Frozen

By Jake Coyle | Associated Press Forty years after “Ghostbusters” and following a string of sequels that never measured up to the 1984 original — beginning all the way back with 1989’s “Ghostbusters II” — it’s fair to wonder, well, who else ought we to call? It may be time to, if not give up the ghost entirely, at least give a flip through the ol’ rolodex. But as the lackluster 2021 installment, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” showed, the half life of most film franchises…

Fans of Ghostbusters will find a lot to love about the latest film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. It continues the story of Ghostbusters: Afterlife in a way that makes both films better in tandem. It also, in a series first, depicts characters discussing the great implications of ghosts existing. It shows us where Ghostbusting could go in the future, and even features a friendship between human and ghost. This, along with the story of New York City facing its greatest supernatural threat yet, is very much in the mold of…

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire feels like the first real Ghostbusters sequel since 1989's Ghostbusters II, even though it isn’t. In between, we had 2016's Answer the Call, a controversial, largely unrelated entry. There was also 2021's Afterlife, a valiant, well-intentioned effort that had to simultaneously lay the groundwork for a new generation of Ghostbusters while also appealing to classic fans. Now though, with all those pieces in place, Frozen Empire hits the ground running, delivering on the promises of all its…

It also committed a particularly egregious act of digital necromancy, forcing the CGI-assisted return of the late Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler. Thankfully, there’s a limited…

The ice age of intellectual property dullness shivers on … and on. The franchise frostbite is setting in; the limbs of once decent films are turning black, but not being amputated. Now the Ghostbusters series is limping back with a new and pointless movie, this one featuring a ghost whose purpose is that it basically freezes stuff (like, say, Batman’s Mr Freeze). It is effectively Ghostbusters 4 – or Ghostbusters 5 if you count the (funny) all-female reboot from 2016, which this franchise clearly doesn’t; the women of…

When Ghostbusters: Afterlife ends, it really ends. Ghostbusters new and old defeat Gozer, we see the Ecto-1 driving to New York City, and that’s pretty much it. What exactly was next for the Spengler family we’d been following for an entire film? How did they feel having encountered the ghost version of Egon? We never find out.How Important Was it for Jason Reitman to be a Part of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire?The sequel, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, hits theaters this week and answers some of those questions, but not all…

The Ghostbusters franchise has never been completely free of scary moments, but the trailer for the new ice-cold installment Frozen Empire has parents worried about whether it’s safe to bring their kids to a screening of the blast-from-the-past reboot. Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Celeste O’Connor return for this sequel to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which sees the Spengler family join the original squad of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts at the iconic New York…

We’re just days out from the premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and so far we’ve been treated to a smattering of clues as to what the fifth film in the franchise might entail. The trailer arrived late last year, refamiliarizing us with the cast that includes Ghostbusters OGs like Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, and also introducing what might be the film’s villain in the so-called Death Chill.  Beyond that, we also know that Paul Rudd will reprise his role as Gary Grooberson, and that Frozen Empire will likely have a…
