#GHOST PATRICK SWAYZE DVD 1080P#
Going from the memory of a handful of partial viewings of the 2009 Blu-ray - this 1080p transfer from a new 4K restoration is a notable improvement. The disc loads to a static image main menu with traditional navigation options. Pressed on a BD-50 disc, the disc is housed in a clear case with cardboard slipcover that opens up to reveal the classic original poster art. Ghost arrives on Blu-ray for the second time now as a member of the Paramount Presents line with spine number: 8. I'm willing to bet you'll be swept up into it in no time at all. If it's been a while since you last sat down to Ghost - give it another run. I love the man in Road House but let's be honest. Without hesitation, this is the best performance of his career.

Whoopi Goldberg obviously stood out winning her Oscar, Demi Moore delivered one of her better 90s turns, while Patrick Swayze demonstrated his full range. It's suspenseful without being a run-of-the-mill revenge movie.
It's funny without letting the comedy overpower the show.
#GHOST PATRICK SWAYZE DVD MOVIE#
He has actual unfinished business - like solving his own murder!ģ0 years on, Ghost may not be the best movie ever made, it's still a little clunky and relies on a lot of conveniences to propel the mystery angle along, but it's still a good movie. Here Swayze's Sam has a genuine reason for roaming around. Just about every medical drama show is required to try it - or a third-person documentary episode - and it's always lame. M*A*S*H even did a similar plot with a ghost running around the camp waving around the cast's faces shouting "why can't you see me!" - I hate that trope. Really if you get right down to the nuts and bolts of this movie, it's Always with a plot and a purpose and not a needless remake with a wasted cast. What I really enjoy about Ghost is how well Bruce Joel Rubin's screenplay manages the disembodied spirit trope. I also appreciate that as an executive producer for The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear he wasn't above parodying the infamous pottery foreplay scene. Turns out the man had a knack for managing romance, suspense, drama, with a dash or two of comedy. I get Jerry Zucker wanting to break out of his comedic comfort zone and try something different. By my figure, it's been the better part of 20 years since I actually sat down and watched this movie from beginning to end and I'm actually rather glad to report it holds up. When the Blu-ray dropped I rented it and hardly glanced through it. My family had this on VHS and it'd be on from time to time, but when DVD hit I skipped it. I went into the theater a cynical little shit of a kid and came out begrudgingly admitting that I enjoyed myself. Having seen Witness several times by that point in my life and that Maurice Jarre score certainly tugged the heartstrings. It had horror elements as sam exacted revenge for his death. It had comedy thanks to a great turn from Whoopi Goldberg. It had thriller elements to keep the excitement going. It was more than a schmaltzy ghost romance. I may not have been the target demographic when I saw this, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy myself. My older sister got to pick the movie so off we went with my mother. I was eight years old when I saw Ghost in theaters, and believe me, that was the last place I wanted to be. As he pieces together the motive behind his murder, Sam turns to Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), a charlatan psychic who can actually hear him. Murdered in an apparent mugging, Sam's soul is trapped on earth with unfinished business. Everything is going right - until it goes very wrong. A financial wizard in charge of accounts worth millions, he just renovated a massive loft apartment with his girlfriend Molly (Demi Moore). Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) is a man on the rise with everything going for him.
