Review of Ghostbusters / Ghostbusters 2 (Special Edition) (DVD)

...all knew what it meant! Ghostbusters was introducted to me when I was a kid by my dad who loves the films. I think I loved it the first time I watched it, and have done ever since; so when I saw that you could get a boxset with both films, a couple of the cartoons and a little book with some stuff in about the making of the film, and the actors in it for a really good (and I mean REALLY good) price I had to buy it! I'll reveiw the films here: Ghostbusters ...
...that's what you get in Ghostbusters 2, also in the boxset. The second film is as funny as the first, and contains more great one liners, proton packs and dancing toasters which you might not see in the first film. I don't prefer either film, I love both, which is why this boxset is so great. Along with this are two episodes of "The Real Ghostbusters" which feature Slimer more than in the films, but are quite cute and funny as cartoons go. And the ...

Under the city is a river of this slime leading to the museum where Dana is working as an art restorer. One particular painting, that of an ancient tyrant who hopes to make Manhattan his home. By possessing the body of young Oscar he hopes to reign his tyrany once again. Bad attitude within the city is creating more of this slime, and good vibes ...

...people who haven't seen the Ghostbusters films but for those who've never had the chance here's what it's about: three bumbling scientists investigating the paranormal are evicted from Columbia University and lose their grant. To prove their theories and make a living they decide to set up a ghost catching business. They set off with their own homemade (and untested) proton packs i.e. a nuclear power generator strapped to their backs. What follows ...
...to bring about the apocalypse. Ghostbusters II is just as fun to watch. After having saved New York from destruction the Ghostbusters find themselves out of business but eventually confronted once again with an enemy of apocalyptic proportions in the form of a painting possessed by the spirit of a long dead cruel Moldavian tyrant determined to return to the world of the living. What makes the films shine is the presence of three great characters ...

Review of Ghostbusters / Ghostbusters 2 (Special Edition) (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). ...
...both the movies and Real Ghostbusters cartoons. The coming of an ancient god sees a surge in the supernatural and the guys soon need to hire some additional help in the form of Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson - Oz, Desperate Housewives). When ancient god Gozer threatens to destro the city, the Gostbusters must spring into action and save the day! Along the way they must help out the object of Peter's affection, Dana Barret (Sigourney Weaver - Alien, ...

Review of Ghostbusters / Ghostbusters 2 (Special Edition) (DVD)

Those Ghostbusting boys are back and now stronger than ever with both films in an amazing special edition box set. The first thing that did it for me when seeing the item was the brilliantly packaged item with the green ECTOPLASMIC residue all over the front and back cover. If this alone isn't enough to make you purchase this item then maybe the price will. Here you're getting both DVDS, digitally re mastered and ideal for you home entertainment ...
