Ghostbusters


A supernatural comedy film that manages to keep relevant and be as funny and enjoyable as the day it was released 30 years ago.  It follows a team of three parapsychologists who opens up a ghost-catching business that ends up booming and naturally eventually saves the city of New York from a massive supernatural disaster.  Right from the beginning scene, the humor kicks in and keeps you entertained.  Bill Murray's character is the star of the show but the rest of the team, including the fourth Ghostbuster, put on a strong performance too.  The plot could use a little bit more finetuning in the aspect of fleshing out the villain because it ends up as a one-dimensional antagonist who just wanted to destroy the world but that's their job.  Obviously, the special effects have dated since its release but due to the minimal use of them, it isn't too obvious and adds to the film's charms.
