Directed By: David Frankel Written By: Allan Loeb Runtime: 94 minutes After reviewing a couple unimpressive comedies last week (Office Christmas Party and Why Him?), I was ready for seeing something a little weightier, so I was excited to get the opportunity to see Collateral Beauty. I was a little nervous it would be overly-sentimental, …

FlixChatter Review – ROGUE ONE: A Star Wars Story (2016)
I don't call myself a Star Wars groupie and honestly I was rather lukewarm about The Force Awakens. At the same time I didn't hate the prequels trilogy (episode 1-3) though I have to admit there were tons of problems. But the more I hear about Rogue One and that amazing international cast, the more I look …

Guest Review: Why Him? (2016)
After being underwhelmed by the last holiday comedy I reviewed (Office Christmas Party), I was not particularly enthusiastic about seeing another one- especially one written by Jonah Hill and starring James Franco. Not that they aren’t both talented, but the majority of their collaborations have been stoner comedies, which have never really been my thing. …
Rental Pick: Hunt For The Wilderpeople (2016)
As I've mentioned in this post, I absolutely LOVE the vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows. It's also written and directed by Taika Waititi, who's been quite a force to be reckoned with as a filmmaker, so I'm glad he's getting noticed by Hollywood! Right from the opening scene when the 13-year-old Ricky is dropped off by …

Guest Review: Office Christmas Party (2016)
I haven’t been a huge fan of recent comedy films. There are a few I’ve enjoyed, but mostly they blur together in a mess of pop culture references, gross-out humor, and lazy sexual innuendo. This is exactly what I expected of Office Christmas Party, and that’s exactly what the movie delivered. However, there were a …

FlixChatter Review: ALLIED (2016)
So this is a film that has quite a pedigree. Starting w/ the director Robert Zemeckis, who have made some of the best films like Back To The Future, Romancing The Stone, Forrest Gump, Contact, etc. plus the two A-listers, Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard. I have to admit my main draw was Zemeckis and Cotillard, as …
FlixChatter Review: ARRIVAL (2016)
Sci-fi films involving aliens coming to Earth are a dime a dozen. So it's so refreshing to see a film that treads familiar ground, yet still manages to be original and truly thought-provoking. Based on the short story Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang, the premise of ARRIVAL is deceptively simple. One day, twelve …
