Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Goldwyn - Dir:Jerry Zucker A murdered man has a final chance, as a ghost, to discover his murderer and say goodbye to his wife with the help of a phony pyschic. Shortly after moving into a new Manhattan apartment, a pair of lovers are separated by a street thug's bullet. Communicating through a frazzled false medium, the man's ghost tries to avenge his death and protect his girlfriend. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Picture, Best Original Score. Academy Awards: 2, including Best (Original) Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress--Whoopi Goldberg. After renovating their expensive loft in the TriBeCa section of Manhattan, Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (Patrick Swayze), a young successful yuppie couple, are walking home one evening when Sam is tragically gunned down by a street mugger. Molly goes into a deep depression, but, unknown to her, Sam has come back as a ghost in order to protect her from danger--although he isn't yet aware who or what means her harm, and he has a lot of learning to do in order to make himself known to her. He teams up with an unwilling psychic, Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), and together they try to convince a very skeptical Molly that Sam was actually murdered and has returned spectrally to complete some unfinished business. Moore and Swayze and are excellent as the couple, and Goldberg won an Oscar for her portrayal of the wild and wacky psychic. GHOST is considered by many to be one of the most romantic films of the 1990s. Theatrical release: July 13, 1990.

Ghost Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Fast Delivery, VHS Quality
First, loved the delivery time and email notification. It took just 2 days regular mail. The DVD I purchased has a VHS view, just a tiny bit grainy. The DVD view is not as crisp as I'm used to seeing, but for the price it's pretty good. I'll definetly order more DVDs from CD Universe in the future.

Not a Scary Movie
This is not a scary movie but a kind of romantic adventure involving the ghost of the deceased husband( Swayze ). The storyline is predictable and the screen writer tried to make the movie interesting by infusing some humor, mostly surrounding the psychic( Goldberg ). Reasonable performances from the cast but Goldberg stole the limelight.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  I cry every time~!
This is a GREAT love story- and there's something for everyone: murder mystery, action, a little comedy and a lot of romance. I cry at the end of the movie every time I watch it not just because it is a sad, yet gratifying ending but also because it makes you more aware of the things and people we take for granted in our daily lives. Excellent flick, definitely one of my favorites of all time!

| | Usual Suspects DVD (1995) Widescreen
Ghost DVD
$10.85 
Director Bryan Singer's labyrinthine crime drama centers on five career criminals (played by Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, and Stephen Baldwin) who meet after being rounded up for a standard police line-up. Upon their release, the men band together to pull off an intricate heist involving $3 million worth of emeralds. Their success brings them to the attention of the enigmatic Keyser Soze, an unseen, nefarious, and mythic underworld crime figure who coerces them into pulling off an important and highly dangerous job. The scenes that follow make THE USUAL SUSPECTS one of the most fascinating crime thrillers in cinema history.
Working from the Oscar-winning screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie, Singer adroitly tells the complex story through flashbacks, cross-cutting, and voice-over narration. Such nimble handling of the intricacies of the nonlinear narrative adds to the suspense, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats until the clever, satisfying finale. Singer's expertise in the technical aspects of filmmaking--his use of a dioptic filter to keep two close-up faces in focus, as well as his inventive use of six-frame step printing--helped him earn his reputation as a visually impressive and stylish director. Filled with excellent performances from veteran actors (Kevin Spacey won his first Academy Award for his breakthrough role as Verbal Kint), THE USUAL SUSPECTS placed Singer squarely on the cinematic map.

NTSC/Region 0. The classic 1949 film produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the title roles. Samson is the legendary strongman in this story from the Bible who is first seduced and later betrayed by the beautiful Delilah. Samson is known as muscular and fearless in his barehanded battle with a lion, his single-handed assault on 1,000 philistine soldiers, his struggle with a giant and the spectacular climax where he pulls the pagan temple. But even Samson's strength has its weakness as there isn't a man in the world who won't share his secrets with some woman. Most men have been trapped by smiles rather than by ropes. Castaways.

| | Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil DVD (1997) Widescreen
Ghost film
$6.29
Bringing John Berendt's international best-selling novel, MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, to the screen must have been a challenge. The book is essentially an anecdotal travelogue of the fascinating city of Savannah, Georgia. The filmmakers decided to add a character, John Kelso (well played by John Cusack), a writer from New York, who's meant to represent Berendt's point of view. They also put most of the focus of the narrative on the murder trial of local millionaire socialite Jim Williams (the redoubtable Kevin Spacey). This is slightly problematic in that Kelso, a mere observer, now becomes the central character of the film. But director Clint Eastwood (straying from his usual milieu, and, atypically, not appearing the film) and writer John Lee Hancock still manage to capture the quirky spirit of the book. They're greatly aided in this regard by the lush images of cinematographer Jack N. Green and the detailed work of production designer Henry Bumstead, who create just the right atmosphere for the small city and its environs. The strong cast, including actual Savannah residents such as sparkplug transsexual the Lady Chablis, makes the film an enjoyable idyll in a strange yet welcoming place.

When a pair of cousins-by-marriage (Ted Danson and Isabella Rossellini) meet at a family wedding and discover that their own spouses (William Petersen and Sean Young) are carrying on with each other, they decide to pretend to have an affair to get back at them. Their good-natured plan takes on unexpected gravity when they realize they're falling in love with one another. A splendid reworking of the 1975 French comedy COUSIN COUSINE.
