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, …
