FlixChatter Review: ARGYLLE (2024) – Matthew Vaughn’s big, dumb, wish-it-were-more-fun spy caper wastes the star-studded cast

When I first saw Argylle’s trailer, it reminded me of Sandra Bullock’s 2022 comedy The Lost City where she too played a reclusive romance author who got swept up in an adventure with her novel’s cover model. Well, the plot of Matthew Vaughn’s latest movie centers on Elly Conway, an introverted female author of a …

FlixChatter Review: ASTEROID CITY – Wes Anderson’s first foray into sci-fi is soulless + overly self-indulgent

You know what to expect when you go see a Wes Anderson movie, as his shtick is persistent across all his work there are endless spoofs of a bunch of classic movies done in Wes Anderson style. I have not seen all of his work but I love The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, …

Guest Review: Why Him? (2016)

After being underwhelmed by the last holiday comedy I reviewed (Office Christmas Party), I was not particularly enthusiastic about seeing another one- especially one written by Jonah Hill and starring James Franco. Not that they aren’t both talented, but the majority of their collaborations have been stoner comedies, which have never really been my thing. …

Double Reviews: Trumbo (2015) & Hail, Caesar! (2016)

I generally love movies about making movies. Yes it's like Hollywood taking a giant selfie and we all know there are no shortage of narcissists in the business. Nevertheless I enjoy watching movies about the tales of how a picture got made, especially set in the Golden Age of Hollywood where the behind-the-scenes drama is likely …

November Viewing Roundup + What I watched during my hiatus

Hello hello! Miss me? Well I'm not exactly back yet, I'm extending my hiatus probably until after Christmas. I've been diligently working on my script daily and I don't want to lose momentum. I might still do a post here and there if I have time and feel like doing it, so don't forget me …

Total Recall – Double Review

Here we go again. The question of 'is this remake necessary?' is ubiquitous once again. For some, Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger is regarded a classic. So naturally, people are crying foul when director Len Wiseman announced he's doing a remake 22 years after the original's release in 1990. So today, Ted and …

FlixChatter Review: John Carter (2012)

This is one of those movies I just didn't really care for from the first time I heard about it, and the trailer didn't really convince me otherwise. But my hubby really wanted to see it and I must admit I became more curious after reading some positive reviews, such as this one from my …
