Movie Spotlight: Ghostbusters (2016)

I've been looking forward to the new Ghostbusters movie for a long time and have been really annoyed by all the negative people who have been claiming it would be terrible. I saw the movie today, and I'm happy to report that all of those people have been proven wrong...I knew I'd like the movie, but I loved it even more than I thought I would! Paul Feig was definitely the right person to direct this movie, and the script (by Feig and Katie Dippold) was great...I loved the plot, and I laughed just as much as I did at the original Ghostbusters.

Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones are awesome and badass as the new Ghostbusters, and Chris Hemsworth is hilarious as their not-too-bright receptionist. The special effects are incredible, and some of the ghosts really creeped me out (the haunted mannequin just might give me nightmares). If you go see it, make sure to stay through the end credits, or you'll miss some good stuff. I feel bad for the people who refuse to see this because they think a movie can somehow retroactively ruin their childhoods (which is pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever heard)...they're missing out on such a terrific movie. Watching Ghostbusters was the most fun I've had at a movie theater in a long time, and I really hope there's a sequel. Though I grew up with (and still love) the original Ghostbusters, Gilbert, Yates, Holtzmann, and Tolan are the Ghostbusters I want to be.

My rating: 10/10

Ghostbusters Comes Out Today!

There's really only one movie I have to see in the theater this summer, and of course that movie is Ghostbusters. I know there's been a ton of negative talk from sexist drama queens who think a remake of a movie can ruin a childhood that already happened, but I think it's going to be awesome! I'm going to do my best to see it opening weekend and get my review up before I leave for L.A., and for now I'll leave you with Screenrant's article about reasons to be excited for the movie. : )

New Ghostbusters Trailer

It's no secret that I'm excited about the new Ghostbusters movie...it's directed by Paul Feig (who directed Bridesmaids and a few episodes of Arrested Development, the greatest show of all time) and stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, so there's no doubt in my mind that I'll enjoy the movie. The movie's second trailer was recently released, so of course I had to share it here:

Less than two months to go...I'm planning on seeing it opening weekend, of course! : )
