MAVERICK REVIEW: HUSTLERS – (spoilers)

Hustler was a great movie that was written, directed, and acted well. I went to this movie because there was really nothing else playing and I needed to spend my free ticket before it expired. All I have to say is that I’m glad I did! ACTING PERFORMANCE This movie […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Once Upon a Time (spoilers)

Tarintino’s much-awaited ninth film hit the theaters this week, and I was first in line to watch it. I’m pretty much on an island when it comes to my feeling about Tarintino, because while 99% of artists and filmmakers adore him, I feel he’s pretty overrated. Before I begin my […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Extracurricular Activities (Spoilers)

I’ll be the first to tell you, I’m not a fan of independent movies. I love high concept films, the big-budget blockbusters, the CGI infected movies that are shot like video games, even sometimes based on video games. It’s just the way I am. Every now and then, though, I […]

If you have been living under a rock for the past five years and have no idea who John Wick is, let me bring you up to speed. John Wick was a former assassin, one of the world’s best, and had slipped into retirement after finding love. Unfortunately, as fate […]

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 […]

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: What About Bob? Great Movie – Genius Script.

I was in High School when What About Bob premiered and enjoyed every second of it. I’m not sure if I saw it in the theaters. I could have – I really don’t remember. But ever since then, it’s been one of my “go to movies” if I ever wanted […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Captive State is NOT Captivating (Spoilers)

I would pass on this movie – maybe even run. Maybe you can wait for Netflix – maybe HBO. It’s not a movie that you want to fork over fifteen dollars for. I wouldn’t even watch this for free if I really think about it. The only reason why I […]

MAVERICK REVIEWS / MAVERICK STORYTELLING: Agenda Driven Scripts

MAVERICK SCRIPT REVIEW: Captain Marvel – Agenda Driven? (Spoilers)

I’ll be the first to tell you that it is virtually impossible to pen any script, or to tell any story, without forming a bias. Storytelling by default has a slant, not to mention, an agenda, and there’s really no getting around it. It’s just the nature of the beast. […]
