FlixChatter Review: Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)

Can’t believe it’s been seven years since George Miller directed one of my fave movies in the past decade, Mad Max: Fury Road. I love the visual style of Fury Road and Three Thousand Years of Longing is yet another visual feast from the Australian filmmaker. Miller and his own daughter Augusta Gore co-wrote the …

FlixChatter Review: Samaritan (2022)

It’s been a while since I saw Sylvester Stallone in anything, which was Creed II in 2018 (though he did voice the hilarious shark in The Suicide Squad). The 76-year-old actor remains in good shape so it’s unsurprising that he's drawn to a superhero role, and he still looks believable as one. The story is based …

10 Thoughts about ‘She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’ episode 1

Every season we've got a new Disney+ MCU series. After Moon Knight, I was quite marvel-ed out so I skipped Ms. Marvel (which I may still watch at some point. Well, as Summer is drawing to a close, She-Hulk, that is the female cousin of Bruce Banner's Hulk, will keep us company through mid-October. The …

FlixChatter Review: ROGUE AGENT (2022)

The truth surely can be stranger than fiction, so the real-life story of British con man Robert Freegard is ripe for a screen adaptation. There have been documentaries made about him, but I've never seen any of them, and I chose not to read up about him until after. In fact, I wish they hadn't …
