The lovely Mrs. Sneed and I went to see the new movie, Ghost Town, starring Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni. It was rather pleasant if your intention in seeing it is to be entertained. High art, it ain't. But what can you expect from a movie that stars Ricky Gervais, who can only play himself and Greg Kinnear who is always the same character (maybe himself)? It was predictable, but it was also a pleasant hour and a half. Ghost Town is the latest in the series of movies in which the plot involves a dead person, who must help a mortal in order to move on to 'somewhere', presumably heaven. I can think of several other movies with this motif (is that the right word?). 1. It's a Wonderful Life 2. Heaven Can Wait (original and remake) 3. Angels in the Outfield (original and remake). 4. A Guy Named Joe 5. Michael. Can you think of more? Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky
