MAVERICK REVIEW: Pokemon: “Detective Pikachu” Surprisingly Great! (Spoilers)

OVERALL RATING: I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end.  I’m not at all a fan of Pokemon, in any shape or form.  When that viral game swept the nation a few years ago and people everywhere were going nuts trying to catch Pokemon, I sat on the sidelined […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: The Avenger’s Endgame (spoilers)

I saw Avenger’s Endgame twice and loved it both times. It’s a great movie and I’ll definitely end up buying this stream on my Amazon prime (I don’t own any physical Blu-Ray’s anymore, if you’re curious). I give this movie a solid A, despite its clear script problems that I’ll […]

Shazam! Great Movie For the Family (No Spoilers)

This is pretty much a biased review because I have a soft spot for Zachary Levi, as he played the superhero nerd in the TV show “Chuck.” Shazam is an all around fun movie that’s you can take your kids to share a great laugh. It’s not gory and there’s […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Unplanned (spoilers) – It Was Moving.

Unplanned is a Christian movie based upon the life of Abby Johnson, a clinic director of Planned Parenthood who left the organization after becoming pro-life. The movie is Rated “R” for good reason, as there are a few abortion scenes in here that are quite unsettling. It’s not exactly graphic, […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: “Us” (spoilers – with warning 1st)

Us is the second theatrical movie to be directed by Jordan Peele, and I have to admit, he produced, wrote, and directed a great movie – once again. Overall, the movie gets a solid A from me despite a LOAD of missteps in the screenplay that I’ll identify later. The […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Alita: Battle Angel

Let’s get one thing straight. Alita is not gonna win the Oscar anytime soon. Let’s get another thing straight. The Oscars are overrated and suck. I personally think they like to sniff Michael Moore’s pizza farts. For the most part, movies that win the Oscars are extremely boring to watch. […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Punisher Season 2: Enneagram Breakdown (Spoilers)

Let me jump straight out of the block and say that the entire Punisher series on Netflix has been Grade A-plus material. Season 2, especially, has been outstanding. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out before you continue reading any more of this review. It’s that good. I […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Into the Spider-Verse (No Spoilers)

Probably the best Spider-Man movie to date! Holy tamale Batman! This movie was freaking awesome! Where do I start? It’s well written. I mean, really well written. That script is – wow. Let’s just say it’s probably tough to write and they really pulled it off. I’m not even sure […]
