Let's just say one thing for sure, this isn't your grandfather's Sherlock Holmes. This version breathes the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, but purists beware that Guy Ritchie definitely takes some, ok a lot of liberties with his interpretation of the legendary detective. Reportedly, Madonna's ex is a Holmes aficionado who's clearly been …

FlixChatter’s AVATAR review
To say Avatar is like nothing you've seen before is a quite an understatement. Back in June, I list Avatar as one of five must-see flix of the rest of 2009 and ever since then, the hype promised it to be something of an epic thrill ride. Well, I can confidently say that fifteen years …
FlixChatter Review: Julie & Julia

Return to Me – The beautiful, poignant chickflix nobody’s ever seen!
I can't remember exactly how I stumbled upon RETURN TO ME years ago, but I am sure glad I did. Now I'm not a huge fan of chickflix in general, especially those with the quintessential formula of ‘boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back and they …
