Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review

You are not supposed to say the name “Beetlejuice” three times, otherwise he will appear. Someone must’ve said gone and said it because he’s back in theaters 36 years after we last saw him in 1988 in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” Michael Keaton reprises yet another one of the characters that made him the star that he is along with Winona Ryder, as Lydia Deetz, and Catherine O’Hara, as Delia Deetz, from the original. Also, Tim Burton returns to direct this sequel to the movie that pretty much got him the “Batman” job. Burton does again feature the afterlife oddities and general weirdness but amplifies it for today’s audience. It all starts with Lydia seeing Beetlejuice visions and needing to reunite with her daughter, Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega. Events soon lead them to the house from the first movie and all that lie within, including the title character, who hasn’t forgotten Lydia. However, there’s a ghostly figure, named Delores played by Monica Bellucci, who hasn’t forgotten about Beetlejuice. She’s on the hunt for her man and woe to any that get in her way. Tim Burton also brings in some new characters like Rory, played by Justin Theroux and Wolf Jackson played by Willem Dafoe. Will it haunt you forever if you don’t go see this at the theater? Check out this episode to find out that very thing. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” also stars Arthur Conti, Nick Kellington, Santiago Cabrera, Burn Gorman, Danny DeVito, Sami Slimane and Amy Nuttall.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire review

Apparently the Ghostbusters aren’t afraid of no ghosts or sequels. Forty years after the original Ghostbusters comes Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. We get the Ghostbusters that started it all minus the late, great Harold Ramis. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. Annie Potts is back as well. Then we also see the new characters introduced in 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife played by the likes of Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, McKenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard. In this sequel, all of them are back where it all started, New York City. This time a newly re-discovered ancient orb is the prison of an old evil that is desperately trying to get out. I think you can guess if it gets out or not. Can the Ghostbusters band together to defeat this entity that kills people by literally freezing people with fear? Also, they have to contend with an old nemesis from the original Ghostbusters that is still trying to take them down. Is it worth jumping in the car and driving to the theater to check this out? Watch this episode to find out! Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire also stars Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, Emily Alyn Lind, James Acaster, William Atherton, Shelley Williams, Chris Tummings and John Rothman.
