REVIEW – GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is, you will forgive the expression, kind of a stiff. (Frozen stiff.) I didn’t find the movie particularly funny or scary, though Patton Oswalt was pretty good. I didn’t really care for any of the characters. Watch it when it’s free streaming and save some bucks.

REVIEW – ABIGAIL (2024)
Can’t say too much about Abigail (spoilers), but the 14-year-old girl in the titular role is extremely good. The movie has a twist that’s revealed fairly early, but I can’t reveal it in the excerpt. I enjoyed it, and the effects are pretty “effective.”

Noah Chinn Reviews: Dodger by Terry Pratchett
