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 …

What I Watched in March 2023 + Mini Reviews + Movie Of the Month
Happy April Fools Day! I guess the joke's on us Minnesotans. Spring? Yeah right. As I'm writing this, our driveway is covered in white stuff again I didn't expect to have to plow/shovel 6-8 inches of thick, wet, and heavy new snow! So much for rejoicing about not having to shovel again this year …

FlixChatter Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) – a hilarious heist fantasy adventure worth tagging along for!
Video game adaptation is having a moment. Just this Spring alone, weβve got no less than three movies based on or about video games, TETRIS, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and this one. Now, Iβve never played Dungeons & DragonsΒ even for a second and generally donβt 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 Iβm 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 …
JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 Review – pure adrenaline actioner that’s wickedly Reeve-ting
It's been four years since Chapter 3, aka Parabellum so I had to brush up a bit on the JW 'mythology' as it were, which gets more complex with each movie. Apparently this franchise wasn't always this complicated. Per this Thrillist article, director Chad Stahelski, a veteran stuntman who used to double for Keanu Reeves, …

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) Review – not as satisfying a crowd-pleaser as the first movie, but still delivers some laughs
It's a rather slow weekend and a particularly cold one here in the Twin Cities, but for some reason, my hubby and I were in the mood to go to the movies. We loved the first Shazam! movie as it was zany, goofy, and silly but with a huge heart as Billy Batson (Asher Angel) …
