Now let’s immediately muddy it back up: Ghostbusters (1984), one of the most popular movies of the ’80s, is a comedy, and a very good one. It occupies the top tier of movies inspired by, adjacent to, or otherwise connected with Saturday Night Live, and represents a career highlight for Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and the late Harold Ramis all at once.

Ghostbusters old and new return to New York for another not-very-spirited sequel
This is the time of year when our local waterways – rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds – really begin to come to life. The backyard pond on our Northbrook homestead is no exception where one of those early signs of spring is the return of a pair of wood ducks determined to set up housekeeping in one of the two nesting boxes we erected years ago.
