Hildy Good (Sigourney Weaver), a realtor in an idyllic New England town, whose wickedly funny tongue and seeming success mask her life’s one dark truth: She enjoys her wine a bit too much. But Hildy’s good at keeping it together — until, that is, a rekindled romance with high school flame Frank Getchell (Kevin Kline) sets in motion a chain of events that forces a decades-in-the-making confrontation with Hildy’s buried past.

after the credits
We see a short clip from the original film where Janine (Annie Potts) gives Egon (Harold Ramis) her lucky coin before the climactic battle. Egon says that he might not make it and woulnd’t she need it? Janine replies saying that she has another one. The scene continues in the present with Janine holding onto the coin while talking with Winston (Ernie Hudson) about his career after the Ghostbusters business slowed to a crawl. He’s a very successful businessman now, but he states that he’ll always be a Ghostbuster. The scene continues in the old firehouse that serves as the Ghostbusters headquarters, with Winston opening the garage door and guiding in the beat-up Ecto-1 car. The scene ends with a shot of the blinking energy button on the panel of the ghost containment system. Then a new Ghostbusters logo appears with a Stay-Puft marshmallow figure in the no-ghost sign.

What did you think of this film?

New York in the 90s: After leaving graduate school to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, Joanna (Margaret Qualley) gets hired as an assistant to Margaret (Sigourney Weaver), the stoic and old-fashioned literary agent of J. D. Salinger. Fluctuating between poverty and glamour, she spends her days in a plush, wood-panelled office – where dictaphones and typewriters still reign and agents doze off after three-martini lunches – and her nights in a sink-less Brooklyn apartment with her socialist boyfriend. Joanna’s main task is processing Salinger’s voluminous fan mail, but as she reads the heart-wrenching letters from around the world, she becomes reluctant to send the agency’s impersonal standard letter and impulsively begins personalizing the responses. The results are both humorous and moving, as Joanna, while using the great writer’s voice, begins to discover her own.

What did you think of this film?
A visually spectacular and unabashedly emotional drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) is dealing with far more than other boys his age. His beloved and devoted mother (Felicity Jones) is ill. He has little in common with his imperious grandmother (Sigourney Weaver). His father (Toby Kebbell) has resettled thousands of miles away. But Conor finds a most unlikely ally when the Monster (portrayed by Liam Neeson in performance-capture and voiceover) appears at his bedroom window one night. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth that powerfully fuses imagination and reality.
