9:32 p.m.-2005-01-09 Feh. This movie blew chunks. Only good things were some of the novel camera angles...made parts of it look like a flashy MTV video or something. It was predictable, it was about 30 minutes too long, it drew out too long in the beginning, it used a RL premise and blew it up so out of proportion it was stupid. They shouldn't've even USED the whole EVP phenomenon, IMHO...it had about 2% to do with the movie at all, and didn't reflect the 'reality' of what EVP is. First off...you don't get a lot of EVP on your cellphone. You do NOT use televisions for EVP (that's another phenomenon all together), and Michael Keaton is really showing his age. Let's just leave it at that. The thing was listless, unhappy, and just downright unfun to watch. And this from a guy who LOVES ghost movies! The action was middle of the road at best, Keaton was wooden and some of the other actors were just plain weird or unpleasant to look at (the woman who played the bookstore owner just looks WEIRD...her eyes are too small, and too far up on her face...she was more disturbing to look at than the 'ghosts' were). It was apparently supposed to be set in Seattle, but looked suspiciously like Vancouver, and there weren't ANY Seattle landmarks that I could make out. There certainly isn't any terrain or piers in Seattle that look the way this did! Anyhow, it was watchable, and that was about it. The Captain
