I am going to write my blogs about all of my all time favorite movies. I’ll tell you all about my favorite movies and tell you how much I love them. My first movie is the Ghostbuster it was in New York City, it came out in 1984, and it is my favorite movie.
Three weird scientist get fired from there They decide to set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, spirits, haunts, and for money. They wise-crack their way through the city, and stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, one which will release untold evil upon the city(they really wert the ones that did that but, they did get blamed for it). The Ghostbusters were called on to save the Big Apple.
Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler are three scientists at Columbia University in New York City. Venkman and Stantz meet up with Dr. Egon Spengler, and Venkman meet at a library to search for “ghosts”. Venkman mocks Ray's idiotic plan, and Egon announces that based on his readings, they now have a "good chance of actually catching a ghost and holding it indefinitely." It doesn’t hold the ghost for so long! Peter suggests this turn of events happened so that they could go into business for themselves, as the world's first firm for paranormal investigations (they would be the first to catch ghost) and eliminations, right after they were kicked out of the university. At 55 Central Park West, classical musician Dana Barrett arrives home with groceries. As she is putting away her groceries, she notices that her eggs are now leaping out of their shells (which is super creepy) and cooking themselves on her countertop. She then hears a growl coming from her refrigerator, opens it, and (never open the door, when you hear a creepy sound) sees an otherworldly temple, and a doglike creature that growls the word "Zuul", before Dana frantically slams the door shut, and a couple days later meets the Ghostbusters.
There is a montage of a series of missions, news spots, newspaper clippings, and stories about the Ghostbusters' new fame and success and with them fight more ghost, getting even more popular. The Ghostbusters soon hire a fourth man, Winston Zeddemore, a black, blue-collar type guy, who is just looking for a job and doesn’t care also as the pay is good. A supernatural light show occurs when a man comes to shut down the ghostbuster, then, as all kinds of paranormal energy bursts through the building and shoots out of the roof, Dana and Louis think this there sign to bring Gozer to the world. With the temple doors finally open, Dana and Louis now absorb their full power, as the Ghostbusters arrive just in time to see the lightning converge on the demonic couple in a huge blast, transforming them back into the monstrous Terror Dogs, who now turn and roar menacingly at the Ghostbusters before leaping towards the side of the Temple doors. Dr. Venkin was upset that Dana was now a dog.
Gozer appears in the form of an exotic female with a tall, dark flattop and blood red eyes. Egon says she's not really a woman, but rather, takes the shape of whatever it wants. They regroup and decide to attack Gozer, ( which is a stupid ideas) but she nimbly jumps clear of their streams and lands behind them. Another attack proves fruitless as she disappears rather than being caught in the streams. I thought they were not supposed to cross the streams? Believing they are victorious, the Ghostbusters begin to celebrate, but it is short-lived as Gozer's booming voice is heard above the city demanding that they "choose the form of the Destructor". Then Ray thought of the most harmless thing, something that was from his childhood. A 10-story, white, puffy marshmallow man begins to walk the streets of the city, crushing everything underfoot. When he is close enough, the Ghostbusters open fire, setting Mr. Stay Puft ablaze, as he begins to climb the building, King Kong style. Thats the way to be destroyed.
Back on the roof, the Ghostbusters have survived, and slowly emerge from the rubble, covered in marshmallow. Peter thinks Dana dead, until he hears movement. Behind him, her fingers crack through the hard shell of the animal, and the Ghostbusters quickly break apart the rest, freeing her and Louis from the terror dogs. They leave the roof, and Winston exclaims, "I love this town!”, which is the best thing he ever said in the movie other than the twinky.
I love this movie, my favorite part is with the giant Stay Puft marshmallow man was attacking the building. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I do! Who you gonna call? Ghostbuster!
