FlixChatter Review: The Adam Project (2022)

Time travel is a popular sci-fi sub-genre and it’s one that, despite it being a rather tired plot device, is always mildly intriguing.

FlixChatter Review: THE BATMAN (2022)

Even in a saturated comic-book movie market, I find it impossible NOT to be excited for The Batman. I love what Matt Reeves did with the Planet of the Apes trilogy, somehow he could make an oft-told subject matter feels fresh and new again. It’s already well-known even for casual Batman fans that Gotham City …
