Every year Twin Cities Film Fest selects a social cause to bring to light and this year the subject of the Changemaker series is veteran support. Five powerful films paint a picture of what our vets face post-combat and foster important discussions around how to better serve those who've given us their all, which starts …
FlixChatter Review: The Accountant (2016)
It's kind of an interesting choice for Ben Affleck to do this movie in the same year as Batman V Superman. Some people call this one as an unconventional superhero movie about an autistic accountant, and it wouldn't be wrong as there's certainly traces of Bruce Wayne in the film protagonist, Christian Wolff.

FlixChatter Review: The Magnificent Seven (2016)
I gotta admit, I'm not much of a Western fan. Though interestingly enough, I've liked three western remakes in the past decade: 3:10 To Yuma, True Grit and then this one. Confession: I have NOT seen any of the original films. Now, people who have seen the original films would likely have a different opinion about the remake. …
