I’m going to preface this review by saying I have a huge blindspot about Bob Dylan. I probably shouldn’t feel too bad as Timothée Chalamet himself didn’t know much about the world-famous singer/songwriter when he got offered the part. The fact that I live in Minnesota, it’s hard to escape the Dylan effect. Just like …

FlixChatter Review: DUNE Part Two – Denis Villeneuve’s magnum opus is even more mesmerizing than the first
After a three-year wait, the sci-fi cinematic event from Denis Villeneuve is here! I’m a huge fan of Part One, which was my #1 film of 2021, so I couldn’t wait for Part Two. Because this is a continuation of the first, not a sequel per se, I knew I could safely expect the same kind …
FlixChatter Review: Wonka (2023) – Paul King’s sprightly musical has just the right dose of kookiness, magical whimsy + heart
Roald Dahl's classics have been popular in Hollywood, and one that’s been adapted several times is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

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 …
