FlixChatter Review: Ghostbusters (2016)

It's been ages since I saw the first Ghostbusters movie, which was released three decades ago in 1984. 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. I honestly can't remember when I saw that one, probably when I was a teen years ago, so my memory of it is hazy. …

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 …

I came to appreciate Wes Anderson's films through his third feature film The Royal Tennenbaum a few years after its release in 2001. I enjoyed it but I didn't immediately become a fan right away, his movies are definitely an acquired taste. Since then I have only seen three more from his work, The Darjeeling …

Rental Pick: The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

The Darjeeling Limited (2007) A year after their father's funeral, three brothers travel across India by train in an attempt to bond with each other. To say it's a quirky movie is an understatement, you've come to expect that from Wes Anderson, but I think this one felt extra kooky as it has a bit …

Spotlight on Bill Murray & my Top Five Favorite Roles

It was Bill Murray's birthday this past Saturday, he turned 63. I know it's a bit late but I can't resist making a tribute to the comedian whose practically a legend. I've always been a big fan of the Illinois native, he's perhaps my favorite SNL-grad (he's one of the original members) who's made it …
