Happy March, everyone!! I'm having Spring Fever after a long Winter... It's not quite warm yet here in MN, today's high is only in mid 20s, but hey, at least the sun was shining! February seemed to have gone in a flash! It's a special month for me as my birthday falls on February 11, …

FlixChatter Review: ELEANOR THE GREAT (2025) – Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is decent, but June Squibb is always great
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.

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 …
