Who You Gonna Call?

Movie Review: Ghostbusters Answer The Call
Paul Feig

So, this movie has already come and gone from theaters. However, this movie was just released to DVD. I figured since most of us are prepping for Christmas and would rather buy a movie or stream it, that I would start including other movies that have been out for a little while.

Ghostbusters did a lot better than I thought it would. I saw quite a few negative things, but after watching it, I was impressed. While I was disappointed that this was a reboot of the series it still had shining moments.

One of my favorite characters was probably Patty (Leslie Jones). She kept the excitement and laughs going continuously, even if they were just small lines. The other characters did great, but Patty was by far one of the best.


At the same time, I very much disliked Kevin (Chris Hemsworth). While I liked the fact that they swapped the roles on the standard secretaries in movies, but I did not like the way they played Kevin. It went from silly mishaps to someone who couldn't even tie their own shoes. It got boring for me very quickly, and Chris Hemsworth is nice to look at so getting bored at him is hard to do.


I would have to say though, that the best thing was probably the cameos and little things to honor the original series. My favorite piece was probably scene when Abby (Melissa McCarthy) and Erin (Kristen Wiig) were in the office when speaking with the president of the university. There is something in the hallway when the camera passes the door. I won't completely spoil it, but I think it was one of the best easter eggs, and it was a great way to honor one of the original Ghostbusters, Harold Ramis.


Now other than than the decent casting and nice throwbacks, the move was pretty much just a rehash of the original. I will give it props that it was not nearly as bad as most critics proclaimed, but it wasn't top notch. I would say maybe B- material. So if you are considering getting this movie, I would recommend it. Story issues were minor, but overall it gave the original Ghostbusters justice and is worth a watch. I give it a

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.
