How Ghostbusters: Afterlife Brought Ray’s Occult Book Shop Back To Life Columbia Pictures By Joshua Meyer/May 28, 2022 11:55 am EST Although the bulk of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is set in a fictional Oklahoma town, the movie at one point returns to a familiar location from “Ghostbusters II”: namely, Ray’s Occult Books in Manhattan. As its name implies, this is the shop owned by Dan Aykroyd’s character, Ray Stantz. After chasing the metal-eating ghost Muncher through the streets of Summerville, Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and her young friends land themselves in jail for tearing up the town with stray proton pack blasts from the gunner’s seat of the Ghostbusters’ old Ecto-1 car....

Starz By Vanessa Armstrong/May 1, 2022 10:00 pm EST Prepare to be disappointed if you were expecting any resolution at the end of this season of “Outlander.” Season 6’s eighth and final episode, “I Am Not Alone,” doesn’t tie up, well, anything.

Movies Like The Shawshank Redemption You Really Need To See Columbia Pictures By Liam Gaughan/Dec. 22, 2021 11:31 am EST “The Shawshank Redemption” is one of the greatest films of all time, and while the film was critically embraced upon its initial release in 1994, it has continued to bring in fans in the years following its release. “The Shawshank Redemption” is a novelty in that it wasn’t initially a box office success, and famously lost the Academy Award for best picture to the wildly successful “Forrest Gump....

‘Mirror, Mirror’ Paramount The fourth episode of the second season of “Star Trek” was called “Mirror, Mirror.” It’s one of the better-known episodes of the show, familiar to many who are otherwise unfamiliar with “Star Trek.” In the episode, Kirk (William Shatner), Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) transport through a spatial storm and find themselves on a parallel version of the Enterprise where assassination is common, and the Federation is an Imperial force dedicated to violence and conquest....

Conversely, Mark outside of Lumon’s walls has no knowledge of his “innie’s” life....

That Sopranos Super Bowl Commercial Was Made With The Help Of The Show’s Creator Chevy By Ben F. Silverio/Feb. 13, 2022 8:56 pm EST The Super Bowl has a long history of featuring big budget commercials that are also “sequels” or playful nods to beloved shows and movies. Several years ago, Honda brought in Matthew Broderick for a “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”-themed spot. I also recall Kelsey Grammar reprising his role as the former Cheers regular and beloved radio personality Dr....

Will There Be A Sequel To Inception? Here’s What We Know Warner Bros. By Lyvie Scott/Dec. 30, 2021 4:30 pm EST Christopher Nolan’s mind-melting work will forever live rent-free in the minds of his fans. Since breaking onto the scene with “Memento” in 2000, the director has pushed the boundaries of space, time, and the human condition. His cerebral, immersive worlds have only grown more complex and confounding as the years pass, but few of his films have made such an unshakable impression as “Inception....

You Are Not My Mother Star Hazel Doupe Celebrates Halloween’s Irish Roots [Interview] Magnolia Pictures By Jack Giroux/March 24, 2022 4:27 pm EST Hazel Doupe is in practically every scene in “I Am Not Your Mother.” Kate Dolan’s feature directorial debut is a horror movie, yes, but it’s also a coming of age story centering on a girl named Char dealing with issues at home. There is a lot of weight on Char’s shoulders, and Doupe shows that internal discomfort when she’s on screen, whether she’s wandering the streets of Dublin or wondering what’s happening with her mother (played by Carolyn Bracken)....

Little Woods Neon This may not be a horror movie, but if you liked Nia DaCosta’s “Candyman” then you need to watch her 2019 directorial debut, “Little Woods.” The film stars Tessa Thompson as Ollie, a woman caught smuggling pills over the border to help care for her ailing mother. But when her mother dies, Ollie’s estranged sister Deb (Lily James) appears at her front door with a little boy — and another on the way....

4 Hours of Noir-Tinted Revelations? Warner Bros. As a film’s runtime is no yardstick for one to measure its artistic merit, it is impossible to gauge what the four-hour cut of “The Batman” constitutes, and how it would potentially compare to the 175-minute theatrical release. If one were to compare it with other pieces of media (strictly feature films) featuring Batman, “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” emerges as an obvious comparison, running infamously at 242 minutes, along with Snyder’s Ultimate Cut of “Batman v....
