It's been ages since I saw the first Ghostbusters movie, which was released three decades ago in 1984. I decided to re-watch the original this weekend, but I barely remembered much of it by the time I saw this reboot.

Weekend Viewing Roundup: Ghostbusters (1984) & Superman Returns (2006) rewatch + The Adventurer: Curse Of The Midas Box (2013)
Well this weekend's viewing turns out to be pretty eclectic. Given that I saw the screening of the new Ghostbuster movie (review up later this week), I was inspired to re-watch the original.

To say it's a quirky movie is an understatement, you've come to expect that from Wes Anderson, but I think this one felt extra kooky as it has a bit …

Spotlight on Bill Murray & my Top Five Favorite Roles
It was Bill Murray's birthday this past Saturday, he turned 63. I know it's a bit late but I can't resist making a tribute to the comedian whose practically a legend. I've always been a big fan of the Illinois native, he's perhaps my favorite SNL-grad (he's one of the original members) who's made it …
