Review – Beetlejuice

There’s a fair amount of charm in this Tim Burton film about a ghostly couple (Geena Davis, who’s never been more tolerable, and one of the Baldwins) trying to get rid of the new tenants of their house. I guess that Michael Keaton, as the “bio-exorcist” title character, is supposed to be the star of this film, but the real star is probably the art direction (a little past Pee-wee’s Big Adventure but not quite all the way to The Nightmare Before Christmas). Oh, and unless I’m mis-remembering things, this isn’t the movie that first gave us Winona Ryder, but it is the one that first put her on the map. Worth seeing
