FlixChatter Review: The French Dispatch (2021)

For some reason I had missed this film when it was released last Fall, and I kind of forgotten about it until it arrived on HBO Max this weekend. I’m not a die-hard Wes Anderson fan, after all I haven’t seen Isle of Dogs yet, but I enjoyed Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, and The …

I decided to re-watch the original this weekend, but I barely remembered much of it by the time I saw this reboot. I pretty much chose to stay away from all the controversy over its all-female casting, chugging …

Weekend Viewing Roundup: Ghostbusters (1984) & Superman Returns (2006) rewatch + The Adventurer: Curse Of The Midas Box (2013)

Well this weekend's viewing turns out to be pretty eclectic. Given that I saw the screening of the new Ghostbuster movie (review up later this week), I was inspired to re-watch the original.

FlixChatter Review: Disney’s The Jungle Book (2016)

It's been ages since I saw the cartoon version of The Jungle Book. I have to admit I wasn't too keen on this remake idea when it was first announced, despite the amazing voice cast. But I love when films I wasn't even anticipating end up being such a pleasant surprise, and The Jungle Book did …
