FlixChatter Special List: Memorable Nurses in Movies – in honor of slain Minnesota ICU Nurse Alex Pretti

My heart feels heavy. The last few weeks have been particularly tense and heart-wrenching for Minnesota residents. If you’re not familiar with the dire situation in my adopted state, we have been swarmed by 3,000+ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents since late last Fall, even though the number of immigrants in this blue state …

FlixChatter Review: EDEN (2025) – Ron Howard tackles a real survival-of-the-fittest tale where humans are their own worst enemies

The first thing that strikes me about this film set on Floreana Island is that it’s actually based on a true story. The second is that it's a Ron Howard film, which seems unusual at first glance, as he’s not the filmmaker that comes to mind upon seeing the trailer. But as I watched the …

FlixChatter Review: The Gray Man (2022)

Another week, another big, expensive but soulless Netflix blockbuster. It’s no wonder they’re losing subscribers by the thousands with this kind of quantity over quality mentality. It doesn’t help that the streaming subscription is getting more and more expensive, it’ll cost us $15.49 per month in August. Undoubtedly Netflix is seeking a lucrative action franchise to …
