That’s because this movie is full of the Buck Rogers science fiction stuff that men seem to go for. Give us women the practical instead of the proton pack anyday. However, view ers of both sexes will agree; no one will be expecting an Academy Award out of this one. Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, both of “Saturday Night Live” fame, appear together on the screen for the first time. Joined by Harold Ramis (Murray’s sidekick in “Stri pes”), they play a team of university parapsychologists who go into busi ness for themselves. Co-stars Sigour ney Weaver and Rick Moranis por tray residents of a high-rise apartment building infested with paranormal spirits. The film was co-written by Ayk royd and Ramis and produced/di rected by Ivan Reitman (“Animal House,” “Meatballs,” “Stripes”). The plot revolves around Weav er’s possessed apartment on New York City’s Central Park West. Evil spirits inhabit her kitchen and she calls in the Ghostbusters to solve her problem. Moranis is hilarious as Weaver’s pesky neighbor who inad vertently becomes “possessed” as well. “Ghostbusters” seems to rely heavily on Bill Murray’s wisecracks and a large dose of special effects, plus a few steamy purrs from ‘Ghostbusters’ Weaver. Neither Aykroyd’s nor Ramis’ characters carry much punch of their own, but they do give needed support to Murray’s antics. Visual effects supervisor Richard Edlund (“Star Wars,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark”) should be applauded for some outstanding, though a bit over played, futuristic sequences. There are too many scenes in “G- hostbusters” that seem familiar from old-time horror stories, such as the giant creature rampaging through New York City who looks like a refu gee from the Macy’s Thanksgivit Day Parade. The movie is funny when ii original but fails at traditional sa gimmicks. Beware of the "Exora spoof as well, which seems tobeac ken sex scene put there because ii movie had to live up to thePGra ing. “Ghostbusters,” however, is movie not meant to be taken se riously. Viewers who can reckot with two hours of silly science fictio: will enjoy this movie. New game the rage for trivia nuts By KAREN GILES Reporter What was the name of Little Or phan Annie’s dog? Who won the No bel Peace Prize in 1942? If you answered these questions easily, you may be interested in the first Trivial Pursuit Tournament in Houston June 30. The tournament, co-sponsored by Texas Special Olympics and the Hyatt Regency West will mark the Houston debut of a new edition of Trivial Pursuit, but all proceeds will benefit Special Olympics. Sherry Abrams, Hyatt public rela tions manager, said Trivial Pursuit has become one of the hottest selling board games in history. “The game is composed of trivia questions and we’re hoping its popu larity will draw a lot of entrants as well as spectators,” Abrams said. “We’re expecting to raise between $200,000 to $300,000.” Houston Special Olympics coordi nator Teresa Garza said the pro ceeds will be used as scholarships for underprivileged mentally retarded athletes in the Houston area. Garza said she’s optimistic about the tour nament, and is hoping to make it an annual event. In College Station, John Hill, manager of the Kay Bee Toy and Hobby Shop, backs her optimism. “People are obsessed with the game and I can’t seem to keep it in stock,” he said. “Since Trivial Pursuit first came to the United States from Canada over a year ago, it’s been in credibly popular. This game re minds me a lot of Monopoly when it first came out. We usually have a same-day sellout, which is surprising because the game is so expensive.” The $33 genus edition of Trivial Pursuit contains the board, moving pieces and 12,000 mind-boggling questions. The object of the game is to answer questions from six catego ries: entertainment, geography, his tory, art and literature, sports and leisure and science and nature. The Sports, Silver Screen an Baby Boom editions each conti 12,000 additional questions thato: be purchased separately for ata $24. But Hill said he can’t seemi: keep those on his shelf either. So if you’re sold now on theida of racking your brain to rememlxi Lucy Ricardo’s maiden name,or(k number of gold medals Mark Spit won in the Olympics, you can ol Texas Special Olympics at (713)52) 8303 or pick up a registration at the Hyatt Regency West Houstoi The deadline for entries is June!! at 5 p.m., and only the first) tries will be taken.
