Three misfit parapsychology professors are booted out of their cushy jobs at New York City's Columbia University. Despite their relative lack of funding, they start an enterprise called Ghostbusters, a spectral investigation and removal service. One of the men has a plan to catch and contain supernatural entities, though it has never been properly tested. Undeterred, they obtain a former fire station as a base and begin advertising on local television. At first, their clients are few and far between, and the Ghostbusters have to depend on their individual talents to keep the business alive: Dr. Egon Spengler is a scientific genius, Dr. Raymond "Ray" Stantz is an expert on paranormal history and metallurgy, and Dr. Peter Venkman has charm and business savvy, although he is in some ways a charlatan. Although he initially comes off as a bit of a goof and sleaze, Venkman eventually finds a subtly heroic side to himself when he learns that a creature called Zuul is haunting the apartment of Dana Barrett, a client who has become the object of his lustful intentions. Unfortunately, it soon becomes apparent to the Ghostbusters that the spike in paranormal events means they are headed toward a climactic confrontation with an entity ancient Sumerian God known as Gozer the Gozerian, whose presence was implied by bizarre occurrences such as the demonic Zuul appearing in Dana Barrett's apartment! The Ghostbusters are called on to save the Big Apple and face Gozer themselves. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Three odd-ball scientists get kicked out of their cushy positions at a university in New York City where they studied the occult. They decide to set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, spirits, haunts, and poltergeists for money. They wise-crack their way through the city, and stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, one which will release untold evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters are called on to save the Big Apple. Written by Greg Bole {bole@life.bio.sunysb.edu}

Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler are three scientists at Columbia University in New York City. When their grant expires, the guys are fired and they go into business as a ghost extermination company called "Ghostbusters". Their first customer is orchestra cello player Dana Barrett, who was scared out of her apartment on the 22nd floor of a high rise apartment building on Central Park West. It seems that Dana's neighbor, Louis Tully, is also being affected by the strange happenings in the apartment building. Armed with proton guns, the Ghostbusters become wildly popular, and they are joined by Winston Zeddmore, who is looking for a job with good pay. Overzealous Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agent Walter Peck thinks the Ghostbusters are frauds, and he has the Ghostbusters put in jail. Peck is forced to believe the Ghostbusters when New York City is put under siege by an ancient Sumerian God named Gozer the Gozerian, who is channeled through the apartment building that Dana and Louis live in, and the mayor has no choice but to let the Ghostbusters out of jail to face Gozer. Written by Todd Baldridge

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE GHOSTBUSTERS 1 FROM DVDTALK


A classic film that still entertains, "Ghostbusters" tells the story of 4 scientists who, after finding themselves out on the street, decide to open their own business catching ghosts. The script(by Dan Ackroyd/Harold Ramis) is still just as funny and witty today and the sort of dry comic timing between the characters I still found quite funny. The film deals with the band searching for the reason why so many ghosts are finding their way into the city, but also adds in a few subplots, such as an Environmental Protection Agency agent going after the Ghostbusters because he believes they're violating state environmental laws as well as an additional romantic subplot between Bill Murray's ghostbuster and Sigorney Weaver's character. Technically, the film also still stands up. The effects were incredible then and now, they can still be appreciated as great for their time. There's also something more entertaining about the not-quite-flawless nature of a lot of the film's physically done special effects that I find more entertaining than most of the seamless effects of a lot of today's films. But overall, it's a movie that's still wonderfully funny, smart and sure to entertain on this new disc- Columbia/Tristar has done a fantastic job bringing this film to disc in a great Special Edition package.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY OF 300 FROM IMDB

