Matt writes: A true icon of the silver screen, Ray Liotta, died on May 26th at age 67, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy of richly textured performances in both film and television. Though he never received an Oscar nomination, his co-stars who did benefitted immensely from acting opposite him. That is certainly true of Joe Pesci, whose brilliant Oscar-winning turn in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" was enhanced immeasurably by the expressions of Liotta during their infamous restaurant scene.

Matt writes: This past weekend, we lost the beloved comedy director Ivan Reitman, who passed away on February 12th at age 75. His death makes the palpable sense of loss in his son's recent blockbuster, "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," feel all the more poignant.
