Only difference is the case.......2007-05-10

This is not a new edition of the movie, the only difference is the case is a standard DVD case instead of the cardboard snap kind.

Before making Batman, director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton teamed up for this popular black comedy about a young couple (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) whose premature death leads them to a series of wildly bizarre afterlife exploits. As ghosts in their own New England home, they're faced with the challenge of scaring off the pretentious new owners (Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones), whose daughter (Winona Ryder) has an affinity for all things morbid. Keaton plays the mischievous Beetlejuice, a freelance "bio-exorcist" who's got an evil agenda behind his plot to help the young undead newlyweds. The film is a perfect vehicle for Burton's visual style and twisted imagination, with clever ideas and gags packed into every scene. Beetlejuice is also a showcase for Keaton, who tackles his title role with maniacal relish and a dark edge of menace. --Jeff Shannon

"I'm the ghost with the most babe".......2007-09-04

This is an early film in Tim Burton's career,shortly after Pee Wee's Big Adventure where you get to see his off humor,art and design poured into the film.This is a Tim Burton classic hands down and I love the humor put into the story(spoken or not).Some strong four letter metephores are thrown upon occassion in some of the dialog,so parents beware if you have little ones watching.Other than that,you have an entertaining story of a young couple who die sudenly and are thrown into the world of the dead without a clue of how,why and what to do?Pathetic attempts are made to scare and rid their home of an undesireable yuppie family.In desperation(even after being warned) they decide to employ the gifts and tallents of Beettlejuice,and it turns out they get more than they bargined for.I only wish there was more screen time with Michael keaton/Beettlejuice,it is damn funny.While the living mingle with the dead in an effort to make a circus of their "paranormal hosts" Beetlejuice is put into action again by Lydia to save them.So,"say it once,say it twice...third time is the charm!"Experience Beettlejuice for yourself,and if you are a Tim Burton fan or new to his films,you are in for a real treat.

It's Just So Gross!.......2007-08-19

I grew up with this movie. At first I thought it had no plot, and was just a series of gross random events where Beetlejuice does bad stuff. Now I realize that it does have a plot, and a very good one. I don't recall any other movie where ghosts have trouble trying to scare living people out of a house and have to hire another ghost who claims to be an expert. However, after this set-up happens, THAT'S when the movie becomes a series of gross random events where Beetlejuice does bad stuff.

Whenever someone mentions Beetlejuice, I think of nothing else but all the weird stuff that's in it. For instance, when the ghosts try to leave the house, they wind up in some crazy desert place where giant sandworms threaten to eat them. The movie doesn't do a great job of explaining where this place is, but I think it's the planet Saturn. Needless to say, since the ghosts can't leave their house, it definitely motivates them to scare away the living people moving in (a bunch of weirdos by the way, so that provides some extra incentive)

Then there's the lost souls room, the guy stretching out his head to look like some sort of chicken, the shrimp cocktail turning into hands, Beetlejuice living in a model of the city, the chalk-drawn door opening up to a portal, and the moving art statues. This movie is just flat-out bizarre. There's so much that's packed into it.

But its kind of a downer that the afterlife is shown as some kind of overly-administrative going to and fro, where you have to read a handbook, wait in an office, talk to a case worker, and do all other kinds of boring things.

Here's the kicker. I work in a funeral home, and this movie STILL grosses me out. Walking dead folks are all over the place. Some sawn in half, others flattened by a truck, and Beetlejuice himself looks to have some kind of mild skin decomposition. But by far the scene that's hardest to stomach is the seance. The ghosts are summoned in their wedding outfits only to grow older and older until they start to fall apart. I should be thankful that they weren't shown as green and bloated throughout the whole movie, since drowning's the thing that killed them.

This is one of the most original and disgusting films you'll ever see. I think everybody should see it once, just to see how bizarrely creative it is. Obviously a whole heck of a lot of work went into it. Beetlejuice himself made me laugh quite a bit, with lines like, "Attention K-Mart shoppers!" but he sure did gross me out a lot too.

I kind of wish Burton would have stayed away from the Halloween type movies and did more stuff like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I've been wanting to see Big Fish for a while, but I heard its not very good.

A bizzare, hilarious and unique movie!!.......2007-07-07

First time I saw this movie...I loved it. Have watched it several times now to catch things I missed the first time. Alec Baldwin and Gena Davis are superb in their acting. Winona Rider also stars and does a wonderful job in her role. This flick is a family one. The 'F' word is said once, though.

