Happy Monday everyone! Well, in case you noticed, I haven't been blogging much lately as I've been sick with a stubborn cold for over a week now. One of my coworkers apparently got pneumonia and he has to be off work for a whole week. So just for precaution, I was at urgent care Thursday night …

FlixChatter Review: Run All Night (2015)
Liam Neeson has struck gold with TAKEN and he’s been doing the same kind of movie since. It could be that he’s now being typecast or that he prefers the big paychecks; I’m thinking it’s a little bit of both. Whatever the case, he’s great as the action hero who can take down countless baddies …
FlixChatter Review: LUCY (2014)

Set in the nocturnal underbelly of …

February 2015 Blind Spot: Sunset Blvd. (1950)
As the Oscar ceremony is still fresh in my head, I thought it'd be interesting to see this iconic film for this month's Blindspot. It's always fascinating to see a film about Hollywood and the narcissistic nature of that industry, and there's not a better commentary of that than this timeless classic. The story is told …
