Michael Winterbottom is a prolific filmmaker whose work covers a wide range of genres, including action thrillers, political dramas, period pieces, and even broad comedies. The last movie of his I saw was The Trip to Greece, a droll, improvised travel documentary featuring Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan. It couldn’t be more different from Shoshana, …

FlixChatter Review: SORRY, BABY (2024) – Eva Victor’s unapologetically wry, quirky yet tender tragicomedy
Something unfortunate occurred with Agnes. But life continues on - at least for everyone else around her. The logline doesn’t reveal exactly what that unfortunate event is, and neither does the movie itself. Presented in a non-linear way, the movie is broken up into chapters with titles that begin with ‘The year where [something happened]’, …
TV Reviews: The Day of the Jackal (Peacock) + MURDERBOT (AppleTV) – binge-worthy series to add to your watch list
This Summer, I've been watching a lot more TV series than movies. Not sure why, but there is just a ton of good content on streaming. Plus, once you discover a great series, it makes it easier to decide what to watch when I turn on my TV in our home theater. My hubby and …

Netflix's A Man On The Inside (Season 1) Charles, a widowed retired professor, finds a fresh purpose when …
Documentary Review: MY MOM JAYNE (2025) – Mariska Hargitay’s cathartic deep dive into her mother’s legacy and letting go of a long-kept secret
I have to admit that I’ve never actually seen a Jayne Mansfield film, so I’m not at all familiar with her work. When I think of Mansfield, I always think of her iconic photo with Sophia Loren at a Beverly Hills dinner that even got its own Wikipedia page! I went into this documentary with …
Ranking all 8 SUPERMAN live-action movies from Best to Worst
Happy weekend, everyone! With James Gunn's Superman opening wide in theaters this weekend, I thought I'd rank all of the live-action SUPERMAN movies that I've seen since the 1978 Richard Donner movie. I'm excluding animated movies and Justice League, which is more of an ensemble cast, and Supes barely even appear in the movie. My …

Streaming Movies Double Reviews: HEADS OF STATE (Amazon Prime) + THE OLD GUARD 2 (Netflix)
Welcome to another edition of FlixChatter Double Reviews. I thought I’d review these two action movies that dropped on the same day, July 2nd, on Amazon Prime and Netflix, respectively. HEADS OF STATE I have a penchant for buddy comedies, especially when they cast the right actors for the roles. Well, anything with Idris Elba …
