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 …

FlixChatter Review: Midnight Special (2016)
I'm a big fan of science fiction films, and the ones that are more *grounded* in our reality, meaning it's not all sleek and drowned in special effects are usually the most compelling.

FlixChatter Review: Zootopia (2016)

FlixChatter Review: Neil Jordan’s vampire drama Byzantium (2012)
Before the vampire craze began started by a certain YA novel, Neil Jordan made an epic vampire drama, Interview With The Vampire, in 1994. Nearly two decades later, the Irish filmmaker returned to the popular genre with another unconventional tale of the fanged one. Except that the vampires in this story don't have fangs, instead they have sharp thumbnail …

FlixChatter Review: A Bigger Splash (2016)
When I first heard of this film, I was immediately intrigued by the premise of an idyllic sun-drenched holiday that's being disrupted by an unexpected visit. The people on holiday are famous rock star Marianne Lane (Tilda Swinton) and her lover, Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts). When we're introduced to the couple, they're stark naked by the pool at …
