Ghostbusters (2016)
Holy Ghostbusters!
I am a fan of the four main actors and upon reading the reviews was surprised by the negative comments before even viewing the film.
Some of the commentators need to calm down.
I am 54 years old and loved the first "Ghostbusters" when it was released in 1984.
Many of us have viewed remakes... re-imaginings... of films. I approach these films with in open mind. This newest film pays homage to original, yet allows an updated interpretation that is both entertaining and worthy of your time. I laughed quite a few times and felt the movie moved forward at a steady clip.
The energy between the characters was good and the dialogue quick. I watch movies for escapism. I believe in ghosts. I liked this movie.
Bad Ass 2: Bad Asses (2014)
It's okay
I watched this with my husband. He laughed more than I.
I am a fan of Danny Glover and Danny Trejo, but this movie did both the actors and the viewers a disservice.
Implausible plot. Poor continuity. If you're enjoying the evening with a few cold ones, it's okay.
Darker and more bloody than I would have thought. I did not enjoy watching Glover trying to engage in a sexual relation shop with younger women.
Some of the fight scenes were entertaining.
I hope they do not make a sequel.If they do and it's good, well... I don;t see that happening.
Earth to Echo (2014)
Fun Family Movie
We were scrolling though Netflix and landed on this title. What a fantastic find! We found this to be a great film about friendship with an added alien twist. The camera work added to the ambiance of plot and did not detract. The interplay between the characters was presented in a genuine and authentic manner. Delightful! We watched with a mixed crowd, 6 years old to 55 years old, with quite a few laughs. A story of a grand adventure at a young age is wonderful thing to enjoy. I dismiss the comparison to ET as a reason to not watch this film. Modern versions of story lines can create a fresh appeal to current movie watchers and their families. It can be a challenge to find a film the everyone can enjoy together. This is one of those special films that does.
