	Movies - Drew McWeeny

Drew McWeeny, 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 an entertainment-centric career in Los Angeles.

McWeeny has been the subject of controversy when, in 1999, one of his scripts (Amusements) was favorably reviewed by Harry Knowles on the Ain't It Cool News website. His position as one of the contributors to the site (as Moriarty) was not disclosed in the review. This has led to allegations of a conflict of interest between his professional and non-professional lives.

In December of 2005, his first film aired on Showtime as part of the Masters of Horror series. Directed by John Carpenter, the episode Cigarette Burns was shown at both the Torino Film Festival and at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon in Austin. In April of 2005, he and his co-writer Scott Swan will reteam with Carpenter for a second original episode of the series.

He has one son, Toshiro Lucas McWeeny, born in 2005. His son was named after famous Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune and Star Wars director George Lucas.
