Review of Ghostbusters (DVD)

...at the same time as Ghostbusters are up and running, Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) notices some strange goings on in her apartment and, after seeing the television commercial, decides there is only one question on her mind; WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Ghostbusters are soon at her apartment and discover that there is some sort of monster living in her fridge and the film continues as Zuul (the monster) attempts to begin his reign of terror on New York City ...
...Written by Aykroyd and Ramis, Ghostbusters is a brilliant film that is essentially a comedy which specific points in the films which I, in my younger days, found to be quite scary at times with the main examples of this being the beginning library scene and the final rooftop scene. The acting in the film is brilliant. Each individual character is played very well and all bring very different things to the movie. Murray and Aykroyd are both seasoned ...

Review of Ghostbusters (DVD)

1984's Ghostbusters was a huge success, acclaimed critically and commercially. It spawned a huge fanbase and is still strong today. Director Ivan Reitman could not have known what would happen. The Plot Three unemployed parapsychology scientists form a company to rid New York of unwanted paranormal presences. With their hi-tech gadgets and exciting grey boiler suits, they set up base in an old firestation, employ a secretary, and pretty soon are ...
...for this to happen. The Ghostbusters must stop this before it's too late. The Cast and Performances Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis play the three mad scientists forming the Ghostbusters. They play off each other very well, and the comedy of Bill Murray's Peter Venkman combined with the geekiness of Harold Ramis' Egon Spengler sparks all the way through, kept in check only by Akroyd's sensible Ray Stantz. Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis ...

Review of Ghostbusters (DVD)

Ghostbusters is a classic movie with a huge fanbase. Although initially released in 1984, the movie still holds its own today. A very entertaining film indeed! Funny and heart warming are also words that spring to mind! It follows the story of three professors /scientists; Peter Venkman (Bill Murray - Lost in Translation, Groundhog Day), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd - Blues Brothers, Dragnet) and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis - Orange County, Knocked Up). ...

Review of Ghostbusters (DVD)

Ghostbusters is a 1984 fantasy comedy about a team of spook-chasing scientists. THE STORY When Drs Venkman, Spengler and Stanz are fired from their posts as tutors at a university, they decide to set up their own business as paranormal investigators. They rent a disused fire station, buy an old ambulance and Ghostbusters is born. Meanwhile, concert cellist Dana Barrett returns home to find her kitchen has been possessed. Who's she gonna call? ...
...close second to Murray in Ghostbusters as the enthusiastic, slightly naïve Dr Stanz. A good comedy character and a fine performance. Sigourney Weaver was in Alien and Working Girl. As Dana Barrett she is the straight person to Murray, as he tries every trick in the book to get her to go on a date with him. Weaver makes it look easy, another fine performance. William Atherton as Walter Peck is probably my favourite supporting role of all time. In ...

Review of Ghostbusters (DVD)

Ivan Reitman's GHOSTBUSTERS was released in 1984 and garnered success as enormous as its special-effects, but is it a good film? In New York Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz and Dr. Egon Spengler are paranormal scientists when their government grant runs out and the university where they're based politely asks them to leave. With no base to work from they bite the bullet and set up shop in a run-down fire station, hiring a fourth, Winston Zedmore, ...
...spirit world. GHOSTBUSTERS is an amalgamation of every B-movie ever made condensed into a Hollywood hot-pot of money, A-list stars and special effects; and it works. Personally, I couldn't have asked for more from a blockbuster, and yet thanks to Bill Murray there is much, much more. A wonderful actor, with immense presence, his deadpan humour carries the whole thing all the way, his Dr. Venkman a sarcastic scientist of his own science a much-needed ...

Review of Ghostbusters (DVD)

Classic. Thesimply classic comedy that never stops me laughing. The sheer stupidity of some of the things that happen is great, it's something that makes adults and children laugh. I love all things 80's and this is definately a contributor to that, the storyline gets me every time. When so called 'doctors' lose their jobs they turn to the supernatural, helping people with all things ghost related. One job is almost above their skills but obviously, ...
