Ghostbusters II

Last night I was watching the 1989 film Ghostbusters II on TV. The story involves the Ghostbusters (Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson) re-uniting when their old friend, (Sigourney Weaver) and her baby son come under threat from a demon trapped inside an oil painting. The film holds up pretty well compared to the first one and is really funny. The special-effects have inevitably dated, but then nothing seems to look dated quicker then special-effects, just because the technology moves so fast. Later on I was watching a film called Vacancy in which an estranged married couple (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson) break down near a run-down motel and take a room for the night, only to find it contains the owner's collection of 'snuff' movies, and discover that they are lined up for the starring roles in the latest production. It wasn't a great film but it wasn't too bad.

I went out to my parent's house for lunch today and helped them move all the stuff from the loft. It was filled with absolute rubbish and also several boxes of my old stuff, some of which I have had all my life. A lot had to be thrown out which was really hard because a lot of it did have sentimental value, but it has to be done and I did save quite a bit, in particular Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and Blake's 7 videos (who remembers Blake's 7?).
