Ghostbusters (1984)

As a child, this was one of those films that I could not get enough of. We had gone through at least 3 VHS copies of this movie, seen practically every episode of the cartoon a minimum of five times each and collected all the toys I could get my hands on. Ghostbusters were second best only to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which was still, at times, a very close call.

I remember sleeping in my Ghostbusters tent which I had received for one of my earliest birthday's a countless amount of times. I basically used it till it could no longer stand. Anywho, let's get back to the review shall we?

Written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. Directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Rick Moranis.

After losing their jobs, a trio of parapsychologists decide to open up a ghost hunting business, utilizing a variety of homemade gadgets. They become successful on their first assignment but soon find out that the city has a lot more to offer them when it comes to catching ghosts.

Classic in the best way possible! State of the art special effects, amazing acting, dialogue and comedy all rolled in together with paranormal beings. Can a fan boy really ask for much more than this?

Next to the obvious exclusion of cell phones and the internet, which is a given, this movie holds up extremely well and can be enjoyed by children in this day and age as well.

I have nothing but great things to say about this film but I will cut it short. If you have seen it, you already know and if you have yet too see it. Then I suggest you make it a family night and watch this movie!

It's been 30 years and it's still one hell of an amazing movie! 10 out of 10!

The Boondock Saints (1999)

After having an epiphany (message from God), two fraternal twin brothers decide to hunt down and kill the most notorious and dangerous men around in order to rid Boston of all that is evil.

Written and directed by Troy Duffy and starring Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly and William Dafoe.

Filmed in a very artistic manner, Boondock Saints shows the results of the brother's actions prior to the showing of the actual events in where they use the FBI agent (played by Dafoe) to explain what had taken place and walks through the events with the audience as it plays out of screen.

This is a very fun an enjoyable flick that never seems to slow down. The story is simple but goes above and beyond for each and every scene. All in a mostly realistic manner. It shares a great mix of action, comedy and a serious aspect.

All the acting was spot on, everybody portrayed their characters without a hitch and made all their characters to be very easily likable, but I do have to go on record to say that William Dafoe's character, without a doubt, absolutely steals the show by playing a gay FBI agent who is on the top of his game. He also gives us a fun little twist near the end of the film that is just incredibly hilarious.

Without ruining anything about the film for anybody I will leave you with this. Get out there and see this film if you have not done so yet. Buy it, rent it or Netflix it, I don't care. just check this out ASAP!

Easily a 9 out of 10!
