Review

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the fifth installment in the Ghostbusters franchise and a sequel to "Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

The backstory and motive of the villain are well-explained and interesting. This adds depth to the narrative.The movie mixes comedy and horror really well.It is also good to see old Ghostbusters. They are here for more than just a nostalgic purpose.The film expands on the Ghostbusters universe, showcasing more gadgets, ghosts, and even the methods of storing captured ghosts.

I really don't mind the family drama but the film crams too many characters and subplots into a two-hour runtime which doesn't work really well for me. Despite the abundance of new gadgets and ghosts, there are relatively few ghost-busting scenes. The ghost-busting sequences don't quite capture the same excitement for me as in previous movies.

My Screen Times Score - 6

A team of military-embedded journalists traveling from New York to Washington, D.C to interview the President before rebel factions attack the White House.

It is on the road trip that the film successfully shows us the war's impact on civilians and the harsh realities of life in a fragmented America as realistically as possible. The film also successfully shows us the terror and sacrifices journalists endure to get their stories. It showcases the dangers of their profession, especially during wartime

Atlas (2024) Movie Review

Plot Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a terrorist AI with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when the mission doesn't go as planned, her only hope of saving humanity from AI is to trust another AI. R eview An action packed, a new Netflix sci-fi movie starring Jennifer Lopez, "Atlas" explores familiar sci-fi territory with an AI gone rogue. There is nothing we haven't seen before. CGI is used extensively for world-building and action scenes, are adequate but not particularly thrilling. The alien world depicted often feels more like a video game environment than a fully realized cinematic universe. Movies explore if humans and AI could co-exist or not. The plot revolves around Lopez's character, Atlas Shepherd, who initially distrusts AI but gradually learns to trust it through her interactions with the suit's AI. Although I enjoy the conversation about the difference be
