After a year-long delay, Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated film has finally reached US theaters. Mickey 17 came six years after Bong’s Oscar-winning film Parasite, a shrewd blend of black comedy, social satire, and Hitchcockian thriller, which stands as one of my top 10 favorite films of 2019. Set in the not-too-distant tomorrow of 2054, the …

FlixChatter Review: JUROR #2 (2024) – Clint Eastwood’s engrossing courtroom drama has me feeling torn in all the best ways.
I actually heard about this film from reports that Warner Bros had somehow ‘buried’ the film as it was released with minimal fanfare in limited theaters with no plan for expansion.

FlixChatter Review: Nightmare Alley (2021)
With a name like Nightmare Alley and directed by Guillermo del Toro, those unfamiliar with the source material might assume it's a horror movie.

Dream Horse offers just the thing… starring the always reliable Toni Collette as Jan Vokes, a small-town supermarket cashier by day and bartender by night …
FlixChatter Review: Knives Out (2019)
With a provocative title like Knives Out, the film had better be a sharp murder mystery. Fortunately, writer/director Rian Johnson and his stellar ensemble cast delivered! The film embraces the tropes of the whodunnit genre – the wealthy dysfunctional family, the historic mansion, and an eccentric detective investigating the case... but it cleverly turned it …
FlixChatter Review: Netflix’s VELVET BUZZSAW (2019)
Netflix has truly become a force to be reckoned with in terms of original content, the fact that they apparently planned on making 90 original movies this year alone… with budgets up to $200mil! In the Winter time, streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon are a staple for me, as weather can wreck havoc on …
