Who. do. you call? Ghostbusters!
By Tom Mcckler
Pill Murray is a genius. He is probably the funniest
man in America, if net the entire world. For this
reason "Ghostbusters" is a must-see film. Forget that
it costs $30 million to film and that it is basically a
silly comedy it is worth it.
Movie
teview
The film is as simple as it sounds, with three aca
demic parapsychologists forced into the private
sector. They form Ghostbusters and then go around
hunting ghosts for money.
The film works, in part because of the expensive
special effects, which provide for supernatural real
ism, and in part because of Bill Murray comic tal
ents, which provide for natural surrealism.
The Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis characters
provide technical support, while Murray seems only
marginally interested in science or things scientific.
For him, science is a dodge, and a way to meet
women. As Sigourney Weaver observes, "You don't
seem like a scientist. You seem more like a game
show host." But it is this attitude that allows Murray
to transcend the reality, and therefore to overcome
it.
This is in the tradition of last years' junderrated
"Strange Brew," in which the McKenzie brothers are
only concerned with finding another case of beer.
Sure the plot is contrived, but any plot is secondary
to the comic talents of Bill Murray. The film is essen
tially his vehicle.
The curious thing is that writers" and co-stars
Ackroyd and Ramis deliverately wrote themselves
subordinate roles to Murray's. This is to their credit.
On the other hand, it is a far cry from the early days
of Saturday Night Live, in which Ackroyd was one of
the stars and Murray played supporting characters.
Murray has proven himself as a star of the screen,
whereas Ackroyd has not.
Bill Murray can take just about any line and make
it funny, with his patented combination of delivery
and body language. His talents are even further
underlined by a film due out this fall, "The Razor's
Edge," in which Murray plays a dramatic role.
"Ghostbusters" is good, clean, wholesome enter
tainment and is recommended for everyone.

The Cure's new album The Top" (FictionSire) is
the expected answer to last year's short release of
"The Walk."
u Although "The Top is nothing like the fun style of
"Boys Don't Cry," the album more than compensates
with deep-feeling lyrics and Robert Smith's fetch
ingly hurt voice in such songs as "Badmad Girl."
In "The Empty World," Smith Writes about what
goes on in someone's mind, presumably when they
are on drugs. "She talked about the armiesThat
marched inside her headAnd how they made her
dreams go badBut oh how happy she wasHow
proud she wasTo be fighting the warIn the empty
world. "
There are some songs on the album that are much
too confusing, like "Give Me It." But these are over
shadowed by such gems like "The Caterpillar" which
has several different changes of pace to make the
song interesting.
In fact, the whole album is a completely different
experience. -
Echo and the Bunnymen's new album "Ocean
Rain" (KorovaSire) is also a completely different
experience, but in a much different way than The
Cure. Their sound can be compared to stepping off
of a time machine in the middle of a Doors concert.
This interesting concept is a wonderful difference
than other bands now which concentrate on futu
ristic music than trying to do neat things with music
techniques done in the past.
