Bringing Ebonics to the lips of paranormal professionals everywhere, Ghostbusters is a cult classic not to be missed! This New York-themed, action-comedy follows the birth of a ghost hunting agency from conception to reception (that's a party for those readers behind on the hip lingo). Although not big on the frights, Ghostbusters never falls short of laughs. Mostly because no one stops to consider good taste.
Indeed, it seems as if Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson were given free reign to ad-lib as desired. The script always seems natural, with each actor truly owning their character. (Although, this reviewer must admit "the Black Ghostbuster" could probably be replaced without drawing much notice.)
Excellent writing, set work, music, and plot, Ghostbusters has all the trademarks of an unnaturally good movie. Buy it, borrow it, barter it-just get this movie into your house immediately!
Definitely a bucket o' food!
Hey!
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law managed to find a record of the ghostbusters soundtrack at yard sale last year. It was totally ridiculous. Not only did "the black ghost buster" not appear anywhere on the cover art, he got billed AFTER the secretary in the liner notes. It was really crazy horrible. Ernie Hudson gets 0 credit for busting ghosts!
