Another week, another remake/reimagining of a classic. Now, the appeal of this new interpretation of Warren Adler’s novel is the two leads: Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch as Ivy and Theo Rose. I vaguely remember seeing the 1989 movie The War of the Roses with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas, which started with a war of words …

FlixChatter Review: THE CREATOR (2023) – a visually arresting sci-fi that challenges us whether AI is truly the enemy
It’s quite uncanny that this film’s release coincides with the week when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) finally reached a deal with AMPTP where much of the contract stipulations pertain to Artificial Intelligence.
