FlixChatter Review: JUMANJI: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

Review by: Vitali Gueron When people utter the word Jumanji, they can’t help but think of the 1995 fantasy adventure movie Jumanji, starring the late Robin Williams, and adapted from the 1981 children’s book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. The film stars Williams as Alan Parrish, a man who is trapped in …

FlixChatter Review – Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

Directed By: Trish Sie Written By: Kay Cannon, Mike White based on the book by Mickey Rapkin Runtime: 1h 33min I've had mixed feelings on the Pitch Perfect movies.

FlixChatter Review: The Greatest Showman (2017)

Review by: Vitali Gueron The upcoming original musical The Greatest Showman is directed by Michael Gracey, and written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon. First time Australian director Gracey made a wonderful decision to turn The Greatest Showman into a modern-musical, opting for modern day pop style songs over 1800s tunes.

FlixChatter Review: Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

Review by: Vitali Gueron Denzel Washington is at the top of his game in the new movie Roman J. Israel, Esq. from writer/director Dan Gilroy.

Directed By: Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina Written By: Lee Unkrich, Jason Katz , Matthew Aldrich & Adrian Molina Runtime: 1h 49min Before I get into this review, I want to address one of the main arguments I’ve heard about it: that Coco is a rip-off of DreamWorks’s 2013 film The Book of Life.

FlixChatter Review: Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

There are films you'd readily see just for the cast and this is one such a film. I'm familiar with Agatha Christie's work though I can't claim I've actually finished even one of her books from start to finish. I did however, see the episode from British ITV production of the Agatha Christie series starring David …
