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 …

Happy Hump Day! I'm feeling a bit off today and struggling to get my reviews done. I'm about halfway done with my review of John Wick Chapter 4 and stay tuned for my upcoming reviews of The Lost King and Tetris movie. In any case, I've been meaning to do a trailer post of some …
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) Review – not as satisfying a crowd-pleaser as the first movie, but still delivers some laughs
It's a rather slow weekend and a particularly cold one here in the Twin Cities, but for some reason, my hubby and I were in the mood to go to the movies. We loved the first Shazam! movie as it was zany, goofy, and silly but with a huge heart as Billy Batson (Asher Angel) …
LIAISON (2023) review: AppleTV+’s first Anglo-French spy series is more tedious than thrilling despite its stellar cast
Romantic thriller is my jam and Liaison already had me from a brief scene in the trailer when two estranged lovers cross paths again after 20 years. Vincent Cassel and Eva Green have such explosive chemistry even when they silently stare at each other through a rain-splattered window. It's a dramatic scene full of romantic …
