Ghostbusters: One Of The Best Comedies Ever

Ghostbusters isn’t only one of the best comedies ever made but the film was influential in changing up the visual effects game. Ivan Reitman had broken onto the map as a director with Meatballs and shortly followed with Stripes. However, Ghostbusters is certainly the film that would change the game. It’s the film that gave us Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis). The Ectomobile! The keymaster and the gatekeeper! Ray Parker’s…

Ivan Reitman: Ghostbusters Filmmaker Dead at 75

The year 2022 continues to take away as Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ivan Reitman, a child of Holocaust survivors, is dead at the age of 75. Born in then-Komárno, Czechoslovakia, the Reitman family would move to Canada when Ivan was only four years old. His mother, Clara, survived Auschwitz while his father, Leslie, was an underground resistance fighter. Reitman married Geneviève Robert in 1976 and was the father of Jason, Catherine, and Caroline Reitman. In 2009, Canada would…

Concussion: A Filtered Quest for the NFL’s Truth

Concussion focuses on Dr. Bennet Omalu, who first discovered CTE in retired NFL players, and his quest to tell the truth. I happened to notice that the film was airing on TV over Super Bowl weekend. Dysphoria was so bad in late 2015 that it was one of many films that I saw but didn’t review. As such, there’s no better time to watch it than the hours leading up to tonight’s kickoff. CTE is…

They Came Together Sends Up the Rom-Com

David Wain’s 2014 film, They Came Together, is a brilliant satire of one of cinema’s most beloved film genres, the romantic comedy. Screenwriters Michael Showalter and David Wain turn to The Shop Around the Corner and You’ve Got Mail as the core basis of their romantic comedy satire. But aside from this, they really make the film their own while running a tight 83 minutes. Like any rom-com, New York is a character in and…

Marry Me Has A Ludicrous Rom-Com Premise

Marry Me depends 100% on buying into the completely ludicrous idea that a musical superstar will impulsively accept a proposal from a math teacher. When you’ve seen one rom-com, you’ve seen them all. That’s just the way it goes with this genre. The trick of the trade is to try and freshen it up somehow. It doesn’t matter who the stars are unless you have a script that catches you’re eye. We’re supposed to believe…

Jurassic World Dominion Trailer Makes Debut

Universal Pictures has released the Jurassic World Dominion trailer four months to the date before the Colin Trevorrow film is released. After stepping away from the director’s chair for Fallen Kingdom, Trevorrow is back to helm the epic conclusion to the Jurassic era. A number of dinosaurs make their return but, as the late John Hammond says in the opening narration, life has found a way. Featured dinosaurs in the trailer include Parasaurolophus and Therizinosaurus.…

Blacklight: Liam Neeson Film Is Laughably Bad

Blacklight is so laughably bad that perhaps the film would be better off going direct to VOD than play as a theatrical exclusive. It is a bad sign when an action film starring Liam Neeson does not have a theatrical press screening. It is never a good sign when action films are only available via links. My experience with this film is not a good one. After ten minutes of staring at the buffering circle of…
