Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

asc85 The most interesting thing about this movie before it was released in the Summer of 1990 was that there was no hype about it. I remember that Premiere Magazine did their annual Top 20 prediction list of what would gross the most money that summer, and Ghost wasn't even in their list of 20. But the critical reviews were high, and the word-of-mouth was so strong, that it ended up being the #1 summer flick that year. As I said in the Summary Title, anyone who can make Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg come off as being likable and sympathetic is a genius, whether that was the director, the editor, or maybe just a little bit of both.

Chris Howard Whenever anyone asks me what my favourite movie of all time is, I say 'Ghost.' I remember seeing it for the first time when I was really young, and I still love watching it. The music alone (Composed by Maurice Jarre) is enough reason to watch it, but there are many other reasons too. Action, suspense, humour (Yes, humour. It's actually quite funny at times.) It's touching, thrilling, and other-worldly. Even if you're not a religious man, this film makes you believe in the afterlife, but only if you go to see a film, and suspend your disbelief.I know this is a relatively short review, but I hope it inspires people to check out the wonderful performances of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and of course, Whoopi Goldberg.Having re-read my little review, it comes across as a political speech. I really didn't say anything!

calvinnme I have to admit that Demi Moore as artist Molly and Patrick Swayze as Sam, an investment banker, had great chemistry. This was extremely popular when it came out in 1990, even winning an academy award for Whoopi Goldberg, whose career had been on a downturn up to that point.Sam and Molly have a great life in New York City. She is an up and coming artist, he is doing well at his investment banking job. They turn part of a run down building into a yuppie paradise loft apartment. But Sam has a problem expressing his love verbally. And then Sam and Molly are mugged by a common street criminal one night while walking home. Sam is shot and killed while defending Molly, and suddenly finds himself outside of his own body. Nobody can hear him. Nobody can see him. But he can converse with other "ghosts" that he finds. He hangs out in his old apartment to be near Molly, and then something happens that makes him think his murder was not a coincidence. The guy who killed him lets himself into his apartment with a key and begins looking for something in particular. He is obviously not there to steal the television. And from there the murder mystery begins.I still salute this movie for one inventive turn - the most unlikely protagonist ally in film history - Whoopi Goldberg as a fake psychic who turns out to be the only person who can hear Sam. She is rude, crude, at times greedy, somewhat racist and very mouthy and with a rap sheet a mile long for bunco artistry. But she does end up helping Sam, although he spends all night at her bedside singing "I'm Henry VIII I am" to get her to cooperate. However, you will like her, in part because she is so real and believable.The philosophical questions I mentioned? I guess the biggest question raised is who is a "good" person worthy of heaven and who is a "bad" person worthy of hell? Are there mitigating circumstances? The film has both of Sam's murderers going to hell. Were they BOTH that bad? One of the killers seemed like he might have been a good person until greed tempted him to the point that he got in over his head for some quick money. He was like Fred C. Dobbs in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" without the gold mine and the endless Mexican desert. And what about Sam? He kills two people , at first attacking them to defend others - and it has got to be scary being chased and beat up by something you can't see - but he seems to have fun scaring them to the point of frenzy. I mean, what did he think was going to happen in each case? Yet he seems surprised when they end up dead at his hands in what could be considered self defense taken to the point of revenge. Yet he goes to heaven. Maybe the scale of eternal reward doesn't weigh acts performed after death? Ponderous.This one might seem cheesy at points, especially the pottery making/lovemaking scene, but I think it still holds up over time. I'd recommend it.

scrwrrd I love this movie. I think that it is one of the best of movies in the world. Its story is common love story, but it has some comical or funny scenes. I couldn't seen this movie without crying. I have seen this movie three times, I cried all time. This movie was remade in 2010, but I like original version. I can see this movie any number of times. I also like a theme song of the movie. This song plays beginning and end of the movie. In the end of the movie, this song plays, then, I always cry. It is so moving story. I saw the movie recently. I have a boyfriend now, so perhaps I empathize with the movie easily. I want many people to see this movie.
