FlixChatter Review: SPENCER (2021)

I’ve been curious about seeing this since Kristen Stewart became a critical favorite at the start of award season. So when she was nominated for Oscars and the film finally dropped in HULU, I just had to check it out. Going into the film I knew this wasn’t a standard biopic of the late Princess …

FlixChatter Review: UNCHARTED (2022)

This project has been in development hell for over a decade. I actually have blogged about it in 2010 when Mark Wahlberg was still attached to play Nathan Drake, though whenever I look at the video game rendering of the character, I always thought Nathan Fillion would’ve been perfect. I also listed Richard Armitage as …

FlixChatter Review: I WANT YOU BACK (2022)

So I watched not one but TWO new rom-coms last week, which is unusual as I haven’t been too impressed with most modern rom-coms which tend to be a bit too edgy or cynical about love and romance for my taste. Well, if you read my review of Marry Me, that movie is definitely a …

FlixChatter Review: MARRY ME (2022)

FlixChatter Review: Death on the Nile (2022)

Kenneth Branagh's first Agatha Christie adaptation, Murder in the Orient Express, was a modest success (worldwide gross total of over $350mil million against a production budget of $55mil), so it's no surprise that the sequel got green-lit soon after. Well, this movie was supposed to come out in 2019, but then filming issues, then Covid …
