FlixChatter Review: BLACK BAG (2025) – Soderbergh’s sleek, sexy spy caper makes the most of its impressive ensemble cast

Steven Soderbergh is a prolific filmmaker and he’s also a talented jack of all trades, one of those rare directors who’ve done cinematography, writing, editing, etc. I have to admit I haven’t always kept up with his work; the last film I saw that he directed was The Laundromat in 2019.

FlixChatter Review – VENOM: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

I’m a big fan of Tom Hardy, but for some reason I just wasn’t interested in seeing Venom back in 2018.

FlixChatter Review: SPECTRE (2015)

I wonder if the way I feel about the Bond song somehow impacts how I feel about the film itself. Some of my least favorite Bond songs are The Man with the Golden Gun, Die Another Day, and Quantum of Solace, and those are also my least favorite Bond films. I already mentioned in this …
