"Ghost Graduation" (2012)

In Spanish, mostly, (and I believe set in Spain) except for a few English pop songs and once when the teacher says that Shakespeare should be read in English instead of Spanish and attempts to speak a few lines in English from the Hamlet's ghost scene.  The English songs were "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (turn around ... turn around ... turn around ...), "Saturday Night", and "Surfer Bird" ("Everybody's heard, about the bird ... bird is the word, bird, bird, bird, bird is the word...).  There were Spanish songs to.  So, it was a sub title movie.

The premise of the plot is a "done before" one, but since it takes its time, there's enough "what is this version going to do?" to keep watching to see how this one is going to go.

The "humor" I didn't find funny.  Thankfully, it wasn't "stupid" humor.  Instead, the humor played to "mature audiences only"--just enough to be rated for such, but the movie didn't center on it, so it wasn't too bad to ignore it.  There really wasn't any other kind of humor.  It was mainly "for mature audiences only".  And if you prefer family friendly, then you can skip this movie.  If you enjoy the mature humor or if you don't mind looking past it, then the plot is actually enjoyable.  I wish they'd scaled back some of the visuals, but that's me.

So, why did I start watching it?  Teacher helps ghosts.  Others don't believe teacher sees ghosts.  I thought it would be a nice twist/variation on teacher helps students.  It was.  Sort of.  So even though I didn't like the mature humor and mature visual humor etc., the plot was decent enough for me to watch to the end.  That does say something.

Now I'm ready to watch something with better values.  Christians need to make more movies or need to have more Christians involved in movie making.

"Show Boat" (1951)

Nice music.  I know "Old Man River" sung by Paul Robeson was in it, but was happily surprised that I recognized a couple other tunes.  Cotton Candy colors for set and a lot of the costumes.  Wasn't sure where and how the story was going to end.  Certainly a show that's better left just focusing on the music.  Although, I also kept wondering how the gals managed to sing in corsets.  And, yes, the dangers of marrying a gambler.
