As someone who often has strange, even unsettling dreams every night, I was really curious to see a movie about dreams, with the incomparable Nicolas Cage, no less. Cage isn’t a chameleon in the sense that he can disappear into any role, on the contrary, we go see his movies to see the Cage being …
FlixChatter Review: WISH (2023) – no amount of fairy dust on the screen could magically turn this mediocre Disney movie into a magnificent one
I grew up watching Disney animated movies so I have a special fondness for them which have mostly been turned into live-action versions with varying degrees of success. My faves are still the classics I saw as a kid, i.e. Bambi, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc. Wish is the 62nd Disney animated feature and was created …

Happy Thanksgiving 2023, to all those in the USA. Some of you might be traveling or already making preparations for get-together gatherings with family and/or friends.

It has been almost a decade since I saw a film by David Fincher. His last film, Gone Girl, hit theaters back in the fall of 2014 and he hasn’t released a film until 2020’s Mank, a film that I have yet to see and I’m just not that interested in seeing it. Just like …
FlixChatter Review: Taika Waititi’s Next Goal Wins (2023) starring Michael Fassbender
When I think of soccer (well, football for those of you across the pond), I often think of it as a low-scoring game. That makes the world record score of 31-0 between Australia and American Samoa even more shocking… and humiliating for the people on the tiny South Pacific island. The American Samoa national football …
Streaming Pick: QUIZ LADY (2023) – Awkwafina + Sandra Oh are such a dynamic duo in this kooky comedy
The main appeal for me to see Quiz Lady is the dynamic duo of Sandra Oh and Awkwafina, and these two talented comediennes are indeed so fun to watch as estranged sisters. Awkwafina plays against type (well sort of) as an uptight introvert Anne Yum who’s obsessed with a game show a la Jeopardy called …
