FlixChatter Review: MADE IN ITALY (2020)

I've been in the mood for films that transport me... given the nature of the pandemic that grounds most of us. So when there's a screener for Made In Italy available, I jumped at the chance to see it. It's also a unique film where Liam Neeson plays a father who isn't rescuing his child …

Encore Review: The Lost City of Z (2016)

I had blogged about this three years ago, but upon seeing some new stills from Netflix's upcoming horror film The Devil All The Time, which stars Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland in supporting roles, it made me think of this underrated biographical adventure drama. Based on author David Grann's nonfiction bestseller, "The Lost City of …

FlixChatter Review – The Secret: Dare to Dream (2020)

I have to admit that prior to seeing this film, I had never heard of the self-help book series called The Secret, which apparently was born out of a 2006 documentary film about the great mystery of the universe by Rhonda Byrne. The books, also written by Byrne, have become such huge best-sellers, endorsed by …

FlixChatter: THE RENTAL (2020)

When Ruth asked me if I wanted to cover The Rental, I said yes as soon as I saw that Dan Stevens was in it; I enjoyed him in 2017's Beauty and the Beast, and my boyfriend and I have been on a Downton Abbey kick (we just finished season three and I am HEARTBROKEN), …

FlixChatter Review – Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

I heard about the new Netflix movie Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga much sooner than most casual Netflix streamers and American audiences. The reason for this was my loyal following of the Eurovision Song Contest, or just “Eurovision” – a contest that started in Europe in the mid 1950’s, around the time …

Netflix’s The Old Guard (2020)

I've been excited for this film since its trailer dropped last May… luckily, unlike theatrical releases that's getting delayed indefinitely [even those as huge as Chris Nolan's TENET], a Netflix release is a guarantee. The Old Guard centers on a covert team of immortal mercenaries who've been living for centuries. First, we meet the group's …

FlixChatter Review – Netflix’s EXTRACTION (2020)

Netflix is trying to take on the big Hollywood studios by producing quite a bit of pricey original films within the last couple of years. While their more prestigious films such ROMA and THE IRISHMAN received rave reviews and decent amount of views. Most of their original action/adventure films didn’t do quite well, for example …
