Beetlejuice

Directed by Tim Burton in 1988, this comedy tells the story of a recently deceased ghost couple  that contact a 'bio-exorcist' in order to remove the obnoxious new owners of their house. 

It stars Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the Maitlands, Winona Ryder as Lydida Deetz and Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice. 

One of - I think - the less known Tim Burton movies. It's also one of his first full-length movies. And it's pure Tim Burton style. 

The story is funny and well developed. The Maitlands are your typical american loving-couple from the 80's, whereas the Deetz are atypical, and strange and really bizzare. The wife is a modern artist, the father want's just peace and quiet but can't leave his work behind him and the daughter is a goth girl who can see ghosts. 

If you ask me the only thng you have to take out of the movie is Beetlejuice. I think you either love the guy or you hate him. I hate him. I don't find him funny and whatching the movie in spanish didn't help. I swear in the 80's there where only 4 spanish dubbers, you hear the same freaking voices in every movie. 

Anyway. The best thing of the movie is the visual part. As I said before Beetlejuice is your pure Tim Burton movie with it's bizzare buildings - the Maitland's house has only 10 windows, and it ends up looking in the inside more like a grave than a real house. The collors are saturated and bright with loads of black and white and strange lights. And then comes the stop-motion animation, which is, like allways pure awesomeness. 

BEETLEJUICE TRAILER

All in all a very decent movie, with a good script, funny moments, great music by Danni Elfman and awesome stop-motion. Please don't watch it doubled in spanish.
