FlixChatter Review: HOTEL MUMBAI (2019)

When I first saw the trailer for HOTEL MUMBAI, I was definitely intrigued despite not remembering much of the actual events that happened in 2008. I don't usually go for dramatizations of true events, especially when it comes to disaster/calamity. Yet there's something about this one that appealed to me. It opens with the attackers …

There's such a huge anticipation over this movie, and the early reviews have been giddily-positive.

FlixChatter Review: CAPTAIN MARVEL (2019)

I think it goes without saying that Captain Marvel is an important milestone.
