Nothing like a huge dose of pink and all kinds of bubble gum color palettes to brighten up a gray Tuesday. The second teaser trailer of the highly-anticipated BARBIE movie and it looks so much fun! https://youtu.be/GRyt3Ov4zz0 I've actually never been into Barbies or dolls in general, I was more into cars as a kid …
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 …

Trailer Spotlight – Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY – his first foray into sci-fi features an out-of-this-world cast
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 …
