Film 244/365, Day 258/365 – Beetlejuice

It’s a classic, there is no doubt about that.  Whether it is as good as I remember it however sadly is in doubt.  It is still funny, although it doesn’t really get going until Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice springs onto the scene.  It’s funny and incredible distinctive but sadly not quite as good as I remember.

Synopsis:  Barbara and Adam were very happy with their life right up until they died in a road accident.  Now that they are dead they are having a hard time adjusting to things, one thing in particular is the new family moving into their house.  They’ve almost given up when Beetlejuice, an expert in removing the living, offers them some help.

Film 131/365, Day 141/365 – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Cool and Confident.  Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a classic ‘80s film complete with the same soundtrack as ever other ’80s comedy, which is great. ‘baa bom bom, chic chic-chicah’, you know the one.  Also enjoyed seeing a young Charlie Sheen with his truth bullets for Ferris’ sister.  It certainly was funny, although I think had I seen it earlier in my life I would have connected with it more.

Synopsis:  Ferris is sick and won’t be at school today!  Alright, he’s not sick but he is going to have a day off and he is going to make the most of it.  With Cameron, his best friend, and Sloane, his girlfriend there is nothing that Ferris cannot do or get away with.
