GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE Trailer Has A Serious Stranger Things Vibe & It’ll Probably Anger Old White Guys

This second trailer for Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is pretty good – but it’s not great. It’s lacking a stand-out moment – oomph! They really seem to be leaning heavily on the Stranger Things vibe here (the [...]

Notebook Reviews: ALIEN RESURRECTION

Jean-Pierre Jeunet – 1997 Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien Resurrection is a solid entry into the Alien franchise. It’s better than Alien 3, but nowhere near as good as Alien or Aliens. The cast is good and they all do good work, but [...]
