Casper
This is my review on Casper from the distant future year of 1995 (When the Sega Saturn came out)
Its directed by Brad Silberling who did lemony snicket, city of angels and land of the lost
its got bill pullman from space balls,, christina ricci from sleepy hollow, joe alaskey from tiny toons, brad garret from everybody loves raymond, eric idle from transformers the movie, judging amy chick from that show, ben stein from ferris bueler
and cameroes by dan aykroyd, mr rogers, clint eastwood, rodney dangerfield, melvin chaim goldstein (better known by his film actors guild name, mel gibson), the guy who dows the cryptkeeper and jess harness from anianiacs
i saw this years ago and thought it wss cool but aparently everyone sez it s-cked
i did like the fox kids cartoon in the 90s based on it and that had some good stuff in it
Its based on a comic book from the 40s or we and i recall the 60s show or w/e which was a normal 20th century kids show
huh, ben stien was also in the richie rich movie
the harvy movie universe??
so it starts with 2 90s kids breaking and entering into this big a55 house like edward scissorhands or something
it looks like the house in the haunting remake from the 90s
they wanna take a picture with a poloroid but a ghost takes it for em and they split
then title
then ben stein reads the will of this rich chick's dad wholeft most of his cashh to animal cr-p and gave her a house thats cr-ppy
she throws the deed in the fireplace but it turns on the invisible ink and it sez theres a treasure there
so they go there and they meet the ghost who freaks em out and their screams wake up the other ghosts
later they get a priest to get the ghosts out and he gets his head turned around
even the ghost busters cant get them out
so she trys to have it town down to gte da trezure and the ghosts scare the guys off
so kasppar wants a friend and sees a tv thing of dr harvey and his teen daughter kat whodeal with ghos5t mentaol health
i mean we got animal psychologists so this isnt eactly unheard of
annd he helfs da ghosts resolve their unfinished business (universal soldier?) and move on to the next life
remember that ashow Dead Last with the fat guy from breaker high? with that rock band helping ghosts move on?
did they rip off this?
so kat is duisgruntled as teen ggirls can't bbe happy in movvies and her dad is trying to be good
also he wants to find his woman's ghost
remembber splatterhouse 2? rick goes to h-ll and back to save his chick
so the harvey's come by and move into the house and casper has a 0ner for kat
so eventually casper meets kat and she blax out and freaks out when she wakes up and after casper flees, she tells dad who acts like its no big deal, until he sees c boy and freaks out
then the other ghosts come out and goof around and send casper flying and dr harvvy dent comes out and is tormented by em
they crawll down his moth anfd posess him and in da mirror he sees clint eastwood, rodney dangerfiend and mel gibson, tthenn the ceryptkeeper
after getting em outthey f with him in not horrofying ways sorta like a buster keaton movie
so he traps em in a vacuum like its luigi's mansion and kat meets and befreinds casper who se hes made of the tingley feeling in ur feet when they fall asleep
also he's got a breakfast machine like he's doc brown or pee wee herman
so doc harvy coms in and casper goes to get him da paper and the other ghosts come in singing ride of the valkyries cuz they're from the 1800s or w/e
also they didn't know about vacuums so maybe
at school, at meets a 90s blonde guy named vic like hes from FMA and Broly and a blonde rival cu all teen girls hate the popular blonde chick
at school the dance is gonna be moved but when they find out kat lives in the haunted mansion, they vote to go there instead of blonde rivals place
latr the ghosts are being mind shrunk by doc harvey and they say they know his womana and get him to keep someone from them (i think the rich chick) to let him reunite with her
but its really the fat oone faking being a chick who smooches him and has big jiggley cgi t-ts
they go ing to turn you doc har vey! they're go ing to turn you!
so vic askes kat to something but its a scheme by blonde
casper hits on kat and she isnt into naecrophilia so he beefs up and carrys her off to a lighthouse w/o consent
he sez he doont recall being alive andtthey talk while on a lighthouse roof looking at the ocan like all these movies
at home, kat worrys about forgetting her mom and recalls good memories
its kindda nice and has good feels
latter she wants dad to get her a costune and she dont wanna be cute but look date nice
in degrasi net gen; manny was tired of being ccute and wanted tolook hot and went around in thongs and low ridse jeans, when not going commando!!
