Hollywood has always been obsessed with itself. Just look at the last decade—there are tons of movies about the industry in every genre you can think of, from historical dramas to funny satires to biopics.

FlixChatter Review: TONY (2026)–A24’s unflinchingly honest portrait of culinary legend Anthony Bourdain as a brash, brilliant young lout
I always find it fascinating when well-known artists, like actors and musicians, mention in interviews that they never intended to end up in their current careers. Whether it’s due to an injury, unexpected life events, or simply a change of heart, at some point, they shifted to the profession they’re now recognized for. This was …
Guest Review: How to Make a Killing (2026) – Powell is good as an everyman type protagonist, but it’s Qualley & Henwick who delivered killer performances
Hollywood is desperate to find their next big superstar to lead big blockbuster films. The current crop of super stars are getting older; many of them are already in their 50s and 60s.

FlixChatter Review: SORRY, BABY (2024) – Eva Victor’s unapologetically wry, quirky yet tender tragicomedy

FlixChatter Review: A24’s JANET PLANET (2024) – Annie Baker’s kooky but tender mom-daughter drama starring the criminally underrated Julianne Nicholson
There have been some memorable parent-child films I’ve seen of late: Nowhere Special, Ezra, and Ghostlight, to name a few. Here we have a single mother named Janet who lives with her 11-year-old daughter Lacy in rural Massachusetts. What really drew me to this film is its connection to the theater world, as it's directed …
FlixChatter Review – Alex Garland’s CIVIL WAR (2024) – an intense, gripping dystopian thriller that doesn’t take political sides
When writer/director Alex Garland announced that his next film was about a civil war in the United States, I was a bit concerned. Considering how divided we are as a country; I didn’t think a film about civil war in this country would be a good idea. When a trailer was released, I was still …
