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 […]

NETFLIX’S ULTRAMAN IS AWESOME

I watched Ultraman growing up as a kid, back in the 80s, but I was a bit too young to appreciate it for all its glory. The original Ultraman was your retro–hybrid of Iron Man and Ant-Man, – who fought Godzilla like alien creatures. The version I grew up with […]

Type Five “The Intellectual”

WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD It’s been a personal theme of mine to compare personality types to a fictional car. Lucky for me, the Type Five Personality already has one – and it’s quite awesome! And let me say it’s my favorite car in the whole world! The DeLorean Time Machine! […]

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. […]

Type Three “The Achiever”

WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD What powers the Type Three is impressive – from the engine, down to the paint job, straight to the wheels. The entire damn machine is a work of art – spotless, and showroom ready for friends, family, and strangers to enjoy. To sum it up, Threes […]

MAVERICK STORYTELLING: STEP ONE

Type Two “The Helper”

WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD? Type Twos are the compulsive givers of the Enneagram. Their choice of engine doesn’t matter, as long as it’s powerful enough to tow their trailer of love. Generosity powers their motor, playing savior – is their nitrous. The hospitality of a Two is free. But when […]

Type One “The Reformer”

WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD? To make things a bit easy on the imagination, let’s use a car to explain what a Type One personality will look like. When you steal a peek at the engine of a Type One, you’ll see an engine block, alternator, and battery, that is perfectly […]

MAVERICK REVIEW: Kid Who Would Be King (Spoilers)

TOO MANY LOGICAL FAILURES  One of the major rules that I have with storytelling is “to make it believable.”  It doesn’t matter if you’re writing the next installment of the MCU universe, or writing a business proposal for your start-up, you need to make your idea – believable.  Whatever you’re […]
