FlixChatter’s 2025 Best List: Top 10 TV series I enjoyed watching this year

With just about a week to go in 2025, I’m hitting pause briefly on film reviews to share some of the TV series and miniseries I loved watching this year. While most TV fans tend to binge-watch over 50 shows annually, I only managed to catch a little more than a dozen—more if you consider …

FlixChatter Review: A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) – Margot Robbie + Colin Farrell’s tedious and schmaltzy fantasy romance lacks heart

Romance is a tough genre to get right. A fantasy romance is even trickier. I feel like there aren’t too many quintessentially romantic dramas for adults, so I’m excited when a film like A Big Bold Beautiful Journey comes along, especially with huge A-listers like Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. This is Robbie’s first leading …

The dust hasn't quite settled on the Oscars nomination for pundits and cinephiles… I mean, I'm still reeling from the fact that my #1 film of 2022, The Woman King was grossly overlooked.

Musings on the HFPA & 2023 Golden Globes + My Favorite Acceptance Speeches

Confession: I actually forgot the Golden Globes telecast was happening last night, so I went to a press screening of Gerry Butler's PLANE movie instead. I don't have cable anyways but I did catch some of the speeches that were posted on YouTube and honestly, I'd rather just watch the winners' acceptance speeches than sit …

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) Review – an amusingly bleak tale of a harrowing break-up

Everything was fine yesterday… such simple words, but yet it packs a punch when it's uttered from one friend to another. It sounds funny when I first heard it, but when I think more about it, it's quite poignant, distressing even. And that's how Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin operates from start to finish. Set …

FlixChatter Review: AFTER YANG (2022)

Science fiction can often be the perfect genre to explore what it means to be human. The concept of human + AI interaction is nothing new and has been explored to death in movies, yet this sci-fi drama still offers something fresh and poignant.  After Yang is set in a not-so-distant future where droids and …
