FlixChatter Review – David Fincher’s The Killer (2023) is a lean and mean thriller with terrific fight scenes

It has been almost a decade since I saw a film by David Fincher. His last film, Gone Girl, hit theaters back in the fall of 2014 and he hasn’t released a film until 2020’s Mank, a film that I have yet to see and I’m just not that interested in seeing it. Just like …

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, …

FlixChatter Review: The French Dispatch (2021)

For some reason I had missed this film when it was released last Fall, and I kind of forgotten about it until it arrived on HBO Max this weekend. I’m not a die-hard Wes Anderson fan, after all I haven’t seen Isle of Dogs yet, but I enjoyed Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, and The …
