I watched Ghost Team. 

Then I watched Ghost Team One. 

The two movies came out within three years of each other.  They're not related.


Ghost Team One is about two frat bro slackers that share a house with a third frat bro guy who really doesn't like them.  The main two accidentally record a real Ghost and end up trying to make an amateur ghost hunter style video to impress a beautiful woman.  They end up ticking off their roomate, their neighbors, and stirring up a ghost that they have no way of handling. 

Ghost Team is about a couple of loser slackers that put together their own group of dysfunctional individuals to try to make a Ghost Hunting video in the hopes that they can send it in and get hired as part of a major Ghost Hunting team on TV.  I don't want to ruin it, but what they encounter is dangerous, but it's not ghosts. 


Out of the two, GTO is more horror with actual ghosts and death, but GH has a far better plot, and much stronger characters.  I'd recommend Ghost Team, but not Ghost Team One.

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977)
A series of UFO sightings in the American Midwest leads a pair of truth seekers (Richard Dreyfuss and Melinda Dillon) to the top of Devils' Tower in Wyoming, where a team of scientists are secretly trying to contact the critters.
Steven Spielberg's elaborate sci-fi/fantasy is still holding up pretty well all these years later thanks to the strong cast and its trippy, stoner-iffic UFO light show effects.

One more thing on Society: I love the first rendition of the theme song (based on Elon Boating Song): https://youtu.be/sIi1HOw_9Qg?si=agl4h3JM8aGX7ZPM

Great title too, just "Society"

The Driver (1978) - I skimmed a review of this talking about it's amazing car chases and figured I'd give it a spin, no pun intended. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The overall presentation is little bit odd. The lead actor Ryan O'Neil is good, but doesn't really seem like he'd be about this kind of life. There's very little dialogue and while the cinematography is impressive, it doesn't look like they spent much on it besides setting up some trash cans for the cars to knock over. "Sparse" is the word I'm looking for.

I'm curious as to why it's only on youtube as it seems like a very accessible "guy movie" that, in it's finer moments, can make the likes of To Live and Die in L.A. (which I will always reflexively call "To Live and Shave in L.A.") look bad.

A guy is an awesome getaway driver, so an a***ole police chief hates him. An elaborate plan by law enforcement is hatched to try and bring him down, so it's battle of wits as well as of illicit car driving skills. There is one exceptionally pretty woman who is part of the criminal underworld, but it's mostly guys either driving or haggling about crime stuff "That's 30% of the take!" "That's my offer". Highly recommended to all.

4.75 /5
