We watched BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE on Max last night, and it was astoundingly unfunny. I think I chuckled once during the entire overlong film. I cannot fathom why Tim Burton crafted so much of the film around the Charles Deetz character, since the actor who played him in the original is a Hollywood pariah due to his child porn conviction. His face was ll over the film, which was...weird, to say the least. What did Tim Burton's girlfriend Monica Bellucci have to do with anything, aside from getting a paycheck? Why was Willem Dafoe there? Who knows? Michael Keaton was fun to watch, but this was just a shitty, shitty cash grab. Ugh.

Really? They used his likeness?
If that is true I am not shocked. Hollywood protects it's own.

A Sound of Thunder. I ran across this one on Prime. A 2005 film supposedly based on a Ray Bradbury story. I don't recall ever reading this story so I have no idea if it is similar or not.
I time traveling sci-fi action film which deals with how the slightest change to the past can dramatically change our current existence. The first half of the film was well done, with an interesting set-up, fun dialogue, and background building. The 2nd half, and after the past has been changed, became a bit of a slog but still enjoyable enough.
Overall I fun 102 minutes of a movie. Nothing heavy and just a fun little ride. 3.75 stars out of 5.
For me this captured Bradbury pretty effectively and left me feeling like I went on a little adventure.
