Beetlejuice

(1988)

Bonus Halloween-season screening, since I got a late start, and to prepare myself for anther over-the-top Keaton performance tomorrow, but I gotta say: surprised how bland and unfunny this is. Yes, the involuntary calypso scene is wonderful, and Keaton's commitment can't be denied, and it's a hoot to see Goulet and Cavett as self-important assholes, but it's just not a very interesting pic. It's as if Burton is trying too hard to give us something Burtonesque. Sorry.
