good movie

For accuracies sake..They are driving into the sunset on Ponchatrain bridge (north of New Orleans, LA).....Only problem....the bridge runs north-south...and NOT east to west...so they couldn't possibly be driving into the sunset...or the sunrise, for that matter

Just wanted to point that out.....but hey, it's only a movie

quick service!

This is one of my granchildren's favorite movies.They have been to
disneyland and love the ride. It is not too scary, either. I looked for it in stores, but since it is an older movie, it couldn't be found. I saw it online for $19.95 plus shipping, but then I found one through Amazon.com for $1.99! It shipped quickly and was in good condition.

The Haunted Mansion (Full Screen Edition)

Realtor workaholic Jim Evers and his wife and business partner Sara gets a call late one night from mansion owner Edward Gracey, who is looking to sell his property. Smelling the biggest deal of their career, Jim, Sara and their two children pay a visit to the mansion, located on a remote bayou. A torrential thunderstorm of mysterious origin strands the Evers family in the old mansion with the brooding, eccentric Gracey, his mysterious butler, Ramsley, and a variety of residents both seen and unseen. At first Jim scoffs at Gracey's stories about ghosts and hauntings, until he unearths the mystery of the mansion and finds that his wife Sara has unexpected connections to its haunted past. This is a fun movie for kids, and amusing for adults, and a fun performance by Murphy and the kids.

Charming and fun

OK, we all know this is a kids movie, but it is fun and Eddie Murphy is charming as the too-busy husband and father who is forced to realize how important his family is. Anyway who can listen to Eddie Murphy's laugh and not grin? Great fun and easy to enjoy. Not great art, but entertaining! Typical non-animated Disney fare, with a good moral for everyone who watches, and great special effects.

Lush production design and sparkling special effects make The Haunted Mansion pretty to look at. Terence Stamp (The Limey), as a malevolent ghost of a butler, provides a suitable air of menace as dematerializes to and fro. Marsha Thomason (Black Knight) is lovely as a real estate agent hired to sell a haunted mansion, but in truth the ghostly owner of the mansion believes she is the reincarnation of his lost love. Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with Andre) and Dina Waters (Six Feet Under) make a modestly amusing comic pair as a ghostly husband and wife who bustle about. Jennifer Tilly (Bound), as a green disembodied head in a crystal ball, glitters appropriately. The movie also features endless clichés, futile attempts at humor, and Eddie Murphy. If you're looking for a movie based on a Disneyland ride, try the very clever Pirates of the Caribbean instead. --Bret Fetzer
