Welcome to another Double Reviews edition. While I usually find a common thread when I combine reviews, this time I deliberately chose movies that are completely different from each other. Variety is the spice of life, after all. So here goes! Rebuilding Josh O’Connor has become one of my favorite actors since his breakout …

Double reviews of female-led dramas: Rosemead (Lucy Liu) & If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (Rose Byrne)
Hello everyone!! We’re in the midst of a hectic award season, and I’m continually playing catch-up to reviews. Well, in order to save time, I’m going to be posting more combined shorter reviews through the end of January. While I usually find a common thread when I combine reviews, this one shares a theme of …
FlixChatter Review: Train Dreams (2025) – A stunning, pensive historical drama anchored in Joel Edgerton’s quiet, soulful performance
The award-nominated duo behind SING SING, Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley, crafts another phenomenal cinematic project, Train Dreams. They both love crafting narratives that draw from real-life elements and settings. Instead of confining the story indoors in an active prison, they set this film mainly in the great outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in …
FlixChatter Review: Zootopia 2 (2025) – This animated sequel is just as awesome as the first, thanks to a clever script + a fun voice cast.
It’s been nearly a decade since the original Zootopia was released in 2016. I’m surprised that it took this long for the sequel to come out, given that the original was a critical and commercial success. It earned over $1 billion internationally (with a budget of $150 million) and won an Oscar for Best Animated …

Happy December, everyone! We're down to the last month of 2025, can you believe it?? To my American friends, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. It was nice to get four days off, though they went by too fast 😆 We finally got snow ❄️ this past Saturday, enough to be plowable and …
FlixChatter Review: HAMNET (2025) – A heart-wrenching, indelible work of art by Chloe Zhao, featuring an Oscar-caliber turn by Jessie Buckley
Hamlet is considered the most famous play in the world due to its enduring influence and the vast number of performances it has inspired. I have seen at least two film adaptations of Hamlet and seen the stage version at the local Guthrie Theatre a few years ago. Therefore, when I discovered a film that …
FlixChatter Review: ETERNITY (2025) – This rom-com set in the afterlife focuses more on fun world-building than crafting a profound love story
What picture pops into your head when you think about eternity or eternal life? Regardless of your beliefs, it probably doesn’t look like what writer/director David Freyne imagines in this fantasy rom-com. It certainly does not align with my own views on the afterlife, and I find it funny that some folks think we mere …
