Christopher Nolan is back with his sixth feature, 25 years after his feature debut Following. He’s reached a point where his films are regarded as motion picture events, as is the case with this one. Nolan has been rather obsessed with this subject matter for a long time, even his previous film Tenet deals with …

AIR (2023) review – Affleck + Damon hit the bullseye with a riveting Air Jordan origin story

I can't imagine a time when Nike wasn't such a sports brand juggernaut, but AIR's insightful exposition that double as an homage to the 80s reveals how Nike was an underdog shoe company back in 1984. Converse, which is now owned by Nike, had the largest market share, followed by Adidas with 29% and Nike …

FlixChatter Review: The Last Duel (2021)

I have a thing for Medieval stories. In fact, a few years ago, I was quite obsessed with the Wars of the Roses after seeing The White Queen miniseries. So when the first trailer of The Last Duel first came out, naturally I was intrigued! As a big fan of Gladiator, I know Ridley Scott …

Guest Review: The Great Wall (2017)

Directed By: Yimou Zhang Written By: Carlo Bernard, Doug Miro and Tony Gilroy Runtime: 1 hr 43 minutes I’m so happy they cast Matt Damon as the lead in The Great Wall. Middle-aged white men are dangerously underrepresented in Hollywood nowadays, and giving recognition to a criminally underused actor was such a brave, progressive decision by …

Ranking the BOURNE villains – from worst to best

Every hero requires a villain and the Jason Bourne franchise has plenty of villains to root against. I do want to see him go up against other groups of villains though, as opposed to just CIA bigwigs and their hired assassins. Maybe for the next sequel, Bourne could take down some other group of baddies. In …

FlixChatter Review: Jason Bourne (2016)

As a fan of the Bourne trilogy, I was dismayed when in 2012, Universal went ahead with the sequel (Bourne Legacy) without Matt Damon. That fact perhaps made me more excited to see Damon teamed up again with director Paul Greengrass for a fifth (well, technically fourth) entry. I guess it's inevitable that a franchise as lucrative …
