If you weren’t one of the kajillion folks who zipped into thier flightsuits and grabbed their proton packs to take in the highly-anticipated (gross understatement) Ghostbusters: Afterlife, this article is not for you! If you were giggling, gasping and squeaking with delight, surrounded by a crowd, young and old, sporting their vintage ‘Who Ya Gonna Call?’ threadbare t-shirts or those who were just starting to break their’s in, then dive on in; the ectoplasm is fine!...

It’s that time of year when the Golden Raspberry Awards (otherwise known as the Razzies) announce its nominations for the worst of cinema’s efforts of the last year. The Oscars’ ugly cousin often faces controversy and backlash for its mean-spiritedness, and there have been recent calls for it to end, per Independent, despite it only intending to exist in the name of satire and good fun. This year’s nominations see Blonde, Good Mourning, and Pinocchio receiving the most nominations — with beloved actor Tom Hanks coming out particularly badly....

Zack Snyder’s production of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller (who also helped produce the film) was a massive hit, grossing $456 million on a $60 million budget and tapping into a burgeoning generation of comic book fans (and angry boys and men) two years before the MCU. At the time (2006), many people loved the film, with audiences adoring its blood-soaked action and critics like Sight and Sound calling it, “an evolution in ‘virtual’ cinema....

The beauty of Hollywood is its capacity for international talent to find work in its industry. British-born directors are only one example of filmmakers who have found success at home and in Hollywood. Indeed, the argument could be made that much of American popular cinema’s growth can be attributed to the work or involvement of British directors. Filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, and David Lean (who is one of the most Oscar-nominated directors ever) have all crossed the pond and established themselves as some of the best directors Hollywood has had to offer....

Horror comedies have been beloved for decades for their smart mixture of creepy moments, dark comedy, silly spoofs, and frightening moments. Typically, horror comedies will take on and make fun of horror clichés that are common and recognizable in regular horror movies. Some familiar examples of horror comedies are Shaun of the Dead and The Cabin in the Woods. The genre has been popular for a long time, with Bruce G....

The name Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr. isn’t one that automatically leaps out as possessing any kind of public or cultural significance.

Although directors like Bong Joon-ho and Park Chan-wook only recently became known to Western audiences, South Korean cinema was in its golden age during the 2000s. The late 1990s was when many of its most prominent directors, like Bong, Park, and auteur Lee Chang-dong, came of age and were active in the film industry, but it was the decade after that these directors truly hit their stride. While Parasite won many Oscars and achieved global acclaim, it’s important to note that the Korean government had a blacklist with 10,000 names that included directors like Bong, Park, and Lee....
