Despite this I felt that the movie was very good technically, with a number of truly spectacular special effects. The plot starts up very well and the movie had be doubling over with laughter in more than a few scenes. If you see it, see it in 70mm six track. Now for the bad news... This is another one of those movies that just runs out of steam at the end. You know, where they just _had_ to finish the story. Perhaps in this case, they do it just to put in some more effects. Someone pointed out to me that the effects people got credit before the screenplay people. I wouldn't be surprised. Anyway, I liked the movie overall, but probably would not see it again (at least not all the way through). Is it worth $5? Maybe to some, but if you're looking for truly silly comedy that's consistent throghout, go see SIXTEEN CANDLES first (unless you are from the orient - but that's a whole 'nother story). Anyway, now for the question. One of the previews shown before GOSTBUSTERS was for a movie called RED DAWN. It looks like a movie about the Russians landing in the U.S. and shooting everything in sight in an attempt to take over. Does anybody know when this movie is opening in the L.A. area? By the way, for all you 2001 fans who can't wait for 2010, previews of 2010 are now showing. I saw one at the awesome Cinerama Dome in Hollywood before STIII. It looks like HAL will be back (I haven't read the book). Lee Hasiuk
