GHOSTBUSTERS
GHOSTBUSTERS: This female reboot of what some call a classic, works for the most part. The zingers and one-liners come a mile-a-minute and for a change, they weren't all used in the coming attractions for the film but saved for the film itself. With Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon as the fearless foursome and able help from Chris Hemsworth in a surprisingly comedic role as there "receptionist," Kevin. The plot of course, involves all sorts of malevolent creatures up to no good. Cameos abound and I won't tell you about them lest it ruin the fun. (I also must point out, that little bonuses are inserted throughout the closing credits, so don't bolt from your seat to fast.) This film will undoubtedly be compared to the original and for my money, it's just as good. Slick, CGI dominates some of the scenes, particularly the finale in Times Square. No messages except perhaps a reference to true friendship and that's nice. So bring on the remakes. How about an all girl version of "The Magnificent Seven?" Well, maybe not that one. But this one is a romp and worth the time, if you need some laughs.
