It will be difficult to review Sony’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and keep it spoiler-free. A lot of the best beats are, as expected, direct nods to the original film that you definitely want to experience on your own terms. Especially if you are a die-hard ‘buster, who sure seem to be the target audience here. Written and directed by Jason Riteman, son of original “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Riteman, “Afterlife” straddles that line of fan service and nostalgia pretty well, honestly. Instead of constantly pointing to something “LOOK, IT’S THAT THING FROM THAT MOVIE!,” the throwbacks do feel organic.If you’ve seen the…

It’s a Life Day miracle, as Dark Horse Comics has announced a fan-favorite title returning to their funny papers. Star Wars titles will once again be published under their banner! Dark Horse will share the publishing rights with Marvel Comics. Marvel gained rights to the franchise far, far away when Disney purchased Lucasfilm back in 2014. IDW has also had Star Wars titles under their belt, but they focused mainly on the new High Republic titles. Founder and CEO of Dark Horse Comics Mike Richardson said of the news: “Dark Horse Comics has a rich history publishing Star Wars comics and graphic…

We’ve actually been looking forward to seeing “Pam & Tommy,” a project starring Sebastian Stan and Lily James as Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson Lee, respectively. It’s so strange, honestly, that someone would want to put this moment of the couple’s lives onto screen. Following the time directly following the unauthorized and unwanted release of the couple’s sex tape, this mini series will explore a lot of what happened to Pam and Tommy in the aftermath. The thing we’re the most interested in here is that Craig Gillespie ( “I, Tonya,” “Cruella”) wrote and directed this project. The rest of…

We are delighted to report that the National Geographic documentary “Becoming Cousteau” has found its streaming home! The intimate look at the famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau will hit Disney+ later this month. This is the trailer first released for the project back in September- “Jacques Cousteau was an adventurer and inventor who became a passionate environmentalist later in life” director Liz Garbus said of the project. “He was not born a protector of the seas — it was something he grew to appreciate as he witnessed  the undersea world changing before his very own eyes. I hope Cousteau’s incredibly entertaining,…

After MANY months of teases and waiting, yesterday fans were treated to a brand new trailer for Sony Pictures’ upcoming “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Perhaps one of the most anticipated films in the Spider-Verse (other than, you know, “Into the Spider-Verse 2”), this film has a little bit of everything.So, please enjoy this gallery of images taken from the official trailer, so we can dive into some details… We knew, as teased in recent Marvel Studios projects, that the multiverse was something on the way. Heck, the Doctor Strange sequel even has it right there in the title, “Doctor Strange…

The news was announced along with two other casting confirmations, Lim Kay Siu will play Gyatso, and Ken Leung will play Commander Zhao!

We don’t have a likely release date yet, but filming is expected to kick off soon in a new, custom-built facility using some of the…

It’s been a hell of a ride for “The Expanse.” Based on the sci-fi novels by James S.A. Corey (Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), the series originally called the SYFY Channel home. After three seasons, SYFY pulled the plug on the fan-favorite. It was actually pulling in solid numbers, especially for a genre show. Amazon eventually swooped in and saved it, much to the joy of the cast, crew, and fans. The announcement was actually made by former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos during a panel at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference. Despite some…messy…former cast member issues…”The Expanse” has remained a popular…

Trying to think of how to review something you’ve been a fan of, looking forward to, and are ultimately baffled by is difficult. That’s not to say Amazon Prime Video’s “Wheel of Time” series is bad, because it isn’t. What it is though is…complicated. If you are not a reader of the books, much of what you’ll see on screen won’t make sense. A lot of it will, though. Familiar archetypes, prevalent in fantasy and epic storytelling are universal. The land has a prophecy of a destructive savior, and a group of powerful women are hell bent on finding said…
