GHOSTBUSTERS MOVIE SET
The two movie versions that spawned an animated
tv series, this also has a pretty great background
piece on both films!! Very interesting!
GHOSTBUSTERS(1984):
This is a lot of fun!! Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Rick
Moranis, Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson and the
rest really work off each other great here! The
premise was pretty unique, and the special effects
were great! A great movie! A
From IMDb.com:
Ghostbusters was an incredibly huge smash hit on
its original release back in `84 and its not hard to
see why - its a funny , exciting and imaginative thrill
ride. There is a lot to like about ghostbusters , like
Bill Murrays constant and always funny wise cracks,
the films constant shift from a light hearted comedy
to intense ghost busting thriller and of course , the
technically flawless attack of the marsh mallow man
that is probably one of my favorite parts of this film.
In this day and age of computer generated fx wizardry
the completely analogue special effects still look
great ( especially the stay puft marsh mallow man,
its rampage through the city looks incredibly real!)
and the film it self is still better and more imaginative
than a lot of event movies you will find in a cinema
near you today.
And to top it all off Ghostbusters is one of the few
films out there that actually had worthy TV spin off
that was the "real Ghostbusters", a cartoon that i loved
as a kid.
Ghostbusters is a film that truly deserves its iconic
status.

GHOSTBUSTERS 2(1989):
Not too bad of a movie for a follow up to such a
great hit! This one is again pretty much fun, with
a different story line to it keeping it fresh!! A-
From IMDb.com:
Ghostbusters 2 is a fair sequel that finds the boys
in grey five years later, not doing too good. Of
course, it's not long before evil spirits pop up again
in Manhattan and they're back doing what they do
best. What makes this one work as well as the
first is the relationship between the main characters.
Bill Murray gets the great one liners again, and his
scenes with Sigourney Weaver are just as goods as
the first film. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis provide
enough silly techno jargon and odd references to
slime and ghosts to keep you smiling. Still, you
can't beat a 100 foot marshmallow man in
Manhattan. - Jeff (spoonjef@aol.com)
