It's a tradition for me to catch a Danish film at MSPIFF. Back in 2021, I checked out the dark comedy Riders of Justice, which is both written and directed by Anders Thomas Jensen, featuring Mads Mikkelsen in the lead role. The concept of The Last Viking sets the stage for some hilarious moments, while …

FlixChatter Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – despite some eye-rolling moments, Ford’s timeless charisma makes even the most absurd scenes worth watching
It’s been 15 years since the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released, which doesn't exactly make me want to see another Indy movie. Still, despite the not-so-stellar early reviews, I was determined to stay neutral and judge Dial of Destiny for myself. It starts out with a familiar sequence in 1944 where Indy is …
Trailer Spotlight – Harrison Ford is back in Indiana Jones 5: Dial of Destiny (2023)
Woo wee!! Color me surprised, pleasantly surprised that is. To be honest, I was mostly meh about the latest Indiana Jones installment, mostly because The Kingdom of Crystal Skull is such an abomination (see this list of unnecessary blockbuster sequels). I also think at 80 years old, Harrison Ford is practically a relic himself! But …

FlixChatter Review – ROGUE ONE: A Star Wars Story (2016)
I don't call myself a Star Wars groupie and honestly I was rather lukewarm about The Force Awakens. At the same time I didn't hate the prequels trilogy (episode 1-3) though I have to admit there were tons of problems. But the more I hear about Rogue One and that amazing international cast, the more I look …

FlixChatter Review: Doctor Strange (2016)
I have to admit I wasn't really anticipating this movie at all. I wasn't familiar with this character at all and honestly, I have grown a bit tired of seeing Benedict Cumberbatch, though I did like him before he was super famous from playing Sherlock. Now it's no fault of his but I tend to …
