WOMEN TALKING (2022) review – the magnetic power of dialog, delivered with such honesty and emotional convictions

I saw this film and She Said within a day of each other. Both films deal with sexual assault towards women and are based on real events, but while Harvey Weinstein’s scandals are all over the news, few are aware of the story of Mennonite women (not to be confused with the Amish community). Though …

FlixChatter Review: NO TIME TO DIE(2021)

For Bond fans, it has been a long seven year itch since we last saw a new Bond movie on the big screen. Delayed 2.5 years since April 2020, it's been quite an arduous waiting game… there's even a rumor at one point that Bond might be coming via a streaming service [gasp!] Well I …

FlixChatter Review: The Personal History of David Copperfield (2020)

I had been wanting to see this since this film came out last Fall in the UK. Its US release was supposed to be in May this year, but of course it was delayed due to Covid-19. Well, it was well worth the wait! Confession: I’m actually not that familiar with this Charles Dickens’ classic (the …

When I first heard of the premise of this film, I was already sold. Then I saw the trailer and I knew it'd be a bizarre film, but nothing could prepare me for how bizarre it turned out to be. The film is set in a dystopian near future where it's unlawful to be single according to …

Top Ten Favorite Actor Voices… that I can listen to for hours

Well, on Tuesday night I saw the press screening of The Jungle Book, which is a remake of the 1967 animated film. It was such a pleasant surprise, a visually-mesmerizing film with a simple-yet-moving story. That film is certainly an eye AND ear candy, with phenomenal voice actors like Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, …

FlixChatter Review: SPECTRE (2015)

I wonder if the way I feel about the Bond song somehow impacts how I feel about the film itself. Some of my least favorite Bond songs are The Man with the Golden Gun, Die Another Day, and Quantum of Solace, and those are also my least favorite Bond films. I already mentioned in this …

TV Miniseries Spotlight: The Hollow Crown

I've heard of it but somehow it fell off my radar. Not sure how as I'm a sucker for this kind of stories... AND Tom Hiddleston! Well, thanks to my good pal Terrence for sending me the trailer link via Twitter. What a pal he is... oh btw, don't forget to vote on his weekly …
