FlixChatter’s AVATAR review

To say Avatar is like nothing you've seen before is a quite an understatement. Back in June, I list Avatar as one of five must-see flix of the rest of 2009 and ever since then, the hype promised it to be something of an epic thrill ride. Well, I can confidently say that fifteen years …

Weekend Roundup: It’s a Wonderful Life and The Blind Side

You can say I had a 'Capra'-laden weekend. On Friday night, I finally get to see the all-time Christmas classic It's A Wonderful Life for the first time with my movie-nite gals. The next day, my hubby & I caught The Blind Side at a local theater, and even in its fourth week of release, …

Everyone’s a Critic: Reviews from FlixChatter Readers

I sheepishly admit that I didn't see ANY flick this long weekend. It's been a hectic weekend of getting-together with friends, as well as bidding farewell to a dear, dear friend who's moving to a different state. Needless to say, I had zero time to dash off to a theater or even to watch a …

If you read my blog regularly, you know I've been pumpin' this flick for quite a while. Yet, come Friday afternoon, after reading all the dismal reviews by top critics, I sort of had second thoughts about it. Now, it's not because I give that much faith in what the critics say, but I was …

FlixChatter Review: Julie & Julia

Instead of staying in for our monthly girls' movie nite, we opted to see this movie at the theater. Truthfully, I don't know what to expect as this isn't usually the type of flick I get excited about, but it was actually pretty good. I knew nothing about who Julia Child is, other than she …

DVD Pick: State of Play

Everything about this movie, from the premise, cast and even the poster screamed 'smart, riveting thriller.' The nice thing is, it lives up to my expectation, and then some. This is Russell Crowe's strongest performance since The Insider 10 years ago. Of course I loved him in Gladiator, but it's his amazingly credible role as …
