Movies about dirty cops are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, and it's always been a popular genre. They bring exciting moral dilemmas and delve into the darker aspects of human nature and power.

FlixChatter Review: Train Dreams (2025) – A stunning, pensive historical drama anchored in Joel Edgerton’s quiet, soulful performance
The award-nominated duo behind SING SING, Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley, crafts another phenomenal cinematic project, Train Dreams. They both love crafting narratives that draw from real-life elements and settings.

FlixChatter Review: A House of Dynamite (2025) – Bigelow expertly crafts a nail-biting nightmare scenario scarier than most horror tales this Halloween season
I saw A House of Dynamite just hours after hearing news that Putin was running missile drills to check Russia’s nuclear readiness, sending a clear message to his rivals that he has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world.

Sequels to Crimson Tide and Days of Thunder are coming to theaters or streaming services soon. Last year’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F …
TV Review: A Man On The Inside (S1) – Ted Danson shines in this witty + funny series about aging that’s enjoyable for everyone of all ages
A good friend of mine, Becky (aka Prairie Girl), recommended this one to me, and I’m so glad she did. I think this is one of the most underrated shows of 2024 that should’ve gotten more attention. Netflix's A Man On The Inside (Season 1) Charles, a widowed retired professor, finds a fresh purpose when …
Streaming Movies Double Reviews: HEADS OF STATE (Amazon Prime) + THE OLD GUARD 2 (Netflix)
Welcome to another edition of FlixChatter Double Reviews. I thought I’d review these two action movies that dropped on the same day, July 2nd, on Amazon Prime and Netflix, respectively. HEADS OF STATE I have a penchant for buddy comedies, especially when they cast the right actors for the roles. Well, anything with Idris Elba …
