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: Pete’s Dragon (2016)
I always try to keep a neutral expectation going into a film, and it's a lot easier when I didn't know much about that particular movie. I had no idea that Pete's Dragon was a remake of the 1977 movie until days before I saw it, and I didn't see the original (which is apparently …
FlixChatter Review: Jurassic World (2015)
It's been twenty two years since the release of Jurassic Park, the phenomenal sci-fi thriller that's still as timeless as ever when I saw it recently. So even though Steven Spielberg is no longer in the directing chair (but still served as executive producer), I was still anticipating my return to Isla Nublar. This time …
