Woo wee!! Nothing perks up a gray Tuesday after a 3-day weekend like a trailer of a highly-anticipated series! Can't believe it's been two years since we've seen a new episode of The Mandalorian – yep, S2 season finale was released back in December 2020! I still remember my state of shock seeing Luke Skywalker …

FlixChatter Review – Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)
About halfway through the movie, a character utters the line ‘Jurassic World? Ugh, not a fan.’ Now, that character is referring to the theme park Jurassic World, which was as ill-advised an idea as there ever was, but it made me think of Jurassic World the movie.

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 …
Weekend Roundup: Leap Year, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond & a whole lot of Toby Stephens
If someone were to ask me, "What did you do this weekend?" Well, the short answer would be "Toby Stephens." Ahah, well ok so it came out wrong, didn't it? I meant, my weekend pretty much consisted of watching/listening/tumblr-ing about him, my long-lifeless tumblr has been set ablaze now by Toby's fiery charisma. I did manage to …
Guest Review: The Help is a faithful adaptation
Special thanks to my friend & colleague Susan Martin. While I read Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel, The Help, almost three years ago, seeing the movie adaptation a few weeks ago truly reminded me how much I loved the book. I appreciated the fact that the movie stayed true to the novel in every sense. The …
