  Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by Chris 19 Nov 2021

  This is such a hard film for me to review because I’ve been a Ghostbusters fan since I was in footie pjs. My mom has pictures of me in full costume with my Real GB proton pack for heavens sake. 

  That “disclaimer” out of the way I will say that Afterlife is the sequel film I’ve wanted since 1989 when the credits rolled on part 2. Jason Reitman was able to tap into the nostalgia big time, his growing up…

  Feels like a standard Insidious/Conjuring style horror thriller for much of its runtime and then the big twist which I won’t spoil turns the final 20 minutes into one of the most Bat shit crazy action horror climaxes I’ve seen in years. It’s the Terminator funneled through a creature feature…

  The Last Mercenary 2021

  ★ Watched by Chris 31 Jul 2021

  I don’t know where to begin. It’s marketed as the next big JCVD action film but it’s a comedy and not a good one. Like at all. Comedy is subjective so take my review for what you will. 

  I didn’t laugh once for the first hour plus. The jokes fall flat and in some cases are dated (bad guy who quotes Scarface) and/or kind of offensive (prison rape, JCVD in drag giving “forced oral sex”). I didn’t laugh once for…
