"Five years ago, New York City was saved by the worst paranormal incident the world has ever seen up to that point by a group of "Ghostbusters" (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson). However, things went down hill for the group after just about every department in the city government sued them and put them out of business. The team splits up thanks to a judicial restraining order, but still keep in touch. The crew gets back together to investigate some strange happenings which seems to be centered around "Oscar" (William and Henry Deutschendorf in their only movie role), the infant son of "Dana Barrett" (Sigourney Weaver), who broke up with "Dr. Peter Venkmen" (Murray) sometime between this and the original movie. What they find is a very large ammount of a kind of ectoplasm under the city that they eventually discover, during a trial against them, that this slime reacts to strong emotions. And to make things worse, a portrait at the museum "Dana", who now restor ... " [More]

"There’s no question that the original Ghostbusters is the superior of this pair, though it’s certainly arguable that the Ghostbusters 2 at least manages to hold its own and certainly doesn’t, as some sequels do, degrade from the enjoyment of the original. The original is one of those films that I’ve literally grown up with. Released in 1984 when I was all of nine years old, I’ve watched it several times a year more or less regularly since then. So it’s aged with me, never far from my mind and still acting as a source of quotes when I need a response to someone saying “Chris, I need to let you know about something…” (The proper response, of course, is, “What did you do, Ray?”) While GBII contains a lot of the usual sequel contrivances (it’s once again Dana Barrett being harassed by the spooks) it does so in a very believable (so far as these things go) way and manages to bring something new to the characters beyond the usual rehashing of the first movie’s plot.

"Video games today are great for recreating scenes from old films (such as The Godfather) and plopping you into the action. But how faithful do a game’s sequences need to be? From the way Sierra Entertainment is advertising its new Ghostbusters video game, I guess you want the gaming to be as close to the direction of the original film as possible. Not only does the new trailer for the game include many scenes from the first Ghostbusters movie, it displays side-by-side comparisons of footage from the film and the game. Because what would the game be without a near-identical shot of library catalog cards shot into the air? Interestingly enough, the game is not actually a total video game remake of Ghostbusters. Instead, it’s “an all new story you won’t see in theaters,” featuring a script by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who also wrote both the orig " [More]

"This is it, the day we’ve been waiting for two full decades (or, at least, since we first heard it was happening back in December): the Huey Lewis plot song written specifically for the David Gordon Green-driected, Judd Apatow-produced stoner comedy Pineapple Express has hit the web! The Playlist first posted a clip of the song last night; today, Whitney at Pop Candy points to the full thing, available for streaming or download on MySpace. It’s very much in classic Huey Lewis plot song mode, complete with gratuitous hand claps and sax solo. It’s not as directly narrative as, say, “Back in Time” (above), but it’s slightly more literally connected to the film than, like, “The Power of Love.” A sample from the chorus: “How did we get into this mess? Pineapple Express! Can’t deal wit " [More]

"It took me awhile, but last week I finally saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And to agree with many others, I think it features a few too many ludicrous moments. Yet the most outlandish, in my opinion, is the scene in which Indy and Marion seem to reenact His Girl Friday in about four seconds while riding in the back of a truck. I know it’d been awhile, both for them and for us, but I prefer a little more bickering, a little more holding back in comedy of remarriage plots. Anyway, we knew a long time ago, thanks to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, that Indy and Marion didn’t last long together after the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. So, I didn’t really care if they ended up together at the end of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, either. It’s probable they still wouldn’t last. And I think the same often with other unlikely movie couples at the end of their respective films. Fortunately, a number of sequels tell us outright that the romance of the first film f ... " [More]

"Obviously made to capitalize on the enormous popularity the first film had, this one feels slightly rushed now that some time has passed. When it came out, though, I couldn't get enough, and I think I had to buy the cassette tape of the soundtrack twice because I wore the damn thing out. I can't totally hate on this movie, though...it's still a lot better than most sequels. " [More]
