Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson Says “Everybody’s In” For New Movie
A few days ago we shared the first teaser for the new Ghostbusters movie. Directed by Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman who directed the first two films, this movie will completely bypass the 2016 bomb. The big question has been will the original cast be returning? According to UK’s Daily Mail, all three surviving Ghostbusters will be back which they learned during an interview with Ernie Hudson, who starred as Winston in the first two films. After reminiscing about his friendship with Harold Ramis, who played Egon, Hudson said: “I miss [Ramis], but his spirit is there.” He continued, “But Ivan Reitman is there and everybody is in.” “Now whether the studio will do it, I’m the guy who sits by the phone and waits for the call. So if they call, I’ll answer. If not, I’ve got other stuff that I’m doing.” Dan Aykroyd teased last year that “there is a possibility of a reunion with the three

Short Film Review: Shovel (2018)
A little girl (Aeona Cruz) skips merrily on her way among the flowers while a blood soaked brute of a man (Doug Newville…who also wrote the short) with one hell of an angry lookin’ shovel does the devil’s business on anyone unlucky enough to find themselves in his way. These disparate characters of course collide; and I guarantee more than one of you lot will dig the outcome! Running a compact six minutes, Shovel is one hell of a fine fright flick…even if it is bite-sized. The pace is brisk, the story is on point, and the cinematography is slicker than shit through a ghoulish goose’s ass…all of which will doubtless please horror hounds (though the solid make-up and effects won’t hurt things either); and in my opinion ol’ Shovel (that’s the name of the aforementioned monster man as well as the film) has what it takes to be a full-on slasher heartthrob like his closest antecedent Leatherface (this yarn
