Ghostbusters

It’s rare to come across a movie (or any medium) that has more than one strong female character, but with Ghostbusters (2016) we get four! And what a fun crew they are: science-loving, quirky, brave, and always there for each other, these fearless ladies overcome obstacle after obstacle in order to prove that they aren’t crazy…and also save the day.

Now, before the complaints roll in: NO, this movie is not trying to replace the old one. We are allowed to enjoy both, you know. NO, this movie is not a good remake, because it isn’t a remake. It’s a brand new story based on the old concept, with fan-pleasing nods to the original. YES, I’m sure it is annoying for men to see Chris Hemsworth’s character be the only man on the team who is only there for looks and is a total ditz. Gee, wonder how that feels? It was intentional, sir, to prove a point. YES, this movie is amazing and funny, and you can’t change my mind.
