I've just wrapped The Expanse series finale a couple of weeks ago which ended with a bang. I feel like there's still SO much exciting stories to tell in that universe, and am still trying to process that there won't be season 7 😦 Well, I'm on the lookout for new series to get on …

January 2022 Viewing Recap + Movie(s) Of The Month
Wow, the first month of 2022 has come and gone! Well, January was pretty busy with work after a rather slow couple of months during the holidays. It's been a cold month with more days with subzero temps, ugh, but at least I count myself lucky we didn't get dumped with crazy Winter storm like …

FlixChatter Review: Drive My Car (2021)
I know I’ve been lamenting about movies with long running time, even though some of my fave classic movies are 3 hours long or longer. Drive My Car has a 2hr 59 min running time but it’s actually based on a short story collection called Men Without Women. That title is kind of a giveaway …

FlixChatter Review – VENOM: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
I’m a big fan of Tom Hardy, but for some reason I just wasn’t interested in seeing Venom back in 2018.

Netflix Picks: Atlantics (2019)
Netflix has a ridiculous amount of content but it doesn't mean it's actually easy to find a movie that's truly worth watching. I had heard about Atlantics when it won Cannes' Grand Jury Prize back in 2019, which then got acquired by Netflix. It made news as it marked as the first movie directed by …
