FlixChatter Review: THE FLASH (2023) – despite an electrifying start, it becomes a chore to sit through in the end… but Keaton’s Batman saves the movie.

One thing worse than suffering from superhero fatigue is feeling exhausted by the multiverse mania, so I wasn't exactly clamoring to see the latest DCEU movie as the dawn of James Gunn's DC Universe is near. What's more, even though Ezra Miller isn’t doing press for the movie, it’s impossible to overlook their off-screen violent …

AMSTERDAM (2022) Review – Another proof that star power never guarantees a movie’s quality

When I watched the trailer of Amsterdam back in July, I could barely pay attention to the story thanks to the star-studded ensemble.

FlixChatter Review: The Shape of Water (2017)

Once in a blue moon I fell in love for a film just from the trailer. It happened with The Shape of Water sometime last Fall, but it took a few months before I finally saw it. Forbidden love stories are my thing, but this isn't just a typical star-crossed lovers. Guillermo del Toro created a romance …

Guest Review: NOCTURNAL ANIMALS (2016)

Written/Directed By: Tom Ford Cast: Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson Runtime: 1 hr 56 minutes It is hard to adequately describe the opening scenes of the psychological thriller Nocturnal Animals (2016) but you will not forget them quickly. Picture, if you will, images of completely naked and generously sized women writhing rhythmically to a heavy beat …
