This is the type of film I’d watch in a heartbeat just for the cast! Plus, I have an affinity for films about elderly pensioners banding together for a cause, or in this case, a mystery to solve. Four lively retirees reside in Coopers Chase, a posh retirement village nestled in the English countryside. Helen …

Trio Trailer Spotlight – August movies I’d watch just for the cast: Highest 2 Lowest | EDEN | The Thursday Murder Club
Happy Friday, all! TGIF – it's been a hectic week, so I know I'm looking forward to the weekend! I haven't done a trailer post since May, which didn't feel that long ago, but that was three months ago! This year has been flying way too fast 😬 Well, since it's Friday, I thought I'd …
Easter Special Review: The King of Kings (2025) – The story of Jesus is narrated through the lens of Charles Dickens in this star-studded animated feature
The story of Christ has been told cinematically countless times, though in terms of feature animation, this is the first one I’ve seen so far.

You know when you watch a trailer and you sigh because not only does the trailer practically gives away the entire movie, you also wish that the supporting actor played the lead role. Well, Self/less is such a movie and the actor I wish had played the lead is Matthew Goode. More on that later. …
FlixChatter Review: EXODUS: Gods and Kings (2014)
Sir Ridley Scott maybe the most inconsistent successful film director ever, he first burst into fame by directing Alien in 1979 but made two big budget misfires a few years later, Blade Runner and Legend. He came back into prominence again in 1991 with Thelma & Louise, but the rest of his work in the 90s …
