Movie Review for Halloween

Movie Title: GhostBusters. Rated PG. Comedy with Ghosts. (For older kids. Adult situations/possessed body/scary monster dogs) Three parapsychologists (Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Bill Murray) get fired from their jobs at an university. They open up their own ghost buster business in an old firehouse in the Big Apple. A good looking woman (Sigourney Weaver) who has paranormal activity in her frig has the ghost busters check it out. Rick Moranis plays Ms. Weaver's nerdy neighbor. The huge marshmallow man near the end is a big hit. And of course there's the catchy ghost buster song.

Movie Review

Movie Title: The Nutty Professor. Comedy. 1963 version starring Jerry Lewis. This is my favorite Jerry Lewis movie without Dean Martin. In this movie Jerry Lewis shows he can be a one man show. Eddie Murphy stars in another version of this movie in which he plays many of the characters. But Mr. Murphy's main character goes a bit over the top when he turns into a ladies man. The 1963 version is milder.
In the 1963 version, a mild mannered chemistry teacher, Julius (Jerry Lewis), has the social skills of a bumbling buffoon. He goes ape over a woman, but lacks the charisma to win her heart. Or so he thinks. Julius puts his chemistry knowledge to use and creates a potion to make him suave and debonair. He calls his new personality, Buddy Love. But the potion keeps wearing off at the most inopportune times. Will Julius ever find true love? Of course, it's a movie.
Young kids who like cartoon movies might find this movie boring. But older kids should fine it amusing.
