Summary: Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!
Review: The Movies

The Original *****

Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Harold Remis play three scientists studying supernatural phenoema. But when they are kicked out of the university, they must find a way to still study the paranormal, thus the form the Ghostbusters. At first they are low on money and business is very slow, but they soon earn their fame and success. But when all hell breaks loose across New York City, the major and law enforcement turn to their only hope- the Ghostbusters.

The Sequel *****

Ghostbusters 2 was an excellent, faithful sequel that lived up to the standards of the original. Incorporating all of the original cast five years later; mostly all separated doing different jobs that correlate to their personality. Once again supernatural occurrences start to surpass the law enforcements comprehension, therefore they turn to the professionals- the Ghostbusters. This sequel is well worth watching and very enjoyable. Actually, this film is quite scary in some parts and aspects that add to it's features of comedy, suspense, and action. This sequel is definitely one you won't want to miss!

The DVD- Ghostbusters 1 *****

At first there were a large batch of defective Ghostbusters 1&2 DVDs released that had many glitches including one major problem: the inability for the DVD player to detect the second half of the film. ... The Ghostbusters DVD is impressive for it's release date: 1999. The features include:
Scene Selection
Subtitles
5.1 Dolby Digital
1999 Feaurette and Original Feaurette
Deleted scenes
Storyboards
Trailers
Production Photos/Conceptual Drawings
SFX Team Documentary
SFX Before and After (Multi-Angle)
Digitally Remastered
Widescreen Format
Many films released to present day don't even have the plethora of features Ghostbusters has! Any enthusiast of Ghostbusters will adore the special features and layout of the DVD!

The DVD- Ghostbusters 2 **

Limited features accompany this spectacular sequel that really deserved more than this vague DVD. Fans will be disappointed with the DVD's limited amount of features that only include:
5.1 Dolby Digital
Widescreen/Full Screen Formats
Productions Notes
Talent & Filmographies
Subtitles
The DVD is mostly giving the viewer the prerequisite features being: 5.1 Dolby Digital and Widescreen. One can infer that great amount of time and effort put into 1st movie and the short, vague DVD of the sequel.

Pros: 1. Ghostbusters is a great classic that one will want to see again and again.
2. Ghostbusters 2 surpasses a sequels stereotype (cheap and repetitive) it's exciting, funny, and even scary.
3. Ghostbusters DVD will fulfill fans expectations of the genre; numerous special features and an animated menu.

Cons: 1. Ghostbusters 2 DVD was vague, despicable, ... but it did include prerequisites. Fans will be disappointed with this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Super Movies!!
Review: These movies are super.

Ghostsbusters 1: I love this movie the best out of the two. This film tells how the guys got into business. This film is the most exciting in my opinion. I love it because you learn the history of the Ghostbusters. I just wish that it was availble in full screen too.

Ghostbusters 2: This film has it's good moments. But it also has it's bad moments. This film is my second favorite of the two. There are some funny moments in the film. I do suggest watching the Ghostbusters 2 as well.

I have both films on VHS and DVD. I also have both soundtracks on CD. Once you see the movies you will want to buy the soundtracks. The songs from the films are wonderful. My favorite song from the first movie is "I Can Wait Forever" by Air Supply.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movies(Re-release)
Review: These movies must be re-released on DVD, because I already own these Ghostbusters' DVDs. They are the same exact DVDs that I have next to me. The stories are basically that 4 men(3 in the first half of the 1st film) capture ghosts in New York City. Both films are actually clever comedies, even though this summary doesn't sound like much of a plot.

The 1st Ghostbusters(Special Edition) is great, full of all kinds of EXTRAs including actor/director commentary, TRIVIA, actor/director/producer information concerning other movies that they've been in, games, and other great extra. You really have to buy this and explore it yourself. Works even better on a computer than a DVD player, easier to naviagate.

Sound and Visual Effects A++, it musta been remastered.

The 2nd film is just as good as the first, I wish I could say better(but do sequals actually outperform the orginal?) basically same plot, Ghostbusters are Back. Not so many extras on this DVD, pretty much because the first DVD covered it all, I would imagine. All I noticed that was really good in way of extras on this DVD is the commentary.

I think its a great buy for any Ghostbuster's fans, and even those who just liked the movies as comedies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ghosts can be good sometimes
Review: these movies rocked, i loved the second one the most. the second one is funnier, and the first one has more action. but that still doesnt make the first one better

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ghostbusting
Review: These two movies are both, very funny. Peter, Ray, and Eagan both are scientists/doctors who seek out ghost. In none other then New York City but when the ghost start finding them. They get more then what they bargain for.
