Movies about dirty cops are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, and it's always been a popular genre. They bring exciting moral dilemmas and delve into the darker aspects of human nature and power. With the current situation in my city regarding ICE and their reckless and dehumanizing Operation Metro Surge, these narratives resonate personally …
FlixChatter Guest Review – 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE (2026) – Garland’s human story and Fiennes’ artistry make this horror sequel a must-watch
Directed by: Nia DaCosta Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Alfie Williams, Jack O’Connell, Erin Kellyman, Chi Lewis-Parry The Bone Temple is the sequel to last year’s very good 28 Years Later, which was a fairly low-key affair as zombie movies go and much different than its predecessor, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later.

FlixChatter Review: GREENLAND 2: MIGRATION (2025) – a drab and dull sequel desperately looking for vibrant new signs of life
Perhaps it's asking a bit much to hope for a good movie to drop on the second weekend of January. But since I really liked the first Greenland film, which turned out to be a surprisingly heartfelt disaster movie, I would’ve been satisfied if its sequel was at least decent. So, Gerard Butler is back …
