WARNER HOME VIDEO Beetlejuice Blu-ray

What are a bunch of yuppie spooks to do when their 'quaint' New England retreat is overrun by trendy New Yorkers? They hire a freelance 'bio-exorcist' to scare off the invaders! And everyone gets much more than he, she or it had dared hope for! Director Tim Burton (Batman, Mars Attacks!) pokes fun at Michael Keaton (Night Shift, Batman). The result? "Keaton's Beetlejuice is one of the biggest, angriest wolves ever allowed to roam a ghost movie, a downright poltergast" (The Village Voice). He is a war monger, packed with jokes, gags and grimaces who fires off lavish one-liners, takes on grotesque forms, eats bugs and can't keep his hands to himself when a woman (alive or dead) passes by. His wild acting in this film and in Clean and Sober earned Keaton the 1988 Best Actor Award from the National Society of Film Critics. Brilliant supporting roles include Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Sylvia Sidney and for the film's prodigious dressing, soundtrack of Harry Belafonte songs and Oscar-winning Best Makeup.
