    The Canterville Ghost

    ★★★

    I found two versions of this film on Prime, one with Alyssa Milano from 1986 and this one from 1996 with Neve Campbell. I opted to watch this one for Neve Campbell and Patrick Stewart.
    This movie was good, but it seemed it did not know what it wanted to be. A light-hearted ghost story or a dark and tragic tale. It was good, but had a few weaknesses, namely the father. He was really unlikable in this movie until the very end.
    Patrick Stewart does an excellent job using his Shakespearean voice here! It was like watching him say his lines on the stage!

    Bad acting and bad CGI sharks. It is funny to see Michael Madsen's overacting alone in a room, though. So much intensity.

    Other than that there really isn't much here to enjoy.

    I kept postponing watching this. I've been disappointed in the past with the last two Predator films. If you haven't seen this yet, you need to watch it now!

    This was an excellent film. Everything worked here. The acting was excellent, the effects were very well used. The setting was beautiful. And that score, perfect. It evoked The Last of the Mohicans, which is a movie I loved.

    I really loved the callback, "If it bleeds, we can kill it". Perfect. This is what I wanted Predators to be.
