FlixChatter Review: Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) – Jim Jarmusch’s droll, eccentric dysfunctional-family triptych with a stellar cast
Welcome to the first new release review of the year! As many of us have just spent the holidays or the new year with our family members, the subject matter of this one should resonate well. This Jim Jarmusch movie is the first new release that I watched this year. His films have a …

FlixChatter Review: The Secret Agent (2025) – A tense, vivid and surreal journey during Brazil’s ‘time of mischief’ with the magnetic Wagner Moura
When I first saw the trailer of The Secret Agent, I immediately thought of I’m Still Here, one of my favorite films of 2024, as both deal with the country's 2-decade military dictatorship.

The week leading up to Christmas, I decided to watch DAVID, created by Sunrise Animation, a production company with a full-service animation studio in South Africa. Apparently, it’s …
FlixChatter Review: The Mastermind (2025) – Josh O’Connor is perfectly cast in Kelly Reichardt’s slow, minimalist heist film
2025 is really Josh O’Connor’s year, and it’s all the better for it. This is the third film I saw where he has a leading or prominent role, and I might try to catch The History Of Sound, where he’s a co-lead with Paul Mescal. Those who are still unfamiliar with the English actor apart …
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2022) Review – Not exactly a fresh chapter for Pandora, the visuals are still glorious, but the narrative is stuck in a loop
James Cameron took more than a decade to dive back into the Avatar universe, spending that time fine-tuning the underwater filming tech for its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. The second and third sequels, Fire and Ash, were shot back-to-back, as part of a huge production effort to manage the actors' aging process throughout …
