James Cameron took more than a decade to dive back into the Avatar universe, spending that time fine-tuning the underwater filming tech for its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. The second and third sequels, Fire and Ash, were shot back-to-back, as part of a huge production effort to manage the actors' aging process throughout …

FlixChatter Review: THE GORGE (2025) on Apple TV+ – This amusingly romantic creature feature can’t sustain the intense build-up
The Gorge is a sci-fi horror romance that AppleTV+ released just in time for Valentine’s Day. I found the trailer really interesting, especially seeing Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller as skilled snipers stationed in towers on either side of a huge, secretive gorge. Directed by Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Black Phone) based on a …
What I Watched in March 2023 + Mini Reviews + Movie Of the Month
Happy April Fools Day! I guess the joke's on us Minnesotans. Spring? Yeah right. As I'm writing this, our driveway is covered in white stuff again 
I didn't expect to have to plow/shovel 6-8 inches of thick, wet, and heavy new snow! So much for rejoicing about not having to shovel again this year …

Weekend Viewing Roundup: Ghostbusters (1984) & Superman Returns (2006) rewatch + The Adventurer: Curse Of The Midas Box (2013)
Well this weekend's viewing turns out to be pretty eclectic. Given that I saw the screening of the new Ghostbuster movie (review up later this week), I was inspired to re-watch the original. I honestly can't remember when I saw that one, probably when I was a teen years ago, so my memory of it is hazy. …
FlixChatter Review: CHAPPIE (2015)
Neill Blomkamp burst into Hollywood fame with his film debut District 9, a film that was well-received by both critics and audiences alike; although I’m not a fan of it myself. Then he hit a sophomore slump with Elysium, it wasn’t a great movie but I enjoyed it more than District 9. For his newest …
