Hollywood Screenwriting Vet Alan Trustman Launches MoviesWorthWatching.com.

LOS ANGELES -- Screen Scribe for "The Thomas Crown Affair," "Bullitt" Pens Website Focused on "Emotional Satisfaction"

Hollywood screenwriting veteran Alan Trustman, writer of award-winning films "The Thomas Crown Affair," "Bullitt," "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" and more, announced today the launch of MoviesWorthWatching.com. The site offers up current reviews on notable films as well as features on what script elements make a screenplay commercially successful.

"Once upon a time, Hollywood made movies with characters you liked, or at least fascinated you sufficiently to keep you happily spending nearly two hours at an emotional distance of six feet from them, experiencing their feelings and problems, wondering how everything would all come out, and somehow knowing that you would leave the theatre emotionally satisfied," said Trustman.

"That still happens occasionally and when I am lucky enough to see movies like that, I review them on this site."

The author of The Screenplay Sell, Trustman has taught screenwriting at Harvard, NYU and Exeter. His articles on film have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, the Washington Post, and more. He is a member of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, The Writer's Guild of America and has served as a panelist for both the Toronto International and Austin Film Festivals.

With dozens of screenplays to his credit, and decades of experience in the film industry, Trustman brings a uniquely informed perspective to MoviesWorthWatching.com.

"This is a terrific web site, the only one out there that reviews only movies you should see, explains why, and tells you how one of our greatest living screenwriters thinks they could have been even better!" said Roger Corman.

Unlike other film sites, MoviesWorthWatching.com focuses on providing reliable recommendations, as opposed to assigning a "thumbs up, thumbs down" or star-based rating system.

"If I do not think a movie is worth seeing, I don't review it," said Trustman.

"Most movies that fail have cost a lot of money and absorbed the time, energy, hopes and dreams of numerous talented people, many of whose careers will have been shattered by the movie's failure. I wish them better success next time out and I sympathize with their disappointment and misery. Certainly, they can do without my having fun at their expense. Meanwhile, there are movies that are well worth watching, and I only wish there were more."
