I’m particularly intrigued by the premise of EZRA as my 3-year-old nephew has been diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder). Per the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), 1 in 36 children have autism, with boys being 4 times more likely to be diagnosed than girls. Directed by the multi-talented Tony Goldwyn, the story …
What I watched in MAY + Mini Reviews + Movie(s) Of the Month
Happy June, everyone! May has been a bit of an odd duck weather-wise. An MPR host said the other day that if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes, ha! Sure enough, it's been alternating between windy, sunny, and rainy in just a matter of minutes in a single day! 😆 Well, …

FlixChatter Review: The Dead Don’t Hurt (2024) – Vicky Krieps is riveting in Viggo Mortensen’s lyrical, slow-burn Western drama
Western isn’t my go-to genre, though there are some terrific Westerns that I’ve come to love: Big Country, 3:10 To Yuma (2007 version), Hell or High Water, True Grit, and The Rider, to name a few. This one intrigued me right away because it’s written and directed by the multi-talented Viggo Mortensen who also stars in …

FlixChatter Review – Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) – Miller delivers another thrill ride with jaw-dropping action centered on a brilliantly fiery heroine
Hollywood loves origin stories but not every character deserves to have their backstories told as a standalone feature. Furiosa however, is one character that not only deserves but demands to have her story told. I’m a huge fan of Mad Max: Fury Road, I was transfixed by Charlize Theron’s performance who brought her badass character …
MSPIFF 2024 Documentary Review: THE LAST DAUGHTER – A Wiradjuri woman’s inspiring quest for truth, healing and reconciliation
I missed seeing The Last Daughter at MSPIFF even though it’s one of the 15 documentaries I featured in this post. But thanks to a chance meeting with the co-director of the film, Nathaniel Schmidt during the festival, I was able to watch the documentary via an online screener. This is quite a unique film in …
FlixChatter Review: THE BEEKEEPER (2024) – Not the most buzz-worthy action flick but Statham is still the bees’ knees in the action genre
May 20th is World Bee Day so I thought I'd post a review of a movie called The Beekeeper 🐝 This was one of the movies I watched on a recent long flight to Croatia. I wasn’t initially enthused about this, as Jason Statham’s last two movies I saw (Wrath of Man and MEG 2) …
