Cyrano de Bergerac is one of my favorite plays I saw at a local theatre, The Guthrie, a few years ago. Edmond Rostand’s classic romance has been adapted into various format, as well as been the inspiration for many modern rom-coms. But the right filmmaker can make an oft-told story feels fresh and new again, …
Twosday Special – 22 Favorite Cinematic Duos
Happy Twosday!! It's already Wednesday in some countries I know, but hey it's still late afternoon where I am now... so apparently today is quite an unusual day... 2/22/22, both a palindrome AND an ambigram… aaand it falls on Tuesday, uncanny!

FlixChatter Review: SPENCER (2021)

I also listed Richard Armitage as …

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 …
