DVD. Feature film. Stars Michael Keaton. Dir. by Tim Burto n. 92 min. Rated PG. All-new Dolby dig. 5.1 remix w/ altern ate music-only audio trk (5.1). Standard & widescreen. Soun d & subtitles in Engl., French, & Spanish. W/ filmographies , production notes, scene access, & theatrical trailer. In the surreal, wonderfully cartoon-like comedy BEETLEJUICE, a childless couple, Barbara and Adam (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin), move to the country only to be killed in a car accident while passing over a quaint covered bridge. Their ghosts return to their beloved Victorian home, and find the HANDBOOK FOR THE RECENTLY DECEASED, which not only lets them know they're dead, but comes in handy when they learn that they can continue to live in their house, even though a new family--from the land of the living--is moving in. The new owners, fresh from the city, are quite a strange group themselves, and include the overpowering hipster mom Delia (Catherine O'Hara), her pompous SoHo interior designer Otho (Glenn Shadix), her meek husband Charles (Jeffrey Jones), and their morose teenage daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder), who befriends the ghostly couple. Though the threesome attempt to scare Delia from ruining the house with redecoration and her unpleasant personality, their attempts fail. As a last resort, they call upon the services of the demented, terrifying, but hilarious "bioexorcist," "Beetlejuice" (Michael Keaton). Director Tim Burton scores big with witty site gags, incredible special effects and sets, and a unique ensemble of characters. BEETLEJUICE is a visually inventive and imaginative comedy taken to a uniquely grotesque and funny level by the manic performance of Michael Keaton in the title role. BEETLEJUICE is number 88 on the American Film Institute's list of America's 100 Funniest Movies.
Director Tim Burton cast Michael Keaton in his next film--in the starring role of Batman, a complete departure from the character Beetlejuice.
Burton brought his animator sensibility to the make-up, effects, and sets of BEETLEJUICE, using stop-motion, animation and pixilation effects in some of the scenes.
Dick Cavett, who played fancy New York dinner guest Bernard, is best known as a high-brow talk show host.
Burton repeatedly cast Winona Ryder, Jeffrey Jones, and Catherine O'Hara in several of his other films.
BEETLEJUICE won an Academy Award for Best Makeup.
Beetlejuice Reviews: "...BEETLEJUICE springs to life....A hoot..."
-- Brit., Variety "...[A] mind-boggling, sporran-whirring fantasy-reality teaser..."
-- Harlan Kennedy, Film Comment "...An uproarious ghost comedy....The film is a dazzling display of director Tim Burton's unique pop culture sensibility..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "This movie does for Harry Belafonte's 'Banana Boat Song' (aka Day-O) what ADVENTURE did for 'Tequila'."-- Mike Clark, USA Today 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat counts here is the outlandish special effects, the genius set-pieces and the now typically Burton view of the afterlife as an extension of the everyday."-- William Thomas, Empire "Tim Burton's second feature has Michael Keaton doing a sensational star turn in the title role of a self-styled bio-exorcist. After two decades the film remains one of the funniest ghost stories ever made."Wall Street Journal Beetlejuice | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Orig Year | 1988 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank | 814  | | CD Universe Part number | 1262042 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 16, 2007 | | Rating | PG (MPAA) | | Running Time | 92 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen | | Movie Details | Color; Dolby Surround AC-3 Sound; Surround Sound; Digital Sound; Stereo Sound; Letter Boxed; Widescreen; Standard and Letterbox |

| | Paul Soldner: Playing With Fire DVD (2005)
Beetlejuice review
$19.55 This DVD explores the life and art of the revolutionary ceramic artist who transformed a 3000 year old craft into a new expression of modern art. While earning an MFA at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles during the mid-1950's, Soldner challenged the established aesthetic in ceramics, much like the New York painters, such as Jackson Pollock. It was during this Otis movement that ceramic art graduated from functional craft to fine art. At the forefront of this period was Soldner, pushing the boundaries of both clay and kiln. Today at 84 and after decades of teaching his skills to younger generations, Paul remains on the cutting edge of ceramic sculpture.
