Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Not as good as I would've hoped.
I really should've given this a lower rating, just to balance out the rating that's obviously skewed by fanboy haters of Ghostbusters 2016. But it is what it is. And that's a 6 out 10.
My problems with this are simple and straightforward. The first half of the movie is boring as hell, and does nothing but explain to the audience all the "Ghostbusters" stuff we're already familiar with. The second half is better, but when the "shtf," it's nowhere near as good as the climax of any of the previous movies, and the ghosts just really aren't there or doing very much of anything to the town and it's people.
Small ***SPOILER ALERT!!***:
There's a scene in a Wal-Mart where it seems like literally every single item seems to be stocked (I know, this is just a regular movie thing), and there is literally not one other single person to be seen AT ALL. No employees, no other shoppers, nothing but the one movie character doing this utterly worthless scene for absolutely no reason at all. And upon his exit, there's also not a single other vehicle in the parking lot.
So yeah, that's that.
And now I'm just gonna come out and say it. It wasn't as good as Ghostbusters 2016. At least that movie had me laughing. 2016 was nowhere near as good as the originals, and I won't be adding it to my collection. But I won't be adding Afterlife, either.
Not a bad movie, but still a major letdown. If they do more (after-credits scene hints at sequel), maybe they'll be better. *shrugs*
Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist (1995)
One of My Favorite Shows of All Time
I never really got into this series when it originally aired, but I decided to check it out more thoroughly when I first got my Netflix membership, back when they mostly just mailed you DVDs. I now own the entire series, and it is seriously probably my very favorite show of all time. I've definitely watched it more than any other show, and something that's kind of odd for a comedy, it's still just as funny with every single re-watch. I literally never get tired of it, and I laugh just as much every time. I may go a little while without watching it, but when I do, I'll re-watch the entire series from beginning to end, usually one episode every night before bed. So many great comedians on here, and a lot of them before they were really big, if I'm not mistaken. Aside from the comedians, just the general comedy of the show and its characters is top-notch. Some of the best comedy writing ever! My favorite character is the video store clerk, Todd, voiced by comedian Todd Barry. And one of the main characters, Dr. Katz's son, Ben, is voiced by Jon Benjamin, in what was probably his first gig, and arguably some of the funniest stuff he's ever done. Great show all around!
Synchronic (2019)
Could've been better, wasted concept...
Here's all I have to say. Not bad, but it's my least favorite film these directors have done so far.
