FlixChatter Review: CHEVALIER (2022) – Kelvin Harrison Jr. is exquisite as an 18th-century musical virtuoso criminally erased by history
In a year where a plethora of movies about a product/company origin story are released, it’s good that we finally get a cinematic treatment of one of the most acclaimed composers more people should know about. I first heard of Joseph Bologne aka Chevalier de Saint-Georges a few years ago when I saw his romantic …
FlixChatter Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) – James Gunn gets melancholic in his farewell to Marvel but hasn’t lost his sense of fun
Can’t believe it was a decade ago that this MCU’s lesser-known IP about a ragtag group of intergalactic misfits was released.

#MSPIFF42 Review: MY SAILOR, MY LOVE (2023) – a poignant and achingly moving tale of late love and loss
There are plenty of returning filmmakers at MSPIFF whose films have screened in previous years. One of them is Finnish filmmaker Klaus Härö whose Estonian/set drama The Fencer was one of my faves in 2016. I immediately got the ticket for this when I saw James Cosmo’s name as the lead and the fact that …
