FlixChatter Double Reviews – Avengers: Age of Ultron

Ted's Review I have a confession to make, I’m not a big fan of the first Avengers film, I enjoyed it for the most part but when I watched it again on Bluray, I found it kind of dragging. So going into this gigantic sequel, I had no high expectations for it. Well color surprise …

FlixChatter Review: LUCY (2014)

A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic. Luc Besson is a hit and miss director for me. Of his recent works, The Family was abhorrent, but The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec has its charm, so I proceeded this one with caution. The …

I think director Joe Johnston did an outstanding job in introducing a superhero who's not inherently cool like most of his …

FlixChatter Review: Spike Jonze’s HER

Once in a while, a film you hadn't heard much about suddenly sneaked in and took your breath away. In 2013, that film for me was HER. In its simplistic terms, Spike Jonze's sci-fi drama is about a guy who falls in love with an Operating System. Yes, that alone is downright bizarre, which at …

FlixChatter Review: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s debut Don Jon

My body. My pad. My ride. My family. My church. My boys. My girls. My porn. The film begins with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Jersey-accented voice over as Jon Martello, a New Jersey bartender nicknamed Don Jon by his buddies for his ability to pull '10s' types of girls every weekend at the club. The film starts …

Spotlight on Bill Murray & my Top Five Favorite Roles

It was Bill Murray's birthday this past Saturday, he turned 63. I know it's a bit late but I can't resist making a tribute to the comedian whose practically a legend. I've always been a big fan of the Illinois native, he's perhaps my favorite SNL-grad (he's one of the original members) who's made it …
