Review by: pjaysmitty
I think the original Ghostbusters was the best
one, because it was new and fresh, and was
something different, we had never seen
before. Ghostbusters II was not quite as good,
the story line was different, but still worth
watching, if you like the Ghostbusters theme.
It had some big stars, and some of my
favorite actors in it, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd,
and Sigourney Weaver. The Ghostbusters are
a team of spirit exterminators, they were
disbanded for demolishing parts of New York
City after saving it from ghost attacks, and are
sued for the property damage they caused,
and barred from investigating the
supernatural, forcing them out of business.
The spirits had returned, and had taken an
interest in Bill Murray's character (Peter
Venkman's son. The men then launched a
ghost-chasing mission, which landed them in
court. The ghosts then turned on the judge,

Manhattan! There are some scenes that are
inappropriate for children.
Review by: leighclose
I really like Ghostbusters 2. It is not quite as good as the first, but it is very hard to follow a true gem
like the original Ghostbusters. The story is pretty good and everyone is definitely on point while
reprising their roles. I loved that everyone came back for the second movie. All of the actors did a
great job in this movie. So of course New York City is in peril from the supernatural again, and who
you gonna call? The Ghostbusters come through in hilarious and often times gross fashion to save
the day and the world of course.
As is only fitting, because what is the point of the movie if not to watch evil be defeated and the
heroes save the day. This is a very family friendly movie and a must watch in order-- the original and
then the second. Great to kick back and watch them on a lazy weekend day with the family. These
movies definitely bring back memories of watching them as a kid, and I have seen them many
times since, and with my own son who also enjoys them! There is a lot of originality in this movie,
and creativity and you can tell the makers of this film put their time and effort into making this the
best it could be. I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars..

TOP TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!
Now that we know the top resolutions for the new year, let's read
about keeping those resolutions going the whole year. Here are the
top tips to make sure you meet your 2019 resolutions stick!
Start Small
Large goals can feel overwhelming and unattainable.
Start off small and work your way up to reaching an
ultimate goal.
Tell Everyone
If you share your goals and resolutions with your friends
and family you are more likely to stick to them. You can
discuss your ideas & plans with them. Having that support
system will ultimately help you achieve your goals.
Treat Yourself
Give yourself tiny rewards for sticking to your plan.
Treating yourself along the way will help you stick to
your goals long term.
Don't Stress Out
It's okay if you veer off course a bit. We all make mistakes
and slip ups, it's a part of life! Just dust yourself off and get
back on track. You can do it!
