FlixChatter Review: THE GORGE (2025) on Apple TV+ – This amusingly romantic creature feature can’t sustain the intense build-up

The Gorge is a sci-fi horror romance that AppleTV+ released just in time for Valentine’s Day. I found the trailer really interesting, especially seeing Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller as skilled snipers stationed in towers on either side of a huge, secretive gorge. Directed by Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Black Phone) based on a …

FlixChatter Review – Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) – Miller delivers another thrill ride with jaw-dropping action centered on a brilliantly fiery heroine

Hollywood loves origin stories but not every character deserves to have their backstories told as a standalone feature. Furiosa however, is one character that not only deserves but demands to have her story told.

FlixChatter Review: RADIOACTIVE (2019)

Ever since her breakout role in Gone Girl, Rosamund Pike has become an even more compelling performer who often portrays brilliant real-life heroines. A couple of years ago, I thought her performance in A Private War as fearless war-correspondence Marie Colvin. Well, she plays yet another Marie in this film, Marie Curie, the Polish-born Nobel …

FlixChatter review: EMMA. (2020)

Jane Austen never dies... from theater adaptations, TV shows to feature films, the demand for Austen-related content remains strong. I am perfectly ok with that. I don't count myself an Austen purist, so I welcome new interpretations/visions, even crazy mashup like Pride & Prejudice & Zombies can be highly enjoyable (hello Colonel Darcy! 😍) This …
