Ghostbusters (1984)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Cast: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver
Running Time: 105 minutes

 


A group of three parapsychology professors at Columbia University start noticing that some paranormal activity is happening around New York City, so they form the Ghostbusters, a specialized team whose mission is to battle these ghostly presences.

As a movie buff, I felt it was weird that I had never seen this particular film. It just was not my thing. Maybe I am not the right public for it. I love most of the cast involved, but I am not big on the paranormal thing. I found the humor here silly and unfunny. I dig Bill Murray. Here, he basically played his usual schtick, but without the jokes. I also appreciate Aykroyd. Though many associate him with this particular title, he will always be Elwood Blues in my book. Rick Moranis made me chuckled a few times, but I was pretty bored with Ghostbusters.

Overall, I know this is considered a classic. It is simply not one I intend to revisit over and over.
