Happy November, all! 🧡 Two more months until we're done with 2025, wow!! I feel like this past year felt like a blur… I wouldn't say it's been uneventful, but if we're talking about movies, there aren't major releases that made this year extra special. I am still looking forward to some award-worthy films in …

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) – The 5th live-action adaptation of Marvel’s First Family still doesn’t live up to its name
The Fantastic Four: First Steps marks the fifth live-action adaptation to date: there are two versions from 20th Century Fox in 2005 and 2007, a reboot in 2015, and let’s not forget the 1994 low-budget Roger Corman version that never saw the light of day. I’ve only seen the 2005 version, though the most memorable …
FlixChatter Review – Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)
About halfway through the movie, a character utters the line ‘Jurassic World? Ugh, not a fan.’ Now, that character is referring to the theme park Jurassic World, which was as ill-advised an idea as there ever was, but it made me think of Jurassic World the movie.

It’s already well-known even for casual Batman fans that Gotham City …

So yeah, its financial prowess still prove to be monstrous, even as the power of its monsters continue to reach diminishing returns. If you haven't seen the …

FlixChatter Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
Let me preface this review by saying that I haven't seen any of the classic Apes movies in the 60s. I did see the 2001 reboot but I can barely remember any of it. But the 2011 version won me over that I'm intrigued to see what's going to happen next. The story takes place about a …

ABC’s TOY STORY of TERROR – The only Halloween Special I’m excited for this month
Wahoo!! My favorite toy gang is back! Can you believe it that it's been 3 years since TOY STORY 3 was released? Well, that film made my top five of 2010, one of those rare movies that garners a full 5/5 score from moi. Now, I did have a small quibble about that film in …
