Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 Just in time for Memorial Weekend, The Blue Angels documentary dropped on Prime Video. My hubby and I had hoped to see this on IMAX, alas it wasn’t playing on any IMAX or Dolby theater near us, so we decided to stream it instead. Interestingly, one of the film’s producers is …

FlixChatter Review – Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) – Miller delivers another thrill ride with jaw-dropping action centered on a brilliantly fiery heroine
Hollywood loves origin stories but not every character deserves to have their backstories told as a standalone feature. Furiosa however, is one character that not only deserves but demands to have her story told. I’m a huge fan of Mad Max: Fury Road, I was transfixed by Charlize Theron’s performance who brought her badass character …
MSPIFF 2024 Documentary Review: THE LAST DAUGHTER – A Wiradjuri woman’s inspiring quest for truth, healing and reconciliation
I missed seeing The Last Daughter at MSPIFF even though it’s one of the 15 documentaries I featured in this post. But thanks to a chance meeting with the co-director of the film, Nathaniel Schmidt during the festival, I was able to watch the documentary via an online screener. This is quite a unique film in …
FlixChatter Review: THE BEEKEEPER (2024) – Not the most buzz-worthy action flick but Statham is still the bees’ knees in the action genre
May 20th is World Bee Day so I thought I'd post a review of a movie called The Beekeeper 🐝 This was one of the movies I watched on a recent long flight to Croatia. I wasn’t initially enthused about this, as Jason Statham’s last two movies I saw (Wrath of Man and MEG 2) …

As Hollywood and international film luminaries descend on Promenade de la Croisette, it makes me dream of being at Cannes. The last time I blogged about the Cannes Film Festival was back in 2021, but reading a few articles from Variety, Deadline, etc. makes me anticipate some of the movies screening there that I can't …
FlixChatter Review: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) – thrillingly lays the groundwork for an exciting new ‘apes’ trilogy
I rolled my eyes when I first learned that Hollywood was making another Planet of the Apes movie. Why can’t they just let a perfectly good trilogy be as they are? Apparently, director Wes Ball felt the same way, that is until he thought about jumping ahead in the timeline. Kingdom of the Planet of …
FlixChatter Review: The Fall Guy (2024) – a fun albeit predictable ode to the unsung heroes of action cinema
Ryan Gosling is still riding high from the Barbie movie zeitgeist and his Oscar-nominated performance as Ken. Not to mention the Beavis and Butt-Head SNL sketch that’s becoming another cultural phenomenon. He’s bringing his Ken-ergy to his role as Colt Seavers, a down-and-out stuntman who suffers a career-ending injury we see early in the movie. …
