I feel the need...the need for speed! Woo wee!! I needed something to get my mind off the fiasco that was Oscars 2022! This proved to be the kind of distraction I needed! Boy, can you believe it's been 36 years since the first Top Gun came out? I was still a pre-teen at the …

FlixChatter Review: The Lost Daughter (2021)
The Lost Daughter marks another directorial debut from a terrific actress. Earlier this year I saw Passing from Rebecca Hall, and this time it’s Maggie Gyllenhaal behind the camera and also wrote the script based on Elena Ferrante’s novel. Olivia Colman plays Leda, a middle-aged professor of comparative literature vacationing in a Greek island. It’s …

FlixChatter Review: KODACHROME (2017)
When this title flashed on Netflix, my hubby was instantly intrigued because he's an amateur photographer who's been dabbling in music scoring.

TCFF 2015: Review of ‘The Adderall Diaries’ + interview with writer/director Pamela Romanowsky

Franco played Stephen, a writer who seems to be at the height of his career. His agent constantly calls him about various book deals and options. There's even a new romance in the air, as …
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 …
