Summary: If you like the funny and bizzare, than you'll love this.
Review: I really enjoy this movie because I am into the kind of humor this film displays. If you like movies about weird and unusual things you will like this film also. In the film a young married couple are in a car accident that sends them to their death. Not realizing that they are dead they return home in their ghost form to report the accident. Upon their arrival to their home they understand that something is not right. Things seem different in their quiet New England home. After all of these happenings, the movie turns into an odd comedy about the dead attempting to get help from other ghosts to be able to survive and understand the "tricks of the trade" so to speak, of being ghosts. Eventualy their pathes cross with a trouble making ghost named "Beetlejuice" who for a price will help them get rid of the big city occupants of their home they once lived in. Well, thats all I will tell you. I don't want to spoil the rest of this movie for you. Hope you like it! END

Summary: On Being Dead
Review: This is one of my most favorite movies. I'm ashamed at my self. Because it took me so long to finally get it on DVD. This is truly one of the most funniest movies about being dead.
Barbara and Adam, are a young couple who die in an accident. Their house is bought by another couple whom they have nothing in common with.
But when Barbara and Adam start to like the father's daughter Lydia. They start to question wither or not scaring the family off, is really what they want.

Summary: Truly "The Ghost With the Most...Babe"
Review: Michael Keaton shines here as Beetlejuice. I just remembered him being in the film more than the short 15 minutes or so that he was. This is truly a memorable and funny performance. This is one of Tim Burton's best and it really plays to his strenghts. Add this one to your collection and watch it every Halloween.

Summary: A Movie You'll Certainly Enjoy
Review: Tim Burton outdoes himself in this film. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis star as Adam and Barbara Maitland, who buy a house out in the country and take a drive into town that turns out to be a bit farther than they expect. They have an accident over a bridge that scares them considerably. When they return to their house, as they later discover, they didn't survive the crash. They are left to haunt the house they bought, and they can't even leave it because if they do, they are liable to be eaten by a monster sandworm.

Enter the Detz family: entrepreneurial Charles (Jeffrey Jones), self-absorbed abstract sculptor Delia (Catherine O'Hara), and their morbid daughter Lydia (Wynona Ryder). They buy the Maitland house. Delia plans to remodel it completely, but Charles and Lydia are content to leave things as they are.

The Maitlands are determined to get their house back, but their attempts at haunting come across more as entertainment than as fright. They discover someone by the name of Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton), who turns out to be a former bureaucrat with a grudge and a desire for revenge. His manner makes them suspicious, and after giving him one chance, they decide not to deal with him further.

Now caught in a situation that leaves them with the Detzes in their house and with no help from their caseworker or from Betelgeuse, the Maitlands are not sure what they can do. They attempt more radical measures at the same time that the Detzes plan to stage an evening of the supernatural. Otho (Glen Shadix) takes charge of the ceremony largely to show off, but then things get out of control and he does not know what to do. It becomes obvious that he was never in control. At this point, Betelgeuse steps in and takes over.

While Betelgeuse does indeed stop the ceremony from ending in disaster, he also tries to turn it into a shotgun wedding. The only thing that he is afraid of is a sandworm, and that's the only thing that will really stop him. The film does end happily, however, with both the Maitlands and the Detzes both living in the house together, and Lydia ends up more than happy having her ghost friends on hand to nurture her morbid sense of reality.

Summary: say it one more time
Review: How can you ignore a movie with Michael Keaton as a exorcist demon ghost and Winona Ryder as a gothgirl? Great music, great fun, great effects with one criticism.....the ending sucks with all it's joy and happiness? What's with that?
If you like scary, funny films with an all star cast that actually perform to their abilities, then Beetlejuice will deliver to the max!

Summary: Absolutely Delightful
Review: i didn't rent this movie for a very long time because i have a dangerous obsession with Winona Ryder (i love her so deeply. SHE'S MINE!). i usually can't watch her movies because of it. but i decided to make an exception and rent this--hoping it wouldn't drive me crazy seeing her. well, i must admit that i did quite well. not to mention i've now seen a great movie! i know you don't care about my life and the obsessions that go on within it, so i will just tell you of the movie and try not to talk about Winona (...okay, i think i'm ready.)...
Beetlejuice is not really the tale of Beetlejuice. he is a main character in the story, but he is the villain. a young couple dies early in the movie right after they arrive at their beloved home. now they are ghosts. some new people move in, and the couple doesn't like this; they still want the house to be theirs. so they try to scare them away by haunting the house. but it doesn't work. so when they see some ads for a man named "Betelguese" (well, its spelled something like that anyway) they call upon him for help. it turns out that he's one of the punks from the afterlife and only causes trouble. winona plays the daughter of the family that has moved in since the original couples death. she's the only one that can see the dead ones (since she's weird, gothic, smart, talented, loveable in every way, unbareably sexy, so friggin hot...dammit. i did it again.). the storyline is a very interesting one that brings up very strange yet fun ideas about death and the afterlife. but this IS a comedy. i figured it would be a remotely black comedy, but for the most part just a weird film. it is quite weird, but it is also quite funny. michael keaton did a great job as the Juice. they should've put a little more of him in. as for the rest of the cast, they either act very well or are so silly that they're perfect for such an off-center comedy. just watch this one for a few good laughs and some very creative ideas about the afterlife. enjoyable to all that are a bit off.

Summary: Best Tim Burton film. He should just stick to this format.
Review: In beetlejuice I was entirely sucked into this dream like film. The afterlife was a complete quirk, and if it hadn't been accredited to, I would have known already who had directed it. It felt like Batman in it's tone, in its wet darkness, and then the cubistic art world of the urban. I always feel like I'm drawn into the mind of a deeply rooted "pure abstract" painters mind. I love the demensions of his creativity. He takes risks also, something I don't see enough of in his latest works. I always feel like it's halloween after watching this film. In fact it's a sort of tradition to watch this film, along with "a nightmare before christmas", around halloween time. Nothing gets me into the mode better. An ecclectic scare, with a foolishness appropriate enough to remind you of the cartoon.
