ARMY OF THE DEAD IS DOA (spoilers)

I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS ONE… Ever since I saw Bautista in Guardians of The Galaxy, I’ve been a fan.  If there’s a movie that features him as the lead, odds are I’m watching it, and the odds are that I’ll enjoy it.   Unfortunately, the odds were with the […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: JUSTICE LEAGUE – SNYDER CUT

ONE THE BEST SUPERHERO MOVIES I’VE SEEN The Snyder Cut should be a good reason to subscribe to HBO MAX.  And, I’m dead serious when I say that.  As of now, I don’t think you can buy the Snyder Cut, even on Amazon Prime.   You definitely can’t watch it in […]

EXPANDING ON THE ENNEAGRAM: All About Those Lines!

THOSE LINES MEAN SOMETHING! Here’s a big warning. If you didn’t learn the basics of the Nine Personality Types, and haven’t memorized them somehow, it’s best not to proceed.  You can proceed if you want to, but trust me on this, it’ll just start getting a bit more confusing because […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: FATMAN…was awesome (spoilers)

The only thing that sucks about Fatman is the trailer because it gives you the impression that this movie, is some type of internet joke. The trailer falsely portrays Fatman as a movie that mashes up Die Hard with Santa. Well, that’s 1000% wrong. Santa isn’t trying to be John […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Mandalorian (Season 1 & 2)

The Mandalorian saved Star Wars, and it’s really that plain and simple.  The series is not home to the best writing or direction, but that doesn’t matter, because it’s one million percent better than Star Wars: Episodes 8 &9.   The fans are happy, I’m happy, and that’s what really counts […]

Enneagram: Type Three "Achiever" / SCREENWRITING SAT. PODCAST

LEARNING STORY: The Type Three “Achiever”

The Type Three “Achiever,” in my opinion, is the scariest type of personality because they can con you into believing anything! They are the best communicators, most likable personalities, and have a knack for drawing crowds. As for screenwriting, they are one of the funnest personality types to write. Tony […]
