Movie 1: The Deliverance
Inspired by actual events, this horror story focuses on an Indiana family and their haunted home. Lee Daniels directs a very tense and very well acted drama, which also borders on addiction, racism and poverty. Glen Close is amazing. While national critics found this movie just so-so, we very much enjoyed it. On Netflix.

Movie 2: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
The original 1988 Beetlejuice was a huge hit and launched the careers of director Tim Burton and several movie stars. While this latest version has raked in a ton of money in its first weekend (including ours) we found it dull, confusing and more than a little disappointing. Maybe it would have helped to see the original again before seeing this one?? We will say the cinematography is very creative and the soundtrack a lot of fun. But that’s about it.

Movie 3: Rebel Ridge
Recently released on Netflix, this is an excellent thriller about corruption and racism in a small Louisiana town. The acting, writing, action and directing are all first rate. Not having seen Don Johnson in a while, he portrays the perfect, stereotypical Southern police chief. Very entertaining.

Thanks for the reviews.
Aw, nuts. I was hoping that Beetlejuice would be a great funny movie. Sounds like I wait until I can watch it free on the airplane. Thanks for the review!
