More on Drew McWeeny
Description from Wikipedia:
Drew McWeeny (born May 26, 1970), also known by his pseudonym Moriarty, is a film critic, screenwriter, and the west coast editor of the Ain't It Cool News website.
He attended, but did not graduate from, Florida State University, instead choosing to focus on a career in entertainment in Los Angeles. He has two sons, Toshiro Lucas McWeeny, born in 2005 and Allen Miles McWeeny, born in 2008.
McWeeny was the subject of controversy in 1999 when a screenplay he had co-written was favorably reviewed by Harry Knowles on the website "Ain't It Cool News". In reviewing the script, Knowles did not disclose that McWeeney was a regular contributor to the website under the name "Moriarty." Film Threat magazine would later accuse of Knowles of lacking journalist integrity.
McWeeny, along with partner Scott Swan, has since become a working television writer, writing two episodes in the "Masters of Horror" strand, both directed by John Carpenter. The pair also co-wrote the episode "Skin and Bones" for the NBC horror/suspense anthology television series "Fear Itself (TV series)". In May of 2008 it was announced that "Bat Out of Hell" , a major motion picture written by McWeeny and Swan, would be directed by Joe Dante. He also continues to work as a film critic, though he has been banned from Twentieth Century Fox press screenings.
