Netflix’s Murder Mystery 2 review – a silly & formulaic low-stakes whodunnit that wastes its talented cast

With a title as generic as Murder Mystery, the sequel to Netflix's 2019 action comedy doesn't exactly aim for greatness. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are back reprising their roles as bickering couple Nick and Audrey Spitz (which of course rhymes with sh*t just so they can make some silly joke out of it). We …

What I Watched in March 2023 + Mini Reviews + Movie Of the Month

Happy April Fools Day! I guess the joke's on us Minnesotans. Spring? Yeah right. As I'm writing this, our driveway is covered in white stuff again :\ I didn't expect to have to plow/shovel 6-8 inches of thick, wet, and heavy new snow! So much for rejoicing about not having to shovel again this year …

FlixChatter Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) – a hilarious heist fantasy adventure worth tagging along for!

Video game adaptation is having a moment. Just this Spring alone, we’ve got no less than three movies based on or about video games, TETRIS, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and this one. Now, I’ve never played Dungeons & Dragons even for a second and generally don’t go out of my way to seek out video …

I know we've barely escaped Winter yet – there's actually an upcoming Winter storm coming tomorrow until Saturday morning [SIGH], but I'm already anticipating Spring and Summer movies! Wes Anderson's movies don't always get released in the Summer months, in fact, the last one, The French Dispatch, was released in the Fall. I suppose it's …

FlixChatter Review: TETRIS (2023) – a rousing cat-and-mouse ride packed with 80s nostalgia

What a blast from the past! Though I’m not much of a gamer even in my youth, I certainly remember the popularity of TETRIS. My hubby is an avid fan of the game, even his mom was obsessed with it for a time and would spend hours laying on her back playing it on Gameboy. …

FlixChatter Review: The Lost King (2023) – Sally Hawkins charms as a tenacious Richard III superfan in a moving feel-good story

I have been waiting for this movie for quite some time, as a few years ago I became obsessed with Richard III after watching The White Queen. The Starz series presented a more sympathetic portrayal of the last Plantagenet king, who was also the last English king to die in battle in 1485 which ended …
