Who you gonna call?
I am at the cinema to see Ghostbusters Afterlife. I recognise someone. Robin who used to work at the same club as me and a few friends. He used to come out drinking with a group of us. There was a bit of chatter amongst his group. Especially during the trailers. Two of the people were disabled so I wasn't overly annoyed. There was hardly anyone in the theatre as it was a Monday. I had this Ice Burst and a large Popcorn which I barely finished. Plenty of the rightwingers were trashing the 2016 reboot. It did pay homage to the original films. It was a good film. This film is a direct sequel to the originals. Paying homage to them and as a tribute to Harold Ramis. Starts of in a small town. Looking at the surrounding scenery it adds to the creepy factor. There would be injury and death to humans within the world of Ghostbusters. It begins with Egon Spengler running out of the mines. Something is after him. He had been living out here experimenting and trying to prevent an apocalypse. As we know that he died and his farm was left to his daughter and two children. All the equipment is there including the car. I was expecting alot judging by the trailer. McKenna Grace steals the scene as Pheobe. Definitely my favourite character. She is endearing. Has the look and mannerisms of Egon. She gets to start school. Her brother Trevor is working at a diner and he has a thing for the girl there. Finn Wolfhard is in this. He is a regular on Stranger Things where he got to dress up as a Ghostbuster in a Halloween episode and not forgetting Stephen King's IT. A young lad named Podcast is similar to Ray. Of course the original cast are present. I noticed that each young character represented the old cast in a way. Carrie Coons is the mother. Paul Rudd is the science teacher. You can see the reviews, discussion and trivia for unanswered questions. There is a major threat emerging from the mines. I would have liked to have seen a new villain. It does revisit old ones and some characters you won't see in this. Maybe a few more ghosts too. Jason Reitman is the director, writer and producer. Also the son of Ivan that was behind the original film. Good soundtrack. You will hear some familiar themes. McKenna sings one of the end credit songs. Two are two end credits scenes. Good special effects and acting. This is a nostalgia trip for the children of the 80s like myself. Also should bring in new fans. You might also like Super 8, The Goonies, E.T, Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, Eerie Indiana, Indiana Jones, Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity, IT, The X-files, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Goosebumps, Jumanji. I definitely recommend that you check out the film. Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Logan Kim, Annie Potts, Celeste O'Connor, Bokeem Woodbine. Olivia Wilde, JK Simmons, Josh Gad are amongst the cast.

Silence is golden
I watched The Silence. Based on a novel by Tim Lebbon. It will have comparisons to A Quiet Place. Neither creator would have known about the other. A horror film. These creatures called Vesps have been living underground and evolving. Because of some expedition they are freed. They can't see and track their prey via sound. Looking like pterodactyls. There is a teenage girl who is deaf. She has her mum and dad, gran and little brother. There is an Uncle Glenn who is a family friend. Obviously you get some cult like group in the apocalypse films. The father doesn't have to use sign language in some scenes. Need to keep it consistent. A few characters are liabilities. The family left their town and kept on moving. Some interesting moments. I saw it on Netflix. Cast Kiernan Shipka; Stanley Tucci; Miranda Otto; John Corbett.

Level up
I have just started watching The Flash season 8. Central City. A lot of people are levelling up. Grant Gustin, Candace Patton and the rest are back. There were mixed reviews regarding last season. I liked it. Anyhow a new big bad has entered the scene. Despero is his name. A shape-shifting alien. He came from the future. He believes that Barry will cause the apocalypse. Team Flash will stop him whatever it takes. Ray Palmer has visited as there is a convention on. Chester acts as his liaison. The business run by Iris is much bigger. Allegra is promoted. I remember that the actor playing Despero was Van Gogh in Doctor Who. Showing on the Cwtv. Take a look at some reaction channels such as Married2ThaReal, Blind Wave, Legends Of Podcasting. The theme tune has changed slightly. Kramer is still on the force. However it is on friendlier terms. This is a five part crossover event to kick things off.

Our house
I have finally watched The Night House. A horror movie starring Rebecca Hall. It was on DisneyPlus surprisingly. A teacher named Beth has lost her husband to suicide. She tries to carry on as best as she can. There is her neighbour and best friend that are featured a fair bit. Some strange things start happening around the home. You would wonder if she is going crazy or if the ghost of her husband has come for her. Good acting and effects. Some creepy moments which I won't spoil. I will look at discussions and reviews. You might like the soundtrack.

Who is in control?
Possessor is by Brandon Cronenberg. A scifi horror. His father would be proud. Slow paced. Andrea Riseborough plays an assassin named Tasya Vos working for this organisation. The equipment that they use allows the participant to possess the host's body. Carry out an assassination and leave no trace. I was hoping that I would see multiple hosts. Jennifer Jason Leigh is her boss. There is plenty of graphic violence, sex and nudity. Some nice cock, tits and pussy on show. It will shock some audiences. You might like the soundtrack. I am left asking a few questions. Anyhow the main job is this man named Colin Tate. A former drug dealer now working for a company. His girlfriend is rich. Her father played by Sean Bean is the ceo. As always someone has to be killed. The host isn't willing to give up control. You may have also see Upgrade, Quantum Leap, Self/Less.
Tuppence Middleton and Christopher Abbott also star.

On Disney+ is Marvel's Hawkeye. Starts of in 2012 when the battle of New York takes place. Kate Bishop is at home with her mother. Her was probably out. There is death and destruction everywhere. During the opening credits you see what she does growing up. I like the theme tune. You might like the soundtrack. It is an origin story for Kate Bishop and a solo outing for Clint Barton. During Christmas. Clint is with the family watching Rogers the musical. The song is kind of good. Kate finding out her mother is engaged. She is suspicious of the fiance and an associate. During a charity event this Russian gang attacks. Clint is wearing a hearing aid. Nice special effects. Good cast of actors. I noticed the Wandavision theme play as this one eyed dog shows up. Clint has now got involved and must protect Kate. They have nods to the previous films. Amongst the cast are Hailee Steinfield, Florence Pugh, Jeremy Reener, Vera Farmiga.
