Directed by Jalmari HelanderStarring: Jorma Tommila, Stephen Lang, Richard Brake Every film has its place. In the classic sense, movies were created to escape, entertain, and create a visceral reaction from their audience – whether that be laughter, shock, horror and hopefully a certain sense of satisfaction.

FlixChatter’s OCTOBER Viewing Recap + ’52 Films By Women’ Update + Movie of the Month
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.

FlixChatter Review: ANEMONE (2025) – Daniel Day-Lewis hasn’t lost his mastery & passion for his craft, as his son Ronan is still honing his directorial flair
Anemone will likely be known primarily as the comeback film for Daniel Day-Lewis after an 8-year self-imposed ‘retirement’ after he filmed Phantom Thread with PTA. Notably, this film is a family affair as it’s directed by Daniel’s son, Ronan Day-Lewis, and the two also collaborated on the screenplay. The ancient Greek term "anemone" means "windflower," …
FlixChatter Review: THE LOST BUS (2025) – McConaughey + Ferrera go full throttle in Paul Greengrass’ fiery, action-packed docudrama

I'm always fascinated by stories about time travel, and I have a soft spot for mockumentaries. Time Travel Is Dangerous merges these two concepts, making the premise quite exciting. Besties Ruth and Megan run a vintage store called ChaChaCha in Muswell Hill, London. One day, they find what appears to be a discarded bumper …
FlixChatter Review: THE ROSES (2025) – Colman & Cumberbatch make for a fun & feisty pair in this dark comedy about a marital breakdown
Another week, another remake/reimagining of a classic. Now, the appeal of this new interpretation of Warren Adler’s novel is the two leads: Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch as Ivy and Theo Rose. I vaguely remember seeing the 1989 movie The War of the Roses with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas, which started with a war of words …
FlixChatter Review: EDEN (2025) – Ron Howard tackles a real survival-of-the-fittest tale where humans are their own worst enemies
The first thing that strikes me about this film set on Floreana Island is that it’s actually based on a true story. The second is that it's a Ron Howard film, which seems unusual at first glance, as he’s not the filmmaker that comes to mind upon seeing the trailer. But as I watched the …
