No offense to fans of the early 90s... but seriously, didn't you have something better to spend your money on than Ghost? Holy crap this movie was bad. I didn't enjoy a single minute of it. I must have moved around, whined, complained, and blamed T. for the full 127 minutes I spent watching this movie.
Earlier today I figured, we have enough posts under our belt, so, it must be time for something romantic. You know... warm our hearts, help us reconnect with our sappy sides after watching someone like Marilyn Monroe remind us how fake human interaction really is most of the time. We perused some lists of top romantic movies, such as this and this, and I decided, what the hey, this might be a fun mix of supernatural and sentimentality.
But it wasn't. And T. knew it. He had seen this movie before. He let us waste our energy watching this pile of refuse for reasons unknown to me. My guess is that he wanted me to be dissuaded from suggesting romantic movies in the future. But, what he may NOT have realized, is that now the hunt is ON! Since that was so terrible, I want to find one that really takes my breath away, steals my heart, and makes me sigh inadvertently.
T., get ready for every romantic movie you have never before been subjected to! Muhahahhahaaa!
And when you are ready to tear out your eyeballs, remember this: You could have stopped this!
In short: There was no chemistry between the actors. All the acting was really choppy and poor. Especially emotional close-ups of Patrick Swayze. The special effects were distracting and weird. The racial stereotyping was aggravating and not at all comedic. The ghouls and heavenly light were just sad. And, finally, the pinnacle of a movie should never be, "Ditto".
I hope someday people realize how bad this movie is. Twenty years later, I would hope that any attachment to this story is gone. Let me know it is just a hoax. Seriously. Because I just don't get it.
Enough said.
