Why You Should See Ghostbusters

The new Ghostbusters is not a bust.

Why You Should See Ghostbusters
Screen Rant

As your local movie theater employee, I know a thing or two about movies. When watching a movie, I look for certain qualities, and I have to say not everything I watch is up to my standards. However, not every review is going to be an honest review of the movie. Maybe they're too attached to the first one and refuse to give the sequel or remake a chance. Like several other movies, I believe that this is yet again the case with Ghostbusters, 2016. When I walked into the theater to see it, I had low expectations. When I walked out of the theater though, I can honestly say that I loved the movie.

The plot was similar to the original Ghostbusters movie that came out in '86 with an original spin, and it wasn't just because they gender-bent the cast. There were several cameos throughout the movie that gave not only me, but the other people in the theater some laughs. Even the stay puff marshmallow man showed up for a cameo! The energy throughout the entire movie was amazing.

They had a song from Fall Out Boy, and we all know who they are now that they've hit the mainstream media, and they don't just sing for any movie. The last movie they sang for was Big Hero 6, and that movie was excellent. Another factor that makes this movie great was the fact that they didn't keep it serious. Honestly, it felt like a Ghostbusters comedy. Some of the lines were priceless, and the cast was fantastic. Even the credits kept my attention, with a hilarious dance number by Chris Hemsworth and a bunch of people who worked for Homeland Security in the movie. How many times are you going to be able to say that you saw something like that on the big screen?

The battle scenes were also incredibly impressive, the CGI was definitely an improvement to what I'd seen before. It almost felt real. The characters were believable and quirky. Even when I had no idea what they were talking about, I felt like I was one of them. If you liked the original Ghostbusters, trust me, you're going to like the new one. It's definitely worth your time to catch while it's still in the theater.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
