Ghost: A Quick Review






"Ghost" is a very good movie, although it's nomination for Best Picture is kind of strange. It's a great combination of comedy, drama, romance, and fantasy. The cast, which includes Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg is fantastic...great chemistry between the actors. Patrick Swayze plays Sam Wheat, Molly Jensen's (Demi Moore) boyfriend who gets murdered. Whoopi Goldberg is hilarious in her Oscar-winning performance as Oda Mae Brown, the medium who can hear Sam's ghost (hence the title of the movie). It's definitely not as predictable as just about every other movie involving a love story...since most of them are awful. What's even more impressive is that the director of "Ghost" also co-directed "Airplane!"...which is a completely different type of movie for those who have not had the pleasure of seeing "Airplane!"
