Movie Review: OSCAR WINNING THRILLER ROMANCE
Summary: 5 Stars
Ghost (Special Collector's Edition)
Its hard to imagine virile, very-much alive PATRICK SWAYZE as a ghost. But that's what he becomes when he is shot by a mugger while walking home with girl-friend DEMI MOORE. Swayze can't figure why he's been left to roam the earth, but it doesn't take him long to work out that he's there for a purpose and that's to protect DEMI from those who had his killing rigged to look like a casual shoot-and-run affair. This isn't easy ( as DEMI can't see or hear him and he can't move objects ) until he latches on to a PSYCHIC (WHOOPI GOLDBERG) and takes lessons in telekinesis from a sub-way Ghost, VINCENT SCHIAVELLI. Whoopi isn't enthusiastic: Why don't you get some chains and find a house to haunt? she complains. But Swayze makes himself a nuisance enough to force her hand. This film, could have made a first-rate off-beat romantic thriller (and even more money); for the reason it's only effective in patches. Look no further than the running time, far too much is spent in pseudo-erotic moonings. Never mind, enjoy the thriller plot (though the villain isn't difficult to spot), the special effects and WHOOPI GOLDBERG'S lively, ACADEMY AWARD WINNING, performance.
Summary of Ghost (Special Collector's Edition)
Patrick Swayze plays a ghost who teams with a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg) to uncover the truth behind his murder - and to rescue his sweetheart (Demi Moore) from a similar fate. "The word of mouth is that Ghost is a must-see romance," says Entertainment Weekly. Ditto to that!Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are the passionate lovers whose romance is undone when the latter is murdered during a bungled hit arranged by a rival. The clever concept by screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (director of My Life) extends outward into comedy (Swayze's character communicates through a sassy medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, who won an Oscar for this role), horror (the afterlife is populated by hell-bound demons and the like), and romantic complications (a handsome suitor, played by Tony Goldwyn, comes on to Moore while Swayze's spirit is still hanging around). Directed by Jerry Zucker, previously best known for codirecting Airplane! and similar broad comedies, Ghost is a careful balancing act of strong commercial elements, but at heart it is a timeless Hollywood tearjerker that easily gets under one's skin. --Tom Keogh
