Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" A paranormal expert and his daughter bunk in an abandoned house populated by 3 mischievous ghosts and one friendly one. It’s actually a pretty ok film, and while the film at times feels like a product of it’s time, it’s still worth checking out. While the film was successful at the box office, critics felt it was kind of meh. The film has the most bizarre list of film cameos ever, including Rodney Dangerfield. Dan Aykroyd, and Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson? The soundtrack also featur"

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: Bill Pullman Christina Ricci The film cameos It’s a pretty decent film, that’s not too scary for younglings, but it’s scary enough. The ghosts Cathy Moriarty and Eric Idle The cons: Oh dear God, this film has emotional whiplash over load. Some aspects have aged better than others. The ghost effects, feel a bit dated."

A winner of a family film- Casper is so cute!

“I really liked this movie, I seriously don't get the low rating. It is a most enjoyable family film, that is really sweet.

The special effects however are simply wonderful, and the sets are suitably dark and Gothic. But what made this movie for me was Casper, forgive me but he is so cute. The whole movie is well worth seeing just for him, but there are many other good things about this film too. The dance sequence especially is delightful.

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: First reel had a few drawbacks - a slice-cut during a shot of a car, what looked like a changeover but wasn’t and an actual changeover that took several frames off after the first cue mark. The audio was noticeably fuzzy both scenes in which Casper asked Kat “Can I keep you?” Otherwise, a surprisingly fine print for what it’s worth.
