  2024 | PG-13 | 115 mins | Directed by Gil Kenan The latest entry in the Ghostbusters franchise is here. Frozen Empire takes the franchise back to the firehouse in New York City as we follow the Spengler clan taking part in their new roles as Ghostbusters. A mysterious artifact is brought out for the first time in almost 100 years, and it contains a new threat that could possibly cause a new ice age. With the help of some friends and the original Ghostbusters, our heroes will stop at nothing to take down this new evil. First and foremost, it is great to have this cast back together. Ghostbusters: Afterlife set up a great family dynamic and it continues here in Frozen Empire. Adding in the character of Gary (Paul Rudd) as more of stepdad this time around adds even more to the dynamic. The biggest highlight of the movie is the cast of characters. Everyone from the OG cast to the newer crew, all put in great performances, and they play off of one another quite well. From start to fin...

  2024. R. 113 mins. Directed by Peter Farrelly Three childhood best friends; Dean (Zac Efron), JT (Andrew Santino) and Wes (Jermaine Fowler) pull a prank on Halloween that doesn't go as planned. To get out of trouble they create an imaginary kid named Ricky Stanicky that takes the fall for their wrongdoings.

Director Peter Farrelly has had a long history of making comedies. Some have been hilarious, like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, while others have missed the mark entirely, like The Heartbreak Kid and Dumber and Dumber To. Ricky Stanicky falls somew...

2024. R. 107 mins. Directed by Johan Renck Spaceman is the latest Netflix vehicle starring Adam Sandler. It is also another foray into the dramatic side of acting for the comedian. Whenever Sandler decides to stray away from his comfort zone, it usually means we're in for a good performance. Whether it's Punch Drunk-Love, Reign Over Me or Uncut Gems, when Sandler tries, he can put out a really great performance. In Spaceman, this is no different. We get another truly great performance from Adam Sandler. Unfortunately, it's a shame that the rest of the movie doesn't stack up the same way. Jakub (Adam Sandler) is halfway through his solo mission on the edge of the solar system. When he decided to go on this mission he also decided that he would be leaving his wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan), who is also pregnant with their child. While soaring through space Jakub continually thinks about the state of his marriage as he and Lenka were having their fair share of problems when h...
