Celine Dion is a worldwide cultural phenomenon, who's been dubbed the Queen of Power Ballads, Priestess of Pop, among others. Even if you’re not a fan of her music, you must’ve lived under a rock if you haven’t heard at least one of her songs, especially the chart-topping My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. …

FlixChatter Review: Widow Clicquot (2024)–Raise a glass to the luminous Haley Bennett as the Grande Dame of Champagne
As someone who’s not much of a drinker, I’m not that familiar with the luxury champagne brand Veuve Clicquot, which literally means the movie's title, Widow Clicquot. The film opens with a somber funeral of a young man who turns out to be François Clicquot (Tom Sturridge), making Barbe-Nicole (Haley Bennett) a widow at 26. …
FlixChatter Review: TWISTERS (2024)–It doesn’t take my breath away but it’s still worth the chase for fans of action-packed disaster movies
It’s been ages since I saw the 1996 movie, but I still remember the visceral thrill boosted by the great performances of its leads Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, plus a memorable supporting role by the great Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It’s not a stellar movie by any stretch of the imagination, but Jan de Bont’s …
FlixChatter Review: Young Woman and The Sea (2024)–Daisy Ridley makes a splash as Trudy Ederle in this triumphant sports biopic
At first glance, the plot seems similar to last year’s NYAD centered on Diana Nyad, a female marathon swimmer who at the age of 64 finally realized her dream to swim from Cuba to Florida in 2013. Well, 87 before Nyad made history, Gertrude ‘Trudy’ Ederle paved the way for all female athletes when she …
FlixChatter Review: A Family Affair (2024)–this Netflix age-gap rom-com is in dire need of a facelift
I have a love-hate relationship with rom-coms. It’s not my go-to genre (unless it’s written/directed by Nora Ephron or Richard Curtis) because I think it’s really tough to write for this genre without succumbing to clichés. The pairing of Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron piqued my curiosity, though they apparently had played lovers on screen before …
FlixChatter Review: Fly Me To The Moon–Despite the odd tonal shifts, Johansson & Tatum manage to get this droll NASA rom-com dramedy to lift off
There are several movies made already about the 1960s space race, but anything ‘old’ can feel new again if it’s presented from a different angle. Fly Me to the Moon might not be your thing if you're searching for an in-depth look at moon landing conspiracy theories. It certainly makes for an interesting backdrop for …
FlixChatter Review: Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F – Eddie Murphy still brings the heat in this light & fun action flick with an undemanding plot
People love nostalgia in movies, and that’s why plenty of legacy characters get a comeback decades later. The first Beverly Hills Cop was released 40 years ago in 1984, Eddie Murphy was just a young'un 23-year-old at the time. Dayum, the comedian still looks pretty darn good for being 63! I had only seen the …
