FlixChatter Review: Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) – They’re no spring chickens but this buddy cop duo still got some life left in them

Let me start this review with a confession: I haven’t seen the previous three Bad Boys movies, and my introduction to this franchise is via Edgar Wright’s zany action comedy Hot Fuzz (2007). Can’t believe it's been almost 30 years since the first Bad Boys came out, not that you’d know it from looking at …

FlixChatter Review: King Richard (2021)

Even if you don’t really follow the world of tennis, you would have to live under a rock if you haven’t heard of Venus and Serena Williams. I have to admit I didn’t know much about their upbringing so when I saw the film was about their father, I was intrigued. Will Smith plays the title …

Music Break: Independence Day (1996) patriotic score by David Arnold

Happy Fourth of July, everyone!! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend, wherever you are. I went up north for a couple of days for a quick weekend getaway and went kayaking around Apostle Islands near Bayfield, WI.

Surprisingly, both actors weren’t interested and with the rise of hip hop music in the 90s, the script was rewritten for then young …

FlixChatter Review: Disney’s live-action ALADDIN (2019)

Can you believe it that the original Aladdin animated feature came out 27 years ago? To be honest, I barely remember it as I was more into the Princess movies growing up (esp. Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid). When they first announced they're working the live-action remake, I was skeptical, which wasn't helped at …

Guest Review: Collateral Beauty (2016)

Directed By: David Frankel Written By: Allan Loeb Runtime: 94 minutes After reviewing a couple unimpressive comedies last week (Office Christmas Party and Why Him?), I was ready for seeing something a little weightier, so I was excited to get the opportunity to see Collateral Beauty. I was a little nervous it would be overly-sentimental, …

FlixChatter Review: Suicide Squad (2016)

Not every year we get not one but two highly-anticipated DC superhero films where the hype is simply overwhelming. I personally have not been anticipating either movies, and I tried with all my might to avoid watching every damn clip/trailer/featurette, etc the studio releases practically every single week. Well, you already know how I feel …
