A classic film not to be missed!

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2005)

"Ghostbusters" was a huge hit when it was released back in 1984 (geez, has it been that long already) which started a phenomenon. I still remember the song being played constantly on radio stations, while the video was a huge hit on the video stations. To this day, it still holds up with current movies being released.
The story revolves around Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Dr. Ray Stanz (Dan Akroyd) and Dr. Spengler (Harold Ramis), who start up a "ghost busting" business when they are dismissed from their positions from the University in New York. Little do they know, that their business is going to explode, as an ancient god Gozer, prepares to enter the world to bring upon the end of the world.
With great special effects, great comedy bits (mostly provided by Bill Murray), and a fantastic cast and story, "Ghostbusters" is a film for comedy and action buffs. Although the special effects do look kind of dated today (especially in the scene where the demon dog is chasing Louis through Central Park), they are still incredible and bring the characters to life. This was before computer technology became a huge part of cinema.
If you have never seen this film, go out and take a look, I guarantee that you will love it. For those others that have already seen it years ago, take another look, it is still a classic that stands up today.
