Guest Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (2016)

It’s going to be hard for me not to turn this into a fifty-page essay, because I am an enormous Harry Potter fan. I have been since I was ten years old. I’ve re-read all the books more times than I can remember, I wrote so much embarrassingly bad fan-fiction as a preteen, and I’ve …

FlixChatter Review: Doctor Strange (2016)

I have to admit I wasn't really anticipating this movie at all. I wasn't familiar with this character at all and honestly, I have grown a bit tired of seeing Benedict Cumberbatch, though I did like him before he was super famous from playing Sherlock. Now it's no fault of his but I tend to …

Guest Review: Bleed For This (2016)

I was a little nervous to write this review. My first two posts for FlixChatter (Ouija and The Eyes Of My Mother) were for horror movies-a genre I enjoy and feel comfortable writing about- so being assigned a movie outside of my wheelhouse was a little daunting, especially considering this one is a boxing movie. …

FlixChatter Review: Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

It’s been ten years since Mel Gibson's last directed a film; the violent adventure Apocalypto was a mild success for the controversial actor and director. Many thought that film would be a comeback for Gibson, but then his personal life took another controversial hit and he’s been out of the limelight for a few years. …

TCFF 2016 Reviews: ‘Oxenfree’ + ‘The Eyes Of My Mother’

'Oxenfree' Review Many of us may remember that expression we used at the end of our games of Hide and Seek – “Olly, Olly, Oxenfree!” The longing to return to juvenile games and stories is a theme in “Oxenfree,” the feature film that had its world premiere at the Twin Cities Film Fest last night. I …
