Ghost has the power to really make you believe.......2008-03-04

This film has helped me through so many bad times. Round about the time this was released on DVD i lost my mum to cancer. This was the last film I watched with her so nowadays it has sentimental value. This is a perfect film to watch if you're depressed as it does make you feel better after you watch it. This is my fave movie ever. I watch this nearly every month because I love the movie so much. This cannot be repeated twice, there can't be a sequel to it, It's a golden tear film (meaning weepie) The power that this film has is unbelievable. If you have lost a loved one then you'd know the power that i'm talking about. The acting is superb. Patrick really does make you believe in this character and this nightmare he is going through and by the end you really do feel the magic that the character goes through. It does really make you wonder what that life beyond death is really like. The romantic side of this film doesn't miss a beat. Patrick and Demi's chemistry is paramount to the story and it doesn't feel faked, it feels real. The inclusion of Whoopi Goldberg's character gives it a lighthearted style humour which by the end has a message to it. Jerry Zucker who recent flicks before this one were Airplane! does a great job mixing the heartfelt sentimentality with the stand out humour that you get when Patrick and Whoopi are together on screen. Whoopi quite rightly deserved that Oscar she got for this role. Her acting was brilliant. Two cast members has been outlooked by every one but without there characters this movie might not have worked. I'm talking about of course Tony Goldwyn as Karl and Rick Aviles as Willie. The subtile acting brings out their most evil side and you are genuinly shocked when you found out he was in on it the whole time. How could you allow your best friend to be murdered? You feel that their just desserts are quite literally deserved after how you see them as and what they had done to Sam. It is scary in some parts and even a little gruesome but the message does still shine through. Love is forever if you believe. By the end yes even i was in floods of tears. That is the power that this one has, to literally bring you to tears. No matter how hard you try, it will always do that. I have watched this time and time again and I still cry buckets at the end, even before the scene even starts, I'm already filling up. The end scene is the standout moment of the film. It is the magic of GHOST. There is no more powerful word than goodbye. Industrial Light and Magic create an effect that pulls at the heartstrings and the acting from the stars pulls even more. The real magic of this scene is Maurice Jarre's powerful soft instrumental theme of Unchained Melody. The soft violins lets the tears flow. It is truly beautiful. Even right now i'm thinking of it and i'm getting a lump in my throat. If you haven't seen this yet, see it now. If you want a great tearjerker, they don't come better than this.

Death doesn't mean the end of love.......2007-12-14

I consider Ghost to be a classic. It's a film that you can watch over and over or once in a blue moon and still be touched by it. It covers so many genres a film has to offer, comedy, action, suspense, romance, the list is endless. Yet with all this, it still manages to be in a class of it's own. It's such a beautiful story, proving that death doesn't mean the end of love, if you believe and remember, love will never die. The cast are fantastic, with the three leads cementing their positions as true stars. Patrick Swayze impresses as Sam, giving a thoughtful performance with many emotionally powerful moments. Demi Moore convinces as Molly, and spends the majority of the film with tears running down her face, which actually became quite funny in it's own right. As Oda Mae Brown, Whoopi Goldberg is sensational, providing great laughs and a perfect performance. On the whole, the film keeps you mesmerised from beginning to end. It never hits a boring moment, it just flies by and you're left wondering where the last two hours went. It really is that good. Ghost is a film that I'll never forget, seamlessly blending every kind of film together to make one outstanding one. Definitely up there with the greats.

Timeless classic.......2007-09-13

One of the most beautiful, and fun, love stories of all time.

This film will never age and is a garanteed uplifter for any woman feeling low.

Watched alone with a glass of wine or in the company of others for a chick flick night to remember Ghost is a definate must have for anyone with slushy taste.

It will have you laughing and crying the whole way through

Manipulative Garbage.......2007-09-09

As commercial as they come, a fully primed tearjerker of a movie made with no shame whatsoever! This cast list was really a warning to genuine movie lovers to stay away from this one. Was bound to be an absolute stonking success.

Not particularly exciting.......2000-10-16

What a letdown. There is a token bit of foreplay included, presumably the feminine attractor, but the rest is very amateurish: Bad picture quality (possibly worsened by a bad NTSC->PAL conversion) and a horrid "music"-only soundtrack apparently performed on somebody's Casio pocket synthesizer. We didn't bother watching it through.

Worth the trouble of getting it.......2006-07-28

Not officially released in Britain, this Pilates DVD is luckily available from other European Amazon sites. The content of this Pilates workout will surely compensate for the trouble of actually ordering it from overseas - I did and was certainly not disappointed; in fact, this is one of my favourite Pilates workouts. Led by one of America's best known dancers and instructors, Jenifer Kries, this is one of the best introductions to pilates that you can get. Jennifer explains the technique of breathing and using your core, and moves onto a series of Pilates and ballet based exercises, which will tone your arms, legs and abs beautifully. The difference in my body was striking after just a month of regular use of this DVD, especially in my upper body - I actually got rid of the "flaps" on my upper arms :) The program is suited for beginners as well as for more advanced levels of Pilates, as Jennifer offers alternatives for the more experienced, so even if you have done Pilates before you will still get a challenging workout out of this. Jennifer is lovely and encouraging, and on top of that, very lean and extermely flexible - just watching her motivates me to exercise, hoping that her level of incredible flexibility can be achieved by doing Pilates on a regular basis. There is no music on the DVD, which I think is lovely, as it allows me to concentrate on what I am doing and listening to the instructor's instructions. The workout is over an hour long, intensely stretches and works all muscle groups, including your back muscles (and how many exercise DVDs offer that?) and, what is best, is not excessively exhausting, but provides wonderful effects nonetheless.
