Ghostbusters

also takes a potion to become beautiful and it turns him into a white horse. You can also see a lack of diversity in the famous Breakfast Club. Not only are there just 13 actors but they’re all white. This theme is also relevant in the original Ghostbusters alongside the lack of strong female…

Gender and racial inequality is the disease that keeps a stronghold on society’s attempt to move towards equal rights. This problem is strongly demonstrated in American Cinema. Christina Hoag (2016) states in her article, Diversity in Hollywood, “White males still dominate virtually all aspects of [the film industry].” Recent events have led to the discovery of unfair wages between male and female actors to racism in today’s award shows. In years prior, laws had to be placed in order for women…

Clowns are scary. Because in the woods I heard foot step and I said is anybody here and they chased me to the cabin house. And I locked the door and so I grabbed my shotgun and I killed 10 of the clowns and the story was done. Then zombies were coming from the graveyard and I feel and there were 10 zombies so I killed 5 then this guy come and killed all of them. Then I went to the graveyard and there was nothing then at 1:00 am mummies came and tried to kill me and there was like 15 of the…

Hate Speech and trolling In the year 2016, we live in a very progressive time. We are on the heel end of the first African American presidency, women are taking major leading roles in both the film and sports industries, and same sex marriage is now legalized and more excepted than ever within all fifty states. Everything on the surface seems to be on the right track for America’s social progression. Even though everything seems fine and dandy on the surface there is a disturbing trend…

"Gorilla", "ape", and "monkey" are only some of the words used to describe Leslie Jones after starring in the Ghostbusters remake. This led to an intense debate over whether there should be restrictions on free speech. Even if the comments about Leslie Jones were considered as hate speech, it is still a part of free speech. When the government claims free speech is a right but censors unpopular opinions, it is censorship. It means that anyone is allowed to say anything only if you don't say…

Comedy movies are more than just light entertainment on a Saturday afternoon – or a great option for a date night! The funniest movies tend to live on even after the credits have rolled out. They provide us with earworms, quotes we share in funny situations and moves we recreate with our friends. They are even our comfort blankets when times get tough and we need a smile. Comedy is also quite a hard art to master. Whilst there are tons of examples of the times when the jokes just don’t work, we…

Usually they are labeled as comedies and are not part of the majority shown on television. However in the 2015, reboot of the movie Ghostbusters, many people did not like it. These people were mad at the gender switch. They didn 't mind that they were all female ghostbusters but the fact that the male secretary was straight up stupid. They claimed that you could not show men that way. Over the years television has changed moving men and women into a…

While ghost hunting is now mainly used as fodder for reality tv shows and horror movies, it was once a prestigious profession that garnered more than enough business to financially support the brave few who dared to attempt it. The science of ghost hunting- called techno mysticism- relies heavily on a belief in spirits and the individuals who appear to have the natural ability to communicate with them, but is also dependent on scientific methods and tools; a combination of early suspicion,…

In room 308 lies the darkest, most terrifying ghost in all of history. NICK BOO! He is an Islamic suicide bomber who goes by the nickname boo-sama boo-laden. He was responsible for 7-11. 7-11 was a sad day where negative 8 people died. This is where BOO died. The first encounter I had with him was at band camp. He would come into the barracks at night and raid our belongings. We didn’t notice until 5 days had past. He started with small things: soap, toothpaste, and non-perishables. But…

After three long weekends atop the box office, Finding Dory has officially fallen – to its newly released animated rival, The Secret Life of Pets. As expected, The Secret Life of Pets was received with a warm welcome from moviegoers – to the tune of $103.1 million. This is a massive victory for Illumination Entertainment, not only because it won the box office, but also because it crushed early projected numbers – which had it debuting somewhere in the $80 million neighborhood. Lump-on a…
