FlixChatter Review – Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016)

Absolutely Fabulous (AbFab for short) is one of the most popular British comedies in the early 90s. I've only watched it sporadically, but I love the wacky humor of the two champagne-loving, fashion-obsessed duo Edina/Eddie & Patsy. The comedic style is in the vein of Vicar of Dibley starring Dawn French, not surprisingly, the AbFab sitcom is based on the 1990 sketch comedy …

FlixChatter Double Reviews: Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Ted's Review I don’t consider myself a Trekkie, I’ve seen all of the Star Trek films but never got into any of the TV shows. I enjoyed the first two films by JJ Abrams, even the much-maligned Into Darkness. When Abrams decided to jump ship and take over the other space adventure franchise, Justin Lin …

FlixChatter Review: Ghostbusters (2016)

It's been ages since I saw the first Ghostbusters movie, which was released three decades ago in 1984. I decided to re-watch the original this weekend, but I barely remembered much of it by the time I saw this reboot. I pretty much chose to stay away from all the controversy over its all-female casting, chugging …

FlixChatter Review: The Secret Life of Pets (2016)

The moment I saw the trailer for this months ago I was immediately sold. Anyone who's ever owned a pet would likely be drawn to this as well, and given the popularity of cat (and dog) videos on social media, this is no doubt a winning concept for an animated movie. The movie started off …

FlixChatter Review: The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

Did you that if you type 'Tarzan' on IMDb, there'd be about 200 titles popped up since 1918 all the way to 2016. So yeah, you could say that Edgar Rice Burroughs' titular character has been adapted to death in various formats. But hey, Hollywood loves to recycle stuff over and over, and this one promises to …

FlixChatter Review: Casino Royale (2006)

This review was part of Mark & Tom's Decades Blogathon that was published back in mid May. But since July 6 is Eva Green's birthday, I decided to post it here this week. I can't believe it's been a decade since Casino Royale came out. I just re-watched it this weekend to refresh my memory for …

FlixChatter Review: The Purge: Election Year (2016)

The Purge franchise is becoming quite lucrative for Universal Studios. Produced on a relatively low budget ($10 mil for this third sequel), it tends to earn twice the amount the studio invested in. The franchise also has more room to expand its story than other franchises like Friday The 13th, Halloween or Nightmare on Elm …