soo after implying she knows about b0ning bt didnt do anything yet, its revealed shethey havent got paid yet
i gotta say, the cg holds up pretty well as its not trying to fake reality buut rather be sorta cartoony
so tthe ghosts see doc harvey korman packing up and probably gonna leave so they ttake him drinking
booze in a movie based on a kids thing? they cant do that today, but j-rkin off, b0ning, chronic and being a bootty boy is ok
so casper and kat find a place wiith stuff from casters old life and they fiind a dress owned by caspers mom or w//e
casper gets viet nam flash backs of riding a sled wwhen his dad told him not toannd he died of pneumonia
that hit me
its prettty powerful
its subtle, but the performsnce is good
he stayed behind to keep his dad company and they find newspaper clps saying his dad was haunted by his son and made a machine to bring him back
thy go through the passages in the house andd find the Lazarus and a weird tim burton machine of riding a chair through thee lite blue lit areas and giing through an auto set up of shaving and tooth brushing and stuff
also rrich chick and erich idol are following
so caspers dad was an inventor like tesla or edison or Dr Juzo Kabuto and casper sez the door behind em is da vault, which the rich chick hears
they turn it on and up rises this big a55 thing and casper sez it brings ghosts back to life with this red ooze
bbtw, casper se biting it is like being born backwards
so stuffed into a womb?
alsso; ur alive for 9 months wiggling around in there b4 ur mom poops u out
so kat uses the machine on kasper andit turns him into a cooked egg
so rich chick trys to ice erich iodl so he can be a ghost and go in da vault, but she falls off a cliff andd bites it
meanwhile, da ghosts wanna ice doc to have him join em andd he drunkenly smooches em saying he loves emm
they cant ice him but he falls off a thing and bites it
so rich ghost and billy idol go after kat and casper bbut they get away and she welcomes in the guests for tthe halloween patty that has little impact on the plot
rich chick ghost and idol get the tresaure in a box but eric black males her to want more cash
she kills him by throwing him out a windoww but casper gets her toadmit shes got no unfinished business and she goes to h e double california
te treasure turns out to be aa baseball sogtned by duke snider who was his fave player (who was pplaying in da 50s so that kinda places caspers dates)
the ghosts come back with the dad from independence day 2 as a ghodst adkat reawakes his memories like pann with goku in dbgt as a gold ape
casper uses the machine to revive her dad like grampa ghoann i mean master roshi in dragon ball evolution (even though his corpse is out there and this gave him a new body)
so kat goes back to the party despite having the dead eriic von stroheim idol outside and blonde and vic are teaming up to fakee being a ghost to scare the kids
buut the ghosts pop in, freak em out and they run
what useful characters
so casper is feeling bummed about stating a ghost and kats moms ghost coomes down and sez caspers dad is proud off him and he gets to be rewarded forr his sacrifice by turnig human until 10 pm
casper dances with kat anddr harvey weinstein gets a visit from his wife who sez she hhad no unfinished bbusiness so she went on annd comforts him and gives him advice
so is there heaven in here? is there h-ll? Reincarnation?
actually that reunion was kinda moving
then its 10 pm (was he only human for 5 mins?)and shhe goes on to tthe next world and casper kisses her and turns ghost, which freaks out the kids who run
then the ghosts play a dancier version of the caaper theme song and the kat, harvey and casper dance
thhen credits and wtf, written by shrri stoner and deabnne oliver?
from animaniaccs?!
no wonder it was good!!
the end
well, that was actually good
its got heart, fun, edge and charn
it holds up and has a good 90s feel that i likee
its only pg for some minor swearing, but nothing worse than the simpsons, and some vviolence, but not as bad as bugs bunny
its a nice 90s film and has a good floww and feel
it dont srag and while not much happens, its not boring
and tthe musuc was wonderful
for casper 2 I want it to be abot Kat dealing with people fearimg her at school as the boy she kissed turned ghost and they think she sucked out his life force. Also they start thinking shes a daemon and try to wack her and she has to fight em. Casper equips to her as Ghost Armor and gives her a power boose and she goes through the school wailing on the other kids to get em to stop trying to ice her. Its also a 16 bit action game on Snes, Sega Genesis, TG16, Atari Jaguar and GBA where u play as Kat and solve puzzles with Casper equipped and beat guys up.
