10 Favorite TV Series Created, Directed or Written by Women

Happy International Women's Day to all women and female-empowerment allies in the world today! I don't really need an excuse to blog about #womeninfilm which I do frequently here at FlixChatter. One thing I haven't blogged about is highlighting female-fronted TV series that's created, written or directed women. I'm focusing mostly on shows that are …

Spring is in the air!! As I'm writing this, it's about 40F degrees, which is quite balmy for Minnesota! I know March is supposed to be the snowiest month but I'm looking forward to more warming temps (yes I'll take highs in the 30s, ahah!).  Well, like many people in the world this week, I've …

FlixChatter Review: The French Dispatch (2021)

For some reason I had missed this film when it was released last Fall, and I kind of forgotten about it until it arrived on HBO Max this weekend. I’m not a die-hard Wes Anderson fan, after all I haven’t seen Isle of Dogs yet, but I enjoyed Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, and The …

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 …
