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 …

Music Break: 10 Favorite Movie Love Themes
Happy belated Valentine's Day, hope your V-day was a special one. I personally don't see why we can't celebrate love and romance any time of the year. Well, I was on my way home from the gym today and was listening to Classical MPR when host Lynne Warfel's Love at the Movies came on which …
FlixChatter Review: MARRY ME (2022)
There are a handful of what I’d consider ‘perfect’ movies that I think should not ever be remade. Out of the rom-com genre, that includes anything by Nora Ephron as well as Notting Hill by Roger Michell. Well, Marry Me isn’t a remake, but one could say it’s Notting Hill on steroids, though I was …

In the 2010s, he gifted us with Independence Day: Resurgence. Now that it’s a new decade, Emmerich officially stamps the 2020s with his latest disaster epic Moonfall, …
FlixChatter Review: Drive My Car (2021)
I know I’ve been lamenting about movies with long running time, even though some of my fave classic movies are 3 hours long or longer. Drive My Car has a 2hr 59 min running time but it’s actually based on a short story collection called Men Without Women. That title is kind of a giveaway …