Innocuous, innocent, and somewhat idiotic, Disney's bubbleheaded road-movie comedy plays as a farcical remake of the 1976 cult TV-movie melodrama The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. Jake Gyllenhaal is the goodhearted innocent raised in a sort of human Habitrail of plastic rooms and rubber tunnels. To win back the girl of his dreams (Marley Shelton), he steps out of his indoor greenhouse and into a homemade Ziplock bubble suit. It's the usual story: naive innocent bounces down the highway like a beach ball with legs and wins over the wacky supporting cast of soft-hearted bikers, zombielike teenage cultists, and orphaned "freaks" through purity and pluck. The premise wears thin after a while, but Gyllenhaal keeps the film bounding along with goofy innocence and energetic eagerness. Swoosie Kurtz costars as his religious-zealot clinging mom. Watch for Fabio in an inspired cameo. --Sean Axmaker

Description

From the producer of the outrageous AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, BUBBLE BOY is the hilarious, laugh-out-loud comedy about a sheltered young man (Jake Gyllenhaal -- OCTOBER SKY) who breaks all the rules on a wild adventure to get the girl of his dreams! Though he's lived his entire life within the confines of a protective plastic bubble and under the ever-watchful eye of his overprotective mother (Swoosie Kurtz -- GET OVER IT), Jimmy Livingston (Gyllenhaal) never thought that he'd missed out on anything, until the girl next door (Marley Shelton -- VALENTINE, SUGAR & SPICE) ran off to get married in Niagara Falls. With the wedding only days away, Jimmy has no choice but to build a mobile "bubble suit" and set off across the country to stop the wedding and confess his love to her!

Very funny.......2007-06-10

I thought this movie was pretty funny and sometimes sad that someone who was born without immunity would just live in an isolation bubble in his room for mostly his whole life it really must feel like that he's a prisoner his whole life. The bubble boy is headed out to niagra falls to stop a wedding and purpose to a girl he's madly inlove with. He meets alot of people on the road bikers hippies freaks and they all are willing to help bubble boy out. The ending was pretty insane though but has a real happy ending. Did he ever get out of his bubble? see the movie and find out. The only thing I hate is the punk rock music in this movie I hate punk rock I would not buy the sound track I would Buy the movie.

Perfectly paced farce!.......2007-02-08

This was just a great time, a farce with perfect timing and pitch--crazy characters all around doing expected and sometimes unexpected things. Brought all the parties together nicely at the end, and used well the opportunity to poke fun at just about everybody. Jakey's goofy grin, bedroom eyes and overall innocence... what a killer combo! The "$500!" back-and-forth sequences had me on the floor, and I don't know how they did that with a straight face.

Great Movie.......2007-01-12

"Five Hundred Dollars!" This movie is a classic. I can sum it up in one word, "Beetlejuice". Not the movie, the actor who gained fame (?) on Howard Stern. He cracks me up. The cast as a whole takes the premise of the movie seriously and that leads to some over the top performances, especially the mother as played by Swoosie Kurtz. Sit Down, Press Play, and Start Laughing.

Silly...but so very funny.......2006-11-19

I finally got over my snobbery to actually watch this movie and I'm so glad that I did. True the premise get a little old somewhere around the middle, but Gyllenhaal keeps you interested and emotionally invested--a sign of a truelly good actor. Warning: you need to be in a goofy mood to enjoy this film. Recommended.

Great Casting Choice, Very Funny Movie.......2006-06-18

This movie is an underated comedy that deserves more credit that it recieved when it came out in theaters. Critics were quick to stomp all over this movie because of the so-called insensitivity to bubble community. Everytime a movie comes out all different kinds of groups have to come out and spoil something great. This movie has a great story line and an amazing cast. Of course Swoozie as the over protective mom just made this movie even better as it went on. Jake does comedy very well and brings this bubble boy character to life. See the movie and judge for yourselves.

The Goonies AND Beetlejuice?.......2007-09-08

This is an admittedly weird paring, but well worth checking out if you're a fan of 80's fantasy films. The Goonies is certainly a little dated (I didn't realize how much time the kids spent shouting nearly unintelligible and always unfunny adlibs) but satisfying to anyone who grew up on the film. Beetlejuice still holds up well, probably due to the great art direction and music. Both are great for little kids looking for spooky movies that won't traumatize them for life (both titles are PG-rated).

Great pairing.......2004-06-10

Hey hotshot:

Beetlejuice is rated PG.

This coupling is an excellent idea. Both films are original and have cult followings.

Charlie Rose Interview with Cher.......2007-03-09

As a collector of Cher's music I enjoyed the DVD. A suprise that the interviewer had not done enough research and was unaware that Cher had a son. This did not do the great lady justice and was a bad oversight.
