REVIEW - Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Top Story - November 2021.
Well then, it's finally here. Ghostbusters: Afterlife (or Ghostbusters: Legacy in some regions). I saw it on opening night (three evenings ago) but have taken a little while to collect my thoughts. As some of you might have noticed over the years, I'm rather into Ghostbusters, the film and the whole franchise. Ghostbusters II is great, sorely underrated, I thoroughly enjoyed the 2016 reboot (these days referred to as Answer the Call) and am still a bit annoyed the fan backlash damaged its performance so much that it didn't get a sequel. A third movie of any kind seemed unlikely for years, and at least the reboot made it clear there was still an appetite for the film. Finally we get a third instalment of the original continuity and... I liked it. I didn't love it. But I liked it.

Movies that Make the Indoors Look Appealing!
We’ve all spent lots of time indoors over the last couple of years… It was unbelievably bizarre, in unprecedented ways! Blockbusters were depressingly pushed back, sport halted, and holidays outlawed. So, to make previous proceedings seem somewhat less desolate and disheartening, here are 8 movies which remind us that, mercifully, you can’t get ambushed by a bear, mangled into permanent disfigurement by a plummeting boulder or hunted by bloodthirsty wolves from the safety of your home! Maybe, we didn’t miss going anyway?

Fictional Leaders You May Or May Not Want in Charge!
Leading is not straightforward. With politics a more estranging and toxic subject than ever, pummelling actual figureheads can become increasingly tedious, even if momentarily satisfying. So, let’s consider which fictional personas we’d like our own commanders to duplicate! After all, some fabricated leaders have to deal with the most atrocious and chilling tribulations imaginable – assassination attempts, impending destruction and political infidelity and deceit. How they deal with these incidents could well show our own people in power a thing or two, or perhaps more plausibly, demonstrate exactly how not to do it!

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Winter Light" (1963)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Movie Review: 'Ghostbusters Afterlife' Does Nostalgia Right
I have, in the past, been the first to call out Hollywood studios for churning out nostalgia like so much microwaved, reheated, dinners, the kinds you forgot in the back of the fridge until its stench was impossible to deny. Coming 2 America is a great example of a bankrupt, desperate cash grab that plays like 3 day old leftovers. Now, I am no less susceptible to nostalgia than you are dear reader, but given that I am subjected to far more of Hollywood’s laziest rehashing than the average movie-goer, I’m in a position to be more judgmental than most.
