What I Watched in JUNE 2023 + Mini Reviews + My Pick of Movie Of the Month
Happy Fourth of July weekend!! Wow, can't believe we're done with the first half of the year! Honestly, June was such a blur, and this recap is late as I went on a weekend getaway to my neighboring state. I've lived in MN for 3 decades and for some reason never visited Door County, Wisconsin. …

FlixChatter Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – despite some eye-rolling moments, Ford’s timeless charisma makes even the most absurd scenes worth watching
It’s been 15 years since the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released, which doesn't exactly make me want to see another Indy movie. Still, despite the not-so-stellar early reviews, I was determined to stay neutral and judge Dial of Destiny for myself. It starts out with a familiar sequence in 1944 where Indy is …
FlixChatter Review: Love Gets A Room (2023) – an affecting WWII musical drama set in Warsaw ghetto filmed in real-time
There’s no shortage of holocaust movies out there, but I have to say I have not seen one set primarily as a stage musical set in real-time.

FlixChatter Review: PAST LIVES (2023) is beautifully spellbinding, never has something so low-key hit me like a ton of bricks.
I often say 'There is no such thing as a perfect movie'… but once in a blue moon, a rare gem comes along and proves me wrong. It doesn’t happen every year that a movie completely swept me off my feet, but in 2023, that movie is Past Lives. I first caught the first buzz …
FlixChatter Review: RYE LANE (2023) – the perfect junction where comedy, heartbreak, and romance intersect beautifully
Rom-coms get a bad rap as a genre that’s plagued by unrealistic situations, unrelatable characters, and a fanciful narrative of love and romance. Well, a bunch of them do fit that category, but once in a great while, a delightful movie emerges that break through the mold. Rye Lane, directed by Raine Allen-Miller and based …
FlixChatter Review: ELEMENTAL (2023) – Pixar’s first rom-com proves that a tale as old as time can still spark when told in a refreshingly creative way
After its debut with Toy Story in 1995, Pixar released its 27th feature with another original story. I have to admit that though I’ve been a longtime Pixar fan, I wasn’t all that enthused about this one after the disappointing Lightyear. But I’m glad that Elemental turns out to be a return to form for …
