Fresh out of her Best Screenplay Oscar win in 2021 for Promising Young Woman, no doubt Emerald Fennell could get pretty much any project green-lit. Just two years later, her sophomore feature, Saltburn, is one the most buzzed-about films of the last half of this year. Her debut feature was described as bold and provocative, …

FlixChatter Review: Dream Scenario (2023) – Nic Cage is hysterical as a hapless man caught on a rollercoaster of newfound fame
As someone who often has strange, even unsettling dreams every night, I was really curious to see a movie about dreams, with the incomparable Nicolas Cage, no less. Cage isn’t a chameleon in the sense that he can disappear into any role, on the contrary, we go see his movies to see the Cage being …
FlixChatter Review: WISH (2023) – no amount of fairy dust on the screen could magically turn this mediocre Disney movie into a magnificent one
I grew up watching Disney animated movies so I have a special fondness for them which have mostly been turned into live-action versions with varying degrees of success. My faves are still the classics I saw as a kid, i.e. Bambi, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc. Wish is the 62nd Disney animated feature and was created …

As I’m taking an indefinite break from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe to those who aren’t so comic-book-inclined), little did I know that I’ve stumbled into another huge cinematic universe: the MonsterVerse. Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures have created five films and two TV series so far, with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters being the …
FlixChatter Review – David Fincher’s The Killer (2023) is a lean and mean thriller with terrific fight scenes
It has been almost a decade since I saw a film by David Fincher. His last film, Gone Girl, hit theaters back in the fall of 2014 and he hasn’t released a film until 2020’s Mank, a film that I have yet to see and I’m just not that interested in seeing it. Just like …
FlixChatter Review: Taika Waititi’s Next Goal Wins (2023) starring Michael Fassbender
When I think of soccer (well, football for those of you across the pond), I often think of it as a low-scoring game. That makes the world record score of 31-0 between Australia and American Samoa even more shocking… and humiliating for the people on the tiny South Pacific island. The American Samoa national football …
