Not every year we get not one but two highly-anticipated DC superhero films where the hype is simply overwhelming. I personally have not been anticipating either movies, and I tried with all my might to avoid watching every damn clip/trailer/featurette, etc the studio releases practically every single week. Well, you already know how I feel …

FlixChatter Review: Jason Bourne (2016)
As a fan of the Bourne trilogy, I was dismayed when in 2012, Universal went ahead with the sequel (Bourne Legacy) without Matt Damon. That fact perhaps made me more excited to see Damon teamed up again with director Paul Greengrass for a fifth (well, technically fourth) entry. I guess it's inevitable that a franchise as lucrative …
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 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 …
