It's Easter weekend and today I'm highlighting an independent film that speaks about hope and redemption. The Year of the Dog tells a story of two strays who somehow find their way to each other and transform both their lives. The opening scene shows Matt, a loner alcoholic who’s hit rock bottom. Flashbacks show Matt …

AIR (2023) review – Affleck + Damon hit the bullseye with a riveting Air Jordan origin story
I can't imagine a time when Nike wasn't such a sports brand juggernaut, but AIR's insightful exposition that double as an homage to the 80s reveals how Nike was an underdog shoe company back in 1984. Converse, which is now owned by Nike, had the largest market share, followed by Adidas with 29% and Nike …
Netflix’s Murder Mystery 2 review – a silly & formulaic low-stakes whodunnit that wastes its talented cast
With a title as generic as Murder Mystery, the sequel to Netflix's 2019 action comedy doesn't exactly aim for greatness. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are back reprising their roles as bickering couple Nick and Audrey Spitz (which of course rhymes with sh*t just so they can make some silly joke out of it). We …

Video game adaptation is having a moment. Just this Spring alone, we’ve got no less than three movies based on or about video games, TETRIS, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and this one. Now, I’ve never played Dungeons & Dragons even for a second and generally don’t go out of my way to seek out video …
FlixChatter Review: TETRIS (2023) – a rousing cat-and-mouse ride packed with 80s nostalgia
What a blast from the past! Though I’m not much of a gamer even in my youth, I certainly remember the popularity of TETRIS. My hubby is an avid fan of the game, even his mom was obsessed with it for a time and would spend hours laying on her back playing it on Gameboy. …
FlixChatter Review: The Lost King (2023) – Sally Hawkins charms as a tenacious Richard III superfan in a moving feel-good story
I have been waiting for this movie for quite some time, as a few years ago I became obsessed with Richard III after watching The White Queen. The Starz series presented a more sympathetic portrayal of the last Plantagenet king, who was also the last English king to die in battle in 1485 which ended …
