Mere hours until buh-bye to 2009. Movie sites/blogs alike are abuzz with talks of awards and their picks of best-of lists. Well, since I haven’t seen some of those taunted as ‘the best’ of the year (i.e. Hurt Locker, Up in the Air, etc.), I ‘m going to delay my best-of list until sometime in [...]

Looks like the last FlixChatter’s news post in 2009 will end with some bizarre ones. So let’s get to ‘em, shall we? Pride & Prejudice meets Zombies It doesn’t get more bizarre than this. Based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the movie will focus on heroine Elizabeth Bennet’s quest for love [...]

Well, by now most of you have probably seen Avatar, and judging from the search terms people used to find my — and others’ — blog, one could deduce that Sam Worthington’s celebrity has pretty much ‘arrived.’ Ever since that flick came out, roughly 99% of the search terms listed on my blog dashboard is [...]

Posted in Flix News, tagged Guy Ritchie, Guy Ritchie's Bromances, Jude Law, movies, reviews, Robert Downey Jr., Rocknrolla trilogy, Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes review on December 28, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Let’s just say one thing for sure, this isn’t your grandfather’s Sherlock Holmes. This version breathes the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, but purists beware that Guy Ritchie definitely takes some, ok a lot of liberties with his interpretation of the legendary detective. Reportedly, Madonna’s ex is a Holmes aficionado who’s clearly been [...]

My go-to review site RottenTomatoes.com has a regular feature where random movie actors/directors list their five favorite movies and why. Earlier this month, it featured AVATAR’s star Sam Worthington’s Five Favorite Films. Please note these are his favorites, not his ‘best films’ list: Lethal Weapon 2 (1989, 82% Tomatometer) Lethal Weapon 2 — because that’s [...]

It’s what our local newspaper call a very Messy Christmas today with nonstop icky snow and sleet outside. There’s already at least a foot of snow already on the ground, our grill and plastic chairs on the deck are buried in snow, and so are most cars parked outside. Some of you are spending time [...]
Merry Christmas from FlixChatter

When I woke up this morning, it’s like a Winter Wonderland out there with the pretty snow-covered tree branches and the fluffy white stuff everywhere. It’s been snowing non-stop since yesterday, and by the end of the long snowstorm, there’ll be at least a foot or two on the ground. So those who’ve been dreaming [...]

I had planned on posting a top ten list, alas, I didn’t get to finish it in time. So in the meantime, check out these new stills from the next Robin Hood flick (thanks to MovieInsider.com). If you haven’t already, check out the trailer I posted last week. With quite a few days off until [...]

To say Avatar is like nothing you’ve seen before is a quite an understatement. Back in June, I list Avatar as one of five must-see flix of the rest of 2009 and ever since then, the hype promised it to be something of an epic thrill ride. Well, I can confidently say that fifteen years [...]
