I just went through and rewatched the entire Rocky saga before catching Creed II in theatres. And watching back to back to back you realize just how consistently good this series was. Oh, there's the odd misstep (looking at you, Rocky V) but mostly solid to outstanding films.
This presentation is great, really enhanced the images and made me realize just how crapy my old VHS copies were.

Disappointed that Paramount couldn't see clear to give us a bit more for the 20th anniversary of this classic movie. No special features, no digital copy. Bummed. But the cool box makes up for it. Love these steel books.

Great picture and sound quality, the film misses out on a full five stars for--well honestly, not going far enough. Elton needed something more akin to the bombastic Baz Lurhman to direct.

Casper was supposed to be the next big thing when it came out, and while it made a bit of a ripple, it became fairly obvious fairly quickly that it was NOT going to be the next big thing.
Most of the issues stem from the plot, of a ghost psychiatrist who helps those with unfinished business cross over (but in reality is desperately searching for his departed wife--not giving any consideration to the idea that IF she was to haunt from beyond the grave she'd do it at home) getting roped into exorcising a trio of troublesome spooks from a house that reportedly hides buried treasure within it's walls.
The treasure refers to the life restoration machine that an inventor hoped to use on his son, Casper, another dead inhabitant of the house. (At least we get his backstory though. The Uncle's deaths are never explained.)
Cathy Moriarty and Eric Idol are funny as a pair of bickering... well I'm not sure what their relationship is exactly, whose back and forth is funny, but mean-spirited and age-inappropriate for the target audience. In fact, a LOT of the humor is aimed higher than the target audience, evidenced by the superb cameos.
And don't get me started on the weird, slightly creepy crush Casper develops for Christina Ricci. He's like what, EIGHT?
It's one part Ghostbusters, one part the Haunting, one part the Addams Family, one part Hocus Pocus, with a dash of Back to the Future and Always thrown in for good measure.
In the end, all that adds up to just a little bit too much going, which is a shame, because it strives to be a relatively cute, relatively funny, relatively inoffensive family movie.
I was looking for a few "kid-friendly" horror movies to introduce the Granddaughter to and hit upon Casper. only $5, had both the Blu-Ray AND Digital copies. Done Deal.

The quest for one last box of Twinkies. I'd honestly forgotten how good and much fun this was. It's a silly Zombie comedy, sure. but it has high energy, a good cast (plus Bill Murray), and a surprising lesson about family. It's the little things but enjoy them.
The 4K presentation is crisp and clear picture with a great sound mix. And I love the fact that we returned to the original art for the steelbook.
