Halloween Kills Trailer After the events of “Halloween” left Laurie Strode with the (sadly mistaken) impression that Michael Myers had finally been dispatched once and for all, “Halloween Kills” picks up immediately after the action on that fateful Halloween night. Spoiler alert: the masked villain not only survived the fiery inferno that consumed Laurie’s home, but he’s now angrier and more vengeance-driven than ever. /Film’s Marshall Shaffer reviewed the film earlier this month when it hit the Venice Film Festival and showed that there’s still plenty more juice to wring out of the franchise, calling it a departure “…from the formula to exciting and energizing effect....

Ping Pong Play Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/July 15, 2008 5:52 am EST I never planned on seeing Ping Pong Playa, but it became one of those films that I heard people talking about in between sleeping, screening and eating last year at the Toronto Film Festival. I caught a screening near the end of the festival, purely because there was nothing else playing at the time that interested me. In my review I described Jessica Yu’s low budget indie sports comedy as “Karate Kid meets Bad News Bears but with Ping Pong”....

The Real-Life Moment That Inspired Ghostbusters: Afterlife Sony Pictures By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 30, 2021 10:54 am EST “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is in theaters now, but it’s been a long road to get there. Aside from being delayed nearly a year and a half due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s been over 30 years since the original “Ghostbusters” franchise has been touched. Aside from passing the torch to a new generation of younger Ghostbusters, the sequel also passed the torch from franchise filmmaker Ivan Reitman to his son, “Juno” and “Up in the Air” director Jason Reitman....
