FlixChatter Review – AVENGERS: ENDGAME (2019)

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the release of AVENGERS: ENDGAME as an event, at least to fans of the MCU. If you don't know what that acronym stands for, but yet you're curious enough to finally check out just what the fuss is about, I suggest watching a few Marvel movies first in …

MSPIFF 2019 Review: RED JOAN

Given that I have a thing for spy films AND I adore Dame Judi Dench, I knew I had to see Red Joan the second I saw the trailer. Dame Judi is best known to most moviegoers as James Bond's tough-as-nails boss M, so the idea of her playing a British-born former spy who transfers …

There's such a huge anticipation over this movie, and the early reviews have been giddily-positive. I have to say I was caught in a bit of Shazam! fever as well after seeing the second trailer, which promises a boisterous good time. This movie is an origin story of the DC superhero that's originally named Captain …
