June Squibb is a national treasure! It’s astonishing that she finally got to play a leading role in Thelma last year, more than 65 years after her acting career began. But better late than never, as I’m thrilled to see her portray the film’s title role once again, this time in Scarlett Johansson’s directorial …

FlixChatter Review: JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH (2025) – Life finds a way?… clearly, greed finds all sorts of ways
It’s only three years ago that Jurassic World: Dominion was released in 2022, so this reboot feels too soon and wholly unnecessary. Interesting that the film begins in a world where humans have become detached and jaded with dinosaurs. Early in the movie, a dying Brontosaurus is spotted in Manhattan traffic, seen more as a …
FlixChatter Review: Fly Me To The Moon–Despite the odd tonal shifts, Johansson & Tatum manage to get this droll NASA rom-com dramedy to lift off
There are several movies made already about the 1960s space race, but anything ‘old’ can feel new again if it’s presented from a different angle. Fly Me to the Moon might not be your thing if you're searching for an in-depth look at moon landing conspiracy theories. It certainly makes for an interesting backdrop for …
FlixChatter Review: ASTEROID CITY – Wes Anderson’s first foray into sci-fi is soulless + overly self-indulgent
You know what to expect when you go see a Wes Anderson movie, as his shtick is persistent across all his work there are endless spoofs of a bunch of classic movies done in Wes Anderson style. I have not seen all of his work but I love The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, …
Trailer Spotlight – Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY – his first foray into sci-fi features an out-of-this-world cast
I know we've barely escaped Winter yet – there's actually an upcoming Winter storm coming tomorrow until Saturday morning [SIGH], but I'm already anticipating Spring and Summer movies! Wes Anderson's movies don't always get released in the Summer months, in fact, the last one, The French Dispatch, was released in the Fall. I suppose it's …
FlixChatter Review: SING 2 (2021)
Illumination Studios is a relatively young company. Its first film Despicable Me in 2010 was a huge hit and made those cute yellow Minions a phenomenon (I even own some of its action figures). In just over a decade, they’ve manage to spun up three original (that is not based on existing IP) franchises… Despicable …
FlixChatter Review: Black Widow (2021)
When Natasha Romanoff was first introduced in the MCU 11 years ago in Iron Man 2, I didn’t immediately warm up to the character. Even Scarlett Johansson herself admitted Romanoff was portrayed more as a sex object, albeit a bad ass one. Thankfully, she continues to evolve for the better in the subsequent movies, as …
