Pacey-4

If I was to be asked what my favourite film of all time was then my answer, without any hesitation, would have to be Ghostbusters!

A lot of my friends critisise the film, saying there are too many jokes and the whole idea is frankly unbelievable. But if they would JUST use the idea, however stupid, of a gang of guys who zap evil "Class-5-full-roaming-vapours" ("Real nasty ones too!") then let the idea lead them into the fantasy world I think they would appreciate the film more.

It was billed as a comedy, and I think if it is viewed as such and not a seriously "deep" story then it is a really fantastic movie, well worth watching whenever possible, and remains, at least in my view, a modern classic.

I missed the first couple of episodes of DC and when I didn't hear any kind of feedback about the show I assumed it was a bit of a damp squib. Then I caught a Sunday morning repeat after Hollyoaks and I was hooked!!

The whole idea is so simple, the lives and loves of a gang of teenagers in a small town, but it is done so brilliantly and convincingly that you can really believe in the characters, sympathise with them, and laugh with them.

My favourite character has got to be Pacey Witter, although my favourite "babe" has got to be Joey! The characters are all well explored and well developed, and although they do at times sound more like psychologists and less like teenagers I just think the show is awesome!

I didn't really know what this was about when I hired it, but about ten minutes into the movie I'd already figured out pretty much everything which was going to happen.

Sure, Neve Campbell was good (As usual!) and there was a good mix of sex, violence and the occasional dose of humour injected by the unflappable Bill Murray,and Kev Bacon (The look on his face is priceless when he's filming at the poolside!).

But on the whole the plot was transparent and some of the acting was quite hammy, especially Theresa Russell. Still, I did quite enjoy it!
