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.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
