Musings on 2020 Oscars – The Good, the bad + the WTF
Per tradition, I don't really watch red carpet show, I just sort of let it play on my iPad while I was making dinner. If I had to make one comment about fashion though, it'd have to be Natalie Portman's ... what a statement she made with her outfit she wore to the Oscars! Natalie …

FlixChatter Review – BIRDS OF PREY (2020)

FlixChatter Review: Knives Out (2019)
With a provocative title like Knives Out, the film had better be a sharp murder mystery. Fortunately, writer/director Rian Johnson and his stellar ensemble cast delivered! The film embraces the tropes of the whodunnit genre – the wealthy dysfunctional family, the historic mansion, and an eccentric detective investigating the case... but it cleverly turned it …
