FlixChatter Review: IN THE HEIGHTS (2021)

I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie musical on the big screen, as somehow I missed the two recent musicals that I thoroughly enjoyed when they hit cinemas – The Greatest Showman and Mamma Mia 2. In the Heights was supposed to come out exactly a year ago, June 2020, but like …

FlixChatter Review: DREAM HORSE (2021)

There are no shortage of based-on-true-story movies out there, but I’m always up for uplifting stories, especially those that also offer escapism to a distant land on my bucket list! Dream Horse offers just the thing… starring the always reliable Toni Collette as Jan Vokes, a small-town supermarket cashier by day and bartender by night …

Musings on the first 2 eps of LOKI series

When the first THOR movie came out in 2011, I instantly fell for Tom Hiddleston's LOKI and like many Hiddlestoners out there, I kept wishing there'll be a spin-off movie.

MSPIFF40 Review: Undine (2021)

I was really drawn to see this because I've enjoyed two of Christian Petzold's previous work, Phoenix and Transit. The latter actually stars the same German actors: Paula Beer and Franz Rogowski. The underwater fantasy theme reminds me a bit of The Shape of Water, though this one doesn't exactly involve a literal underwater creature. …

This Just In! REMINISCENCE poster + trailer starring Hugh Jackman

Woo wee!! I hadn't even heard of this project before but that poster came across my email from WB and I just had to post about this. I'm a big fan of pretty much everyone involved, and thrilled to see writer/director/producer Lisa Joy, one of the co-creators of WESTWORLD as the writer/director of this film. …

10 Memorable Scenes to celebrate Morgan Freeman’s 84th Birthday

Happy Belated Birthday, Morgan Freeman! The Memphis-born, Oscar- winning thespian just turned 84 years old yesterday, as he was born on June 1st, 1937. IMDb somehow did NOT include him in the list of birthdays on its homepage yesterday, so I thought I'd do a post to honor Mr. Freeman's towering cinematic achievements. I love …
