FlixChatter Review: ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD (2019)

Quentin Tarantino’s last two films were westerns, both were a tribute to his favorite genre, the spaghetti western. He’s now back with another tribute, this time to his favorite film decade and town, the 60s in Hollywood. Specifically 1969, the year that many people have said changed the Hollywood movie industry. Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) …

FlixChatter Review: THE FAREWELL (2019)

I knew about this film when it won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance earlier this year. Yet for whatever reason, it sort of fell off my radar until A24 started promoting it vehemently for its theatrical release. I'm so glad they did and this film deserved ALL their backing. It simply deserves to be …

FlixChatter Review: YESTERDAY (2019)

During a company outing I struck up the subject by asking my coworkers: “You guys like The Beatles?” Their answer: “Who doesn’t like The Beatles?” And indeed, with Danny …

FlixChatter Review – MIDSOMMAR (2019)

Written & Directed by: Ari Aster When I heard Ari Aster had a new horror movie coming out, I was excited, especially since he described it as a companion piece to last year's Hereditary. While I didn't want to go in comparing it too much to last year's hit, I still had high expectations. Following …

FlixChatter Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Can't believe it's been seven years ago that I reviewed the Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-man, which I barely even remember now so clearly it wasn't all that amazing. I think I was mostly sentimental as I was at Comic-Con Hall H when Garfield first revealed that he was playing the role (those with eagle …