It is spring, 480 BC Persian King Xerxes, continuing his fathers, Darius, master plan to conquer the Hellenic city-states, arrives in Hellas. The previous Persian invasion and diplomatic attempts have already turned most northern Hellas tribes and states to the Persian side. But the people of Athens and Sparta, the largest Hellenic powers at the time, feel quite insulted by the Persian emissaries requesting their surrender to Xerxes and slay them. In Sparta, King Leonidas consults the local oracle, which gives two options: either a spartan king will have to be sacrificed or Sparta will be burned to the ground. A year earlier (481, BC) a panhellenic consortium of all southern city-states have already recognized the superiority of the spartan army (the best organized and trained army at the time) and have announced King Leonidas supreme commander of the combined Hellenic army. It is then decided that a small force should block Xerxes' way to southern Hellas in the Thermopylae passage.This passage was at that time 12 meters wide.The great historian Herodotus, possibly exaggerating, states that there were 1700000 Persians(their true number could be anywhere around 100000 and 1000000) against 7000 Hellenic hoplites and slaves, including the 300 men of the spartan king elite guard. King Xerxes waited for 4 days for the Hellenes to be frightened and eventually surrender and was quite astonished by his opponents complete apathy who were following their daily program practicing and making their hair! After that Xerxes tried to convince Leonidas to drop weapons, give up his position, kneel before him and live on as a local governor under Xerxes. King Leonidas replied "molon lave", which means "Come and get them". Then the 3 days battle begun with the 300 Spartans, and 700 thespians (the other Hellenes where sent by Leonidas to protect passages to their flanks) slaying thousands of Persians with minimal losses. The whole Persian campaign would have fail if there wasn't Efialtes who showed Xerxes a secret passage to the Hellenic flanks. After a final battle lead by king Xerxes himself the Hellenic force was completely slain and their heroism and glory was written forever in history. From the beginning of the battle the Hellenes buried their dead in the spot they fell dead. After the battle signs where made for the dead of each Hellenic faction. For the pelloponisians generally (including the 300 Spartans) the sign reads(free translation) 'In this place 4000 thousand pelloponisians fought 30 millions), for the 300 Spartans(lakaedaemonians) especially the sign reads(free translation) 'Oh foreigner tell the lakaedaemonians that we are buried here obeying their laws' meaning that they never hesitated and never retreated from the enemy. The impact of the battle was enormous for both sides. The Persians' morale dropped to zero and the Hellenes lost their fear for the Persian conqueror and organized their defense. After several successful battles the Hellenes ultimately defeated the Persian army and repelled their invasion in the Battle of plataea in 479 BC. Written by Harris o Harros

When the ambitious King Xerxes of Persia invades Greece with his huge army to extend his vast slave empire, the brave Ling Leonidas brings his personal body guard army composed of three hundred warriors to defend the passage of Thermopylae, the only way by land to reach Greece. Using courage and the great battle skill of his men, he defends Thermopylae until a treacherous Greek citizen tells King Xerxes a secret goat passage leading to the back of Leonidas's army. Meanwhile, his wife Queen Gorgo of Sparta tries to convince the council to send the Spartan army to fight against the Persians. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy. Written by Simon Stevens

In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 100,000 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 170,000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected as a local shepherd named Ephialtes defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks. Written by cyberian2005

In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes sends his massive army to conquer Greece. The Greek city of Sparta houses its finest warriors, and 300 of these soldiers are chosen to meet the Persians at Thermopylae, engaging the soldiers in a narrow canyon where they cannot take full advantage of their numbers. The battle is a suicide mission, meant to buy time for the rest of the Greek forces to prepare for the invasion. However, that doesn't stop the Spartans from throwing their hearts into the fray, determined to take as many Persians as possible with them. Written by rmlohner

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE 300 FROM DVD TALK

If a society like Sparta existed today, it would be denounced as cruel, inhumane, and would probably be a target for liberation by one group or another. Killing babies for having physical defects is generally considered a no-no in today's society. And yet, despite Sparta's almost complete lack of artistic culture, political science, or value of anything outside of the art of war, the city-state flourished for centuries. While their practices may seem outlandish and harsh, they did produce some of the finest warriors of the ancient world, men bound together by a code of honor and a love of their country.

It is these fraternal feelings that Zack Snyder celebrates in his visually stunning adaptation of Frank Miller's epic graphic novel. 300 tells a highly stylized tale of the Battle of Thermopylae, that famous event where three hundred Spartans (and about 700 warriors from other Greek city-states) held back the advancing armies of Xerxes I. The historical events themselves were used as a springboard for Frank Miller's fertile imagination in his 1998 comic miniseries (later collected in graphic novel form) with Lynn Varley.

After the success of Robert Rodriguez's film version of Miller's iconic Sin City, director Snyder took a similar stylistic approach. All of 300 was shot against blue-screen and green-screen backgrounds, allowing the filmmakers to add in all the details later. The result is a comic book come to life: heightened colors and contrasts give the film a feel of a moving painting. You could take any frame from a print and throw it into an art gallery without anyone batting an eye. And the Persian designs are so outlandish that they go beyond embellishment. They represent the mystic nature of the East in the most literal way. Compared to the lightly-attired Spartans, they appear as the height of excess.

