Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

call me crazy but i LOVED this! after years of cgi slop, this is such a return to form for tim burton. you can really feel that his heart was in this one. there is so much genuine wit, inventiveness and emotion here, just like the first film.

the whole time i kept thinking about how this film succeeds everywhere the hocus pocus sequel failed. where that film felt hollow and unnecessary, this one genuinely adds to the world of the first. i love how the undead world was expanded (soul train made me HOWL). i love the evolution of lydia as an adult. it had things to say about the characters and where we left them in the original. 

LOVE THE PRACTICAL EFFECTS AND PRODUCTION DESIGN! TIM PLS PUT THE GREEB SCREEN DOWN!

cast was superb - winona really anchored it with her signature blend of moodiness and sincerity. jenna perfectly blended in and added her own spark, michael keaton was a riot as usual. the star is catherine o’hara - ACADEMY PLS BE COOL AND NOMINATE HER! one of the true comedic geniuses of our time!! 

just really happy to see a director i grew up loving making a movie that didn’t suck!
