel movies you'd need to watch to have a complete understanding of what's going to happen in this week's massive release, Avengers: Endgame.

I read through a lot of submissions, and there was a lot to like! I'm very excited to see how … Continue reading Using Script Coverage To Become A Better Writer
Robert Rodriguez has no doubt created some amazing films. I just saw Alita: Battle Angel, his most recent film, and it's amazing. Did you know it's one of the first films that was filmed with 3D cameras since Avatar? If you still haven't seen it, make sure to watch in 3D.