And it certainly would be easy to lambaste the film as being as excessive as the villains it depicts. But Snyder dresses up the Persians specifically to highlight just what kind of men the Spartans are. For them, the battle is all. There is a lot of talk about "free men" throughout the movie, as to lose to Xerxes would mean the enslavement of all Sparta. But in point of fact, the term "free man" only meant that the Spartans were not slaves to other men; they were all slaves to the state. The strict nature of Spartan society, while hinted at, is never shown. So why would men fight and die so willingly for a country that strictly governed their entire lives from birth to death?

The answers are honor, fraternity, and the right to call themselves their own masters. In many ways, the Spartans had the first modern army. By forging brotherhood through hardship from the earliest age of a child, the Spartan army was loyal, severe, and brutally talented. Don't modern boot camps work the same way? Break down the mind, then rebuild it into a killing machine. 300 displays these methods in their noblest light. These men are not afraid to stand up against an army hundreds of times bigger than their meager force due to their camaraderie, their knowledge of their battle talents, and through their acceptance of death. Snyder comes back to this theme time and again. The whole film hinges upon it.

In many ways, I've avoided discussing the film itself. The fact is, the story here is very simple. Persia threatens Sparta, Sparta sends small force to defend itself. Persians attack, Spartans do not yield. Repeat. In between, we get a few scenes of politicking and backstabbing back at home. These scenes, while giving the story a wider context, also feel superfluous. The heart and soul of the story lies with the men who fought with everything they had in the face of an insurmountable foe. It's a simple story, told well, and while it may not be historically accurate, it makes you feel what it could have been like to be a Spartan.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE HIGH FIDELITY FROM IMDB

Based on the cult novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob (Cusack), a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a touching and whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart. Written by {N2XFYLS@aol.com}

Rob gets ditched (yet again) by his current femalething. This catalysts a sordid self examinatory process about all his failed relationships. It's centred around his record shop, and coloured by his two motley socially inadequate assistants. Written by Filmtwob {webmaster@filmfreak.co.za}

Arrested development confronts 30-something Rob Gordon when Laura, his smart and successful lover, leaves him because he hasn't changed since they met. He reviews his top five worst breakups (he constantly makes top five lists, though usually about music). He recalls each breakup, reconnects with these former loves to find out why they dumped him, and wallows in misery from losing Laura. Much of it plays out at his vinyl record store where he and two clerks, socially-inept savants, live and breathe obscure contemporary music. Rob makes fruitless attempts to win Laura back, indulges in new relationships laced with fantasy, and tries introspection. What will Laura do? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE HIGH FIDELITY FROM DVDTALK

The Movie: "High Fidelity" is a film that deserved a wider audience. Released in the final week of March to good reviews, the film didn't get much of a push, and faded fairly quickly. The film pulls off a double play that's not always easy and even less frequently seen in movies lately - the film not only has dialogue that's smart and funny, but great characters that are fully written and completely likable. John Cusack's performance is easily one of his best, as well. Cusack plays Rob, a record store owner and music fanatic whose girlfriend Laura("Mifune"'s Iben Hjelje) has just left him. This sends him into memories about the top 5 break-ups that he's had throughout his life (with girlfriends played by such actresses as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lili Taylor). In fact, the majority of his life is based around the "top 5" lists that he consistently shares with his two fellow employees Barry(the scene-stealing Jack Black) and Dick(Todd Louiso). There really isn't a structured plot; the film mainly is Cusack's Rob serving as tour guide through the troubles that have served as obstacles in his finding the "one", which Laura might have been. The scenes in the store are definitely the highlights though - with Barry going after the customers who don't share his taste in music (with a very funny scene in the trailer). It's an extremely funny performance by Jack Black that's easily one of his best. And although Cusack talks to the camera a bit too much, the relationships and dialogue feel very natural and very realistic. At the center of it all, is Rob, wondering why things never seem to last with the women in his life, and wondering just what it is he's done wrong, with music as the soundtrack for his life. The film also uses Chicago locations perfectly. Rather than just sort of skimming over places and making them feel generic, "Fidelity" takes real locations and makes them feel...well, real. The only real wrong step the movie takes is Tim Robbins, whose character is a little too goofy.
