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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
