There Is An Afterlife, for the Child in Us


GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE

COMEDY/ADVENTURE/FANTASY

PLOT:  Callie Spengler, (Egon Spengler’s daughter) is a single mom who has to leave the big city to a small town which carries an evil secret.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  They pay homage to the original Ghostbusters and it is nothing short of delightful.  The cast is great too; Carrie Coon as Callie is funny  and her kids McKenna Grace as Phoebe, a nerdy but very smart girl and Finn Wolfhard as Trevor who is young, funny and likes  a pretty female in the town.   Logan Kim as Podcast and his name fits him for he has a mike and camera always ready.  The cameos are fantastic too.  Near the end is fantastic! Stay for the mid-credits.

WHAT IS WRONG:  It is a slow burn but it is telling you the plot and how it all comes together.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  If you are a fan of Ghostbusters or the 80s-OH YES!  This is the Ghostbusters#3!


CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG

COMEDY/ADVENTURE/FANTASY 

PLOT:  The movie version of the children book series.  Emily (Darby Camp), a 12 year old girl is having problems adjusting to school and her mom Maggie (Sienna Guillory ,Resident Evil) is never around. Emily’s wacky brother Casey (Jack Whitehall) babysits while she is on a business trip.  She meets Norman Bridewell (John Cleese, a magical animal rescuer who saved Clifford while small.  Emily wants the dog but with a series of events she gets the dog and the much love she gives is why Clifford  becomes very huge. Zac Tieran,(Tony Hale) an ambitious owner of a genetic company wants to take Clifford for experiments why he got so large so he can feed the world.

WHAT IS RIGHT:   How can you go wrong about a young girl and a cute big puppy?  It is adorable.  The cast is great.

WHAT IS WRONG:  It is predictable but still fun to watch.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  Yes!  If you like cuteness, comedy and love saves the day. Great for kids and adults.
