Ghostbusters [Blu-ray]

Ghostbusters [Blu-ray]

Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control, and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon. Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins--who knew they could "slime" people with green plasma goo?--but hovering above the plot is Murray's patented ironic view of all the action. Still a lot of fun, and an obvious model for sci-fi comedies such as Men in Black. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review:
A tongue in "sheet" film that carries to pretenses, many laughs and
high humor. As for it being racist, huh? Lots of flaws in thie movie but
being racist is not one of them. I never discredit someone's honest reaction to a film, but c'mon! Disregard the racist monker and rent
the film. If you saw it in the theater, rent it again. Not as funny because you knew the jokes in advance. It's silly. It's fun. Paranormal
psychiology is to me voodoo science. And voodoo science is easy to
parody. They did. It worked.
