I first heard of The Father (Le Père) when I saw the stage play a few years ago. The play was written by French playwright Florian Zeller and adapted by Christopher Hampton. Zeller teamed up with Hampton once again who wrote the screenplay for the film, and this film became his feature directorial debut. In …

FlixChatter Review – Judas and The Black Messiah (2021)
The script of the life of Fred Hampton has been floating around Hollywood for many years but it never got made into a film until now. Hampton was one of the leaders of the Black Panthers movement and the youngest of the group back in the 60s and his assassination by the FBI is well …

FlixChatter Review: Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Ok so even though I grew up watching a ton of Disney animated movies (especially the ones w/ princesses because that’s what many little girls do), I don’t immediately get excited for every new Disney animated movies that come along.

FlixChatter Review: I CARE A LOT (2021)
When I first heard of this dark comedy, I was immediately intrigued by its casting of Rosamund Pike. I've seen her playing real-life heroines in her last two films, A Private War and Radioactive, that it's actually quite a treat to see her playing a shamelessly devious character. Marla Grayson is a piece of work …
FlixChatter Review: Sylvie’s Love (2020)
I saw this movie at Twin Cities Film Fest back in October and it's one of the few films I had the privilege of seeing on the big screen. It's also one of the rare romantic dramas I get to see this year. I'd say the world could use more love stories, and this one …
