on A young corporate suffers a breakdown that links him to a traditional religion that destroyed his culture. He must overcome an internal conflict and re-discover his spiritual faith so that his identity isn’t diminished forever.

It's not clear what "breakdown that links him" means. Can you make things more specific, because I don't get what exactly is going on. "Internal conflict," "identity [is] diminished," etc are very vague terms.
on An immortal alien race must come out of hiding on earth and reunite, when an ancient enemy threatens humanity.

I see this is posted under the "Examples" category. Is it an existing movie, then? Which one?
on After being bullied because of her autism, a misunderstood college student joins a secret sorority group of girls only to find out she has a kill a fellow student.

on A cold-hearted journalist records a documentary about a very talented e-sport player until she discovers the hardness of being born unlucky.

CHARACTER: "A cold-hearted journalist..." Okay, that's definitely a flaw and a possible start for a transformation arc. EVENT: You don't have one. No inciting incident. We know she is shooting a documentary about an e-sport player (whatever that is... What…
on After being cast out from a pack of wolves, an hybrid child is educated by a Djinn? to become the Egyptian god of the Dead Anubis.

So is this an origin story for Anubis? I find this very fascinating. Just note that Anubis has the head of a jackal, not a wolf. Also, Djinns exist in the Arabic mythology (1001 Nights etc), which is thousands of…
on During the Egyptian Unification War, a hybrid must fulfill his destiny; but when a corpse awakes, he must discover the human soul to become the god of the dead Anubis. ★ Accepted

OK, there is a lot of house cleaning you must do here. 1. The Egyptian Unification War is not an event that everybody has in their minds. At first, I was looking for a 20th century event. Hey, I am…
on A struggling Aborginal widow is determined to make her 4 bi-racial daughters into a huge international girl band to guarantee they’ll never see poverty again.

1. Is this a credible premise? Do you want the audience to actually believe that she has a chance or to perceive her as delusional? 2. OK, lets say this is her desire. What action does she take in order…
on Two NYT investigators must pursue three decades of sexually harassed women to incriminate a powerful film producer.

Two NYT investigators must pursue three decades of sexually harassed women to incriminate a powerful film producer. 1. What is "NYT?" 2. What do you mean "pursue three decades of sexually harassed women?" Are they currently investigating, opening past cases…

on ? ?Dos j?venes mujeres, desnudan sus virtudes y miserias cuando embarazos no deseados las arrojan ante una realidad que las asecha voraz?

En ingles, por favor! Many of us are not native English speakers (I am Greek, for example), but we can't all make this site look like the Babel Tower. English is an adequate and helpful convention, don't you think? Gracias!
on A na?ve teenager takes a job as an interstellar mailman, to move to a paradise planet. On the job, he gets chased by foreign agents and assassins and discovers his paradise isn’t as good as it sounds

It sounds like a juicy sci-fi comedy. Well done! Do consider the previous comments for fixing the story, but I love the "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or "Space Quest" feel.
on When a savage killer hunts a Chicago neighborhood, a seasoned detective must stop him; but the cop quickly becomes the prey, left with his rookie partner as the only one he can trust.

The logline practically is: "When a savage killer stalks a Chicago neighborhood, a seasoned but [flawed] detective must stop him, with the help of his [complimentary flawed] rookie partner." I keep the rookie partner element because it's the only thing…
on A celebrity priest renounces his faith after mistakenly believing he cured children of cystic fibrosis, only to discover they were victims of Munchhausen by Proxy.

I had to google both conditions. It's better not to be too specific, if it's not something most people know by name. (Why do they have to have the same disease, by the way?) The other thing is... Would anyone…
on A timid taxi driver must foil a contract killer’s plan to kill five people in one night after being forced to transport him around L.A.

Sharp & straight to the point. Just one question: why did you choose not to begin with "After being forced to transport him? "
on An ambitious young street magician must undergo a rite of death and rebirth to defeat the guardian of a magical world hidden within our own.

Here's a first rewrite: "When he discovers that his estranged father is a real spellcaster, an ambitious street magician must enter a magical world and defeat its dark lord." Problem: the EVENT seems irrelevant to the ACTION. He discovers that…
on After discovering that his mother is dying, an exiled gangster turned priest must reconcile with the family he abandoned; but when his vengeful ex partner in crime threatens their lives, he must choose between his faith and his family.

A rewrite, just for the sake of tightening (and fixing the fact that it seems to have 2 inciting incidents):After discovering his mother is dying, an exiled gangster turned priest must confront his vengeful ex partner in crime, in order…
on In a tragic incident that led to the dead of parents and the loss of her eyes as a child, a blind female psychologist who is very good in using her other senses is hired by the FBI to solve crimes.

I agree with the previous comments. You got a good character. In case you are going for a feature film (vs a TV show), use the formula's structure to mention specific inciting incident and action. "When the FBI hires her…
on After he finds out the mysterious woman he spent the night with is his fiancee’s stepmother, a troubled playboy must navigate a weekend retreat filled with sexual tension and jealousy.

"Stepmother" is lowering the stakes. Yes, a stepmother can be very close and beloved, but why choose using a "stepmother" in the story over a "mother?" Wouldn't making her of the same blood add to the conflict? Just a thought.…
