BLOCKBUSTER REVIEWS: 
"This guy is the best script doctor in the movie industry, and this program makes you tell a good story whether you want to or not. A winner. If you even toy with the idea of storytelling, you must have this product. Highly recommended." 
John C. Dvorak, PC Magazine 

"I'm not exaggerating: Truby's Blockbuster revolutionized how I work. It's the simplest way I've ever found to build structure, character and theme. If you use a computer to write screenplays, you'll want Blockbuster." 
Laurence Dworet, screenwriter Outbreak 

"Blockbuster is an ingenious and multilevel guide through the maze of story organization... way ahead of any other writing tool I know of." 
Jeff Arch, screenwriter Sleepless in Seattle

" I think of all of them Truby's the best. I actually use Blockbuster, because I think he's really good. For my taste, his stuff cuts the deepest, and allows you to develop the most detailed structure and outline." 
Larry Wilson, screenwriter Beetlejuice, The Addams Family 

"Blockbuster is all that it is advertised to be, a virtual screenwriting school, and a great one at that." 
Skip Press, The Complete Idiot's Guilde to Screenwriting 

"As a result of Blockbuster, I won a Gold Award at the Charleston Film Festival, and a Bronze Award at the Houston Film Festival in the Comedy category." 
Mike Ellis, screenwriter 

"My pleasure to let you know an agent has picked up three of my screenplays. All were written by the guidelines of Blockbuster." 
James Russell, screenwriter 

"Truby's Blockbuster provides a structure both to elicit and keep track of the multitude of ideas and details that emerge in transforming the first vague musings into the finished project." 
L. R. Shannon, New York Times  

"Among the legions of screenplay guru devotees, few would deny that John Truby is the most cutting edge of the lot. For success, Truby and his software is a match made in screenwriting heaven... No, Blockbuster will not solve all of writing's perennial ills, but it does bring the cure several giant steps closer."
