FlixChatter Review: Good Luck To You, Leo Grande (2022)

Let me preface this review by saying that I normally don't gravitate toward films with explicit sex scenes. I'm no prude, but a lot of films depicting graphic sex scenes are often gratuitous and exploitative, mostly designed for shock value. But when I first heard about  Good Luck To You, Leo Grande coming out of …

FlixChatter Review: Pixar’s LIGHTYEAR (2022)

The first Toy Story movie left such a mark when it was released 27 years ago. Woody and Buzz were rivals-turned-friends who lead fellow Andy’s toys to some crazy adventures. Woody’s story is often explored in the Toy Story franchise, but Buzz’s story is only mentioned for the fact that it’s spawned from Andy’s favorite …

FlixChatter Review: Chris Evans’ directorial debut BEFORE WE GO (2014)

I had written this review in 2016 – I'm reposting this in honor of Chris Evans' 41st birthday. I mentioned this movie in this Five for the Fifth post, which sounds kind of like Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise trilogy (heh it even has the word 'before' in the title!). We first met Chris Evans' character …

FlixChatter Review: The Valet (2022)

Sometimes you see a trailer of a movie and thought, ‘we’ve seen something like this before’ and that’s how I felt about The Valet. I had just seen Marry Me, where an ordinary, usually-invisible guy gets unwittingly roped into a high-stake ruse to avert a PR nightmare. This time it involves a famous movie star …

FlixChatter Review – Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

About halfway through the movie, a character utters the line ‘Jurassic World? Ugh, not a fan.’ Now, that character is referring to the theme park Jurassic World, which was as ill-advised an idea as there ever was, but it made me think of Jurassic World the movie. I remember rolling my eyes when I first …
