It’s been nearly a decade since the original Zootopia was released in 2016. I’m surprised that it took this long for the sequel to come out, given that the original was a critical and commercial success. It earned over $1 billion internationally (with a budget of $150 million) and won an Oscar for Best Animated …

FlixChatter Review: A House of Dynamite (2025) – Bigelow expertly crafts a nail-biting nightmare scenario scarier than most horror tales this Halloween season
I saw A House of Dynamite just hours after hearing news that Putin was running missile drills to check Russia’s nuclear readiness, sending a clear message to his rivals that he has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world. Knowing that makes watching this timely doomsday political thriller even more eerie. The film kicks off …

FlixChatter Review: Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
Can’t believe it’s been seven years since George Miller directed one of my fave movies in the past decade, Mad Max: Fury Road.
