Director Steven Soderbergh and star/producer Channing Tatum’s semi-biographical infectiously shlocky male stripper fest Magic Mike may have been a big hit at the box office (I’m guessing they were paid in a mountain of sodden $1 bills) but there were still lots of people – I’m looking at you, fellow hetero males – who refused to watch a bunch of …

Back in 2011, nobody expected what looked like a quick cash-in prequel to the classic Planet of the Apes franchise to be any good, especially one directed by somebody we’ve never heard of.

Thank you, it looks like …

I’m not against the idea of an all-female Ghostbusters film. I’m plenty certain that director Paul Feig and his cast can pull something off.
