Maybe no one has ever asked for a movie about the famous colorful-haired figurines, much less a sequel. Nevertheless, not being satisfied with the surprise that was Trolls, DreamWorks manages to surpass itself with Trolls World Tour, which despite repeating the successful formula of its predecessor (basically a musical constructed with popular hits), also proposes a story that expands the franchise's universe in ingenious ways. It's all a pretext for colorful reinterpretations of famous songs, but accompanied by a very entertaining visual show and an important message about celebrating our differences as groups and individuals.
After three decades of "false starts" to create the long-awaited 'Ghostbusters III', and following the sad passing of one of the original actors, Harold Ramis, director Ivan Reitman decided not to direct the project, and put a new director in charge. The chosen one was Paul Feig ('Bridesmaids'), who opted not to continue the story, but to reinvent it with an ensemble cast of established comedians in the lead roles: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. Despite having been boycotted and battered by fans of the originals (justifiably or not), the 2016 'Ghostbusters' is a decent family entertainment, whose real sin is practically telling the same story (eccentric scientists decide to prove the existence of ghosts, and end up defending New York City from them). It's a fun movie that yes, feels unnecessary for those who have seen the original, but that can definitely work to introduce the franchise to younger fans.
