    Tonight was The African Queen (1951) -- not a bad pic, but it really leans in to their natural chemistry. Believe it or not, I've never seen Beeltejuice. No idea why --- but I'm watching it on...

    Believe it or not, I've never seen Beeltejuice. No idea why --- but I'm watching it on Halloween at a friend's place. There are a lot of films like this that I never saw. Long story short, when piracy was going to be enforced, my parents' friend with a video store had to get rid of all of his copies... so we pretty much had every movie up to around 1983. It was great, but in the same, we didn't rent a lot of movies or even watch movies as a family.

      I watched BeetleJuice, BeetleJuice this past weekend and it works as a great follow on from the original. Casting wise, it's great. It's just a fun family movie. You grab the popcorn and relax,...

      Casting wise, it's great. It's just a fun family movie. You grab the popcorn and relax, turn your brain off and just enjoy. I'm not saying anything else so as not to give away spoilers, but the use of practical effects mixed with CGI is great. Mr Burton did an excellent job with this. I'm glad he has said that there won't be a third though.
