Netflix rom-coms don’t have a good track record, so I was a bit skeptical about this one. However, after a few friends said it was pretty good, my curiosity got the better of me. The blind-connection premise immediately reminds me of Nora Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail, one of my favorite rom-coms ever. So I appreciate …

FlixChatter Review: Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (2026) – Wish I had given this unfunny ‘The Wizard of Oz’ spoof a hard pass
I've been a film critic for more than ten years, and there are still plenty of filmmakers I'm not really acquainted with. One of those is David Wain, who’s famous for his bizarre and surreal comedies like Wet Hot American Summer, They Came Together, and Role Models. I haven't watched any of those, but after …
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.

It's that time of the year again folks! Yep, it's the time when I basically made Showplace ICON at the West End as my second home for the next eleven days. And for the eighth year in a row, Twin Cities Film Fest always opens up with a bang! This year we've got such a …
Guest Review: Why Him? (2016)
After being underwhelmed by the last holiday comedy I reviewed (Office Christmas Party), I was not particularly enthusiastic about seeing another one- especially one written by Jonah Hill and starring James Franco. Not that they aren’t both talented, but the majority of their collaborations have been stoner comedies, which have never really been my thing. …
