This Summer, I've been watching a lot more TV series than movies. Not sure why, but there is just a ton of good content on streaming. Plus, once you discover a great series, it makes it easier to decide what to watch when I turn on my TV in our home theater. My hubby and …

FlixChatter’s MAY 2025 Viewing Recap + Mini Reviews of Nonnas + A Sacrifice + Movie of the Month
Woo wee!! May was a doozie! My hubby and I traveled to Portugal for the first time in late April until the beginning of May, and it was amazing!! We both adore Lisbon and Porto, especially the latter, and hope to be back there one day! It's not the most productive in terms of movie-watching. …
FlixChatter Review: LEE (2024) – Kate Winslet is fierce as the model-turned-wartime photographer Lee Miller
In a sea of biopics, LEE is one I’ve been looking forward to this year. I’m mildly familiar with the subject matter, Lee Miller, an American fashion model turned war photographer whose photos became one of the most significant contributions to WWII archives.

In fact, the last movie I saw Seth Rogen in a movie is probably 50/50 a decade ago with Joseph Gordon-Levitt which interestingly enough is also directed by Jonathan Levine. Yet there's something about the story …
