Movie Review: Ghostbusters Answer The Call
Paul Feig

So, this movie has already come and gone from theaters. However, this movie was just released to DVD. I figured since most of us are prepping for Christmas and would rather buy a movie or stream it, that I would start including other movies that have been out for a little while.

Ghostbusters did a lot better than I thought it would. I saw quite a few negative things, but after watching it, I was impressed. While I was disappointed that this was a reboot of the series it still had shining moments.

One of my favorite characters was probably Patty (Leslie Jones). She kept the excitement and laughs going continuously, even if they were just small lines. The other characters did great, but Patty was by far one of the best.


At the same time, I very much disliked Kevin (Chris Hemsworth). While I liked the fact that they swapped the roles on the standard secretaries in movies, but I did not like the way they played Kevin. It went from silly mishaps to someone who couldn't even tie their own shoes. It got boring for me very quickly, and Chris Hemsworth is nice to look at so getting bored at him is hard to do.


I would have to say though, that the best thing was probably the cameos and little things to honor the original series. My favorite piece was probably scene when Abby (Melissa McCarthy) and Erin (Kristen Wiig) were in the office when speaking with the president of the university. There is something in the hallway when the camera passes the door. I won't completely spoil it, but I think it was one of the best easter eggs, and it was a great way to honor one of the original Ghostbusters, Harold Ramis.


Now other than than the decent casting and nice throwbacks, the move was pretty much just a rehash of the original. I will give it props that it was not nearly as bad as most critics proclaimed, but it wasn't top notch. I would say maybe B- material. So if you are considering getting this movie, I would recommend it. Story issues were minor, but overall it gave the original Ghostbusters justice and is worth a watch. I give it a

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
