Hello everyone!! We’re in the midst of a hectic award season, and I’m continually playing catch-up to reviews. Well, in order to save time, I’m going to be posting more combined shorter reviews through the end of January.

FlixChatter Review: Train Dreams (2025) – A stunning, pensive historical drama anchored in Joel Edgerton’s quiet, soulful performance
The award-nominated duo behind SING SING, Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley, crafts another phenomenal cinematic project, Train Dreams. They both love crafting narratives that draw from real-life elements and settings. Instead of confining the story indoors in an active prison, they set this film mainly in the great outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in …
FlixChatter Review: Zootopia 2 (2025) – This animated sequel is just as awesome as the first, thanks to a clever script + a fun voice cast.
It’s been nearly a decade since the original Zootopia was released in 2016. I’m surprised that it took this long for the sequel to come out, given that the original was a critical and commercial success. It earned over $1 billion internationally (with a budget of $150 million) and won an Oscar for Best Animated …

Happy December, everyone! We're down to the last month of 2025, can you believe it?? To my American friends, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. It was nice to get four days off, though they went by too fast 😆 We finally got snow ❄️ this past Saturday, enough to be plowable and …
FlixChatter Review: HAMNET (2025) – A heart-wrenching, indelible work of art by Chloe Zhao, featuring an Oscar-caliber turn by Jessie Buckley
Hamlet is considered the most famous play in the world due to its enduring influence and the vast number of performances it has inspired. I have seen at least two film adaptations of Hamlet and seen the stage version at the local Guthrie Theatre a few years ago. Therefore, when I discovered a film that …
FlixChatter Review: ETERNITY (2025) – This rom-com set in the afterlife focuses more on fun world-building than crafting a profound love story
What picture pops into your head when you think about eternity or eternal life? Regardless of your beliefs, it probably doesn’t look like what writer/director David Freyne imagines in this fantasy rom-com. It certainly does not align with my own views on the afterlife, and I find it funny that some folks think we mere …
FlixChatter Guest Review – SISU 2: Road to Revenge (2025) – Less complex than SISU 1 but doubles down on the choreographed violence and deadly action
Directed by Jalmari HelanderStarring: Jorma Tommila, Stephen Lang, Richard Brake Every film has its place. In the classic sense, movies were created to escape, entertain, and create a visceral reaction from their audience – whether that be laughter, shock, horror and hopefully a certain sense of satisfaction. The Sisu franchise follows this path. Straight from …
