The last time I caught Angelina Jolie on screen was in Maria, where she played the iconic opera singer Maria Callas. Now, she’s taking on a fictional role as Maxine Walker, a character that shares quite a few personal similarities with Jolie herself. Maxine is an American filmmaker, and Jolie has directed several films; the …

FlixChatter Review: MARIA (2024) – Angelina Jolie is sublime in this stylish but cryptic reimagining of Maria Callas’ last days
Maria, based on the life of opera legend Maria Callas, completes the ‘trilogy’ of iconic women by Chilean director Pablo Larraín. It’s unclear if Larraín intended for them to form a trilogy, but they definitely share some connections. Jackie (as in Jackie Kennedy Onassis), Spencer (about Princess Diana), and now Maria all center on women …
FlixChatter Review: ETERNALS (2021)
I wasn't all that familiar with Eternals as I never read the comics, but I was excited as soon as I heard that Chloe Zhao was announced as director and the casting news starting to pour in.

FlixChatter Review – Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil was at once my most anticipated and most dreaded film of this year. Disney has a long history of over saturating the market with quickly produced sequels, prequels and even midquels of films that have been successful.
