FlixChatter Review: You, Me & Tuscany (2026)—A frothy escapist rom-com set in a swoon-worthy, picturesque Italian hilltown
In my review of Anaconda recently, I said that not every movie aims for greatness or being award-worthy. Sometimes it just wants to have a frothy good time without breaking new ground. Well, that seems to be what You, Me & Tuscany aims for and makes us swoon for either the cast or the stunning …

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
AppleTV’s latest feature is a terrifying inferno ravaging a town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. I didn’t realize until after I saw it that it’s based on a true story that happened in 2018, where bus driver Kevin McKay and teacher Mary Ludwig end up saving 22 children during one of California’s …
FlixChatter Review: Time Travel Is Dangerous – A zany British sci-fi comedy about a pair of vintage shop owners’ time-traveling adventures
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.
