Review of Ghostbusters (1984) by Midlands M — 10 May 2014
Three New York oddball scientists begin investigating paranormal activity in the tri-state area in this comedy action film written and starring several Saturday Night Live alumni (intended originally for Blue Brothers Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi with Eddie Murphy as Winston Zedmore!) Balancing the funnies with the scary, the film entertains with deadpan Bill Murray getting the pick of the 'busters one-liners and allowing room for his infatuation with Sigourney Weaver's Dana Barrett.
The chemistry between the leads makes the movie and the special effects of the iconic spooks (Slimer and Mr. Staypuft) helped attract the action crowd who enjoyed their destructive attacks on New York buildings.
"This is Casey Kasem. Now, on with the countdown".
