FlixChatter Review: A Complete Unknown (2024) – Timothée Chalamet captures Bob Dylan’s freewheelin’ vibe in James Mangold’s engrossing musical biopic

I’m going to preface this review by saying I have a huge blindspot about Bob Dylan. I probably shouldn’t feel too bad as Timothée Chalamet himself didn’t know much about the world-famous singer/songwriter when he got offered the part. The fact that I live in Minnesota, it’s hard to escape the Dylan effect. Just like …

FlixChatter Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – despite some eye-rolling moments, Ford’s timeless charisma makes even the most absurd scenes worth watching

He also wrote the screenplay and plays the lead role, quite the triple threat. Vengeance is part fish-out-of-water dark comedy and part detective story, which in and of …

FlixChatter Review: THE PREDATOR (2018)

John McTiernan’s Predator came out 31 years ago, it spawned 2 sequels and 2 spinoffs. The original film felt fresh when it’s released back in the late 80s and I think it’s one of the Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best films. The two sequels weren’t as good, both has its moments but quite forgettable to me. The …

FlixChatter Review: Run All Night (2015)

Liam Neeson has struck gold with TAKEN and he’s been doing the same kind of movie since. It could be that he’s now being typecast or that he prefers the big paychecks; I’m thinking it’s a little bit of both. Whatever the case, he’s great as the action hero who can take down countless baddies …
