Wow, where to begin. So watching this masterpiece as a youth i loved it for the time travel aspect, the high school comedy, and of course Patrick Swayze. Lol. But as I get older, and I pursue my own path in trying to understand myself, my place in this world, humanities place in the world, the meaning of the universe, etc etc. I keep coming back to concepts originally on display here. It's genius. Quantum Entanglement, OBE, Remote Viewing, plasma craft, multiverse, faith vs free will. This film doesn't give you any answers but it asks the question 25 years before being casually discussed by normies. So I recognize how it was ahead of its time. Now onto the world created. This is a perfect yet stylistic look at late 1980s America. Heading into the 90s, this is pure peace time, fun loving Americana, and the way it's filmed, the soundtrack, locations, and the actors living these rolls encapsulate it all so well. With surprise cameo after surprise cameo this film will continue to delight a first time viewer and after repeat viewings will appreciate it all the same. So in closing, some folks will watch it and appreciate the acting, the story, other various aspects. But for those who are on a journey of enlightenment , you'll come back to this film by accident just scrolling through an app, or want to reminisce the first time watching it; and you'll see the film in a whole new light. And appreciate the goings on alot more because it's asking the same questions you are. Kudos to this film and all involved.

So I just saw Beetlegeuse Beetlegeuse. And what a refreshing film it was. Far too often going to the movies as been to see your favorite IP advance its story build an ever growing universe. Not here. The original Beetlegeuse is an all time favorite. One of the blocks of Tim Burton's eccentric and excellent film catalog. It's such a unique film and great film that I was curious, how do you follow that up 40 years later. Well they didn't, really. What Tim Burton crafted here is a fever dream based solely on nostalgia. And one great Halloween film which I'm sure will become fall time viewing for the entire family. The whole film fills us who were around for the original full of great Halloween memories, even drawing some inspiration from the excellent Beetlejuice cartoon. For everyone else they've created a vibrant, small town America Halloween film that's appropriate for everyone. Micheal Keaton takes center stage in this one filling the film with one liners, forced karaoke, great entrances, and a romp around the after life. It was nice seeing Wynona Ryder back in a Burton film, joined by future odd ball actress Jenna Ortega. Filling out the cast is Katherine O'Hara and I forget his name. But they create just a fun, entertaining Halloween movie. Where the original is unique and can be viewed at anytime, this is purposely 90s nostalgia Halloween fun. Best way to sum it up. Could they have made another story of the afterlife plagued by our favorite ghost with the most. Sure. Would it of been better? Idk. They knew what they were doing here and when it's being released. Yes, nothing like the original, but perfect for this time of year. Just know that going in.
