Blithe Spirit is gentle British romantic comedy that is based off a play by Noel Coward. Gentle is the key word here, Blithe Spirit is a slow tale that tries to focus on the relationships of the three main characters. Even the humour is quite mild.
There are a few familiar faces in the film but that's no surprise, as the saying goes 'Welcome to England, we have 20 actors, 4 sets and 14 Doctors'.
There was something a bit 'Cheep', I can't quite place my finger on it but there are a few times that the sets look a bit to like sets.
Even from this version you can see how the original is an inspiration for later films such as Ghost.
I you want a slow paced film with an entertaining story and light laughs and totally inoffensive then Blithe Sprit is worth a look.

Mekkin B. (122 KP) is asking for a recommendation

I got to see the original Rosetta stone the other day. It's truly an amazing artifact that unlocked so much knowledge that might otherwise have been lost.

In that spirit, I'd love to hear from you: What is your favorite book/movie/TV show that has been translated from another language? (Dubbing and subtitles are both acceptable).

Mine are currently One Hundred Years of Solitude and Njáls saga.

Books are altogether another behemoth as most have been translated into other languages. Authors such as Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Jean Paul Sartre, Dostoevsky, Gunther Grass, Han Kang, Rousseau, Christine de Pizan...it's endless ?

Goddess in the Stacks (553 KP) Sep 14, 2017 (Updated Sep 14, 2017)

The Hangman's Daughter series, by Oliver Pötzsch, is one of my favorite translations. Originally published in German, I believe. I read them a few years ago - the first one here: https://goddessinthestacks.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/the-hangmans-daughter-by-oliver-potzsch/
and the next three several months later: https://goddessinthestacks.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/book-review-the-dark-monk-the-beggar-king-and-the-poisoned-pilgrim/

I need the next book now. This was so beautifully written. My god. I knew that a shoe was going to drop throughout the last quarter of the book and when it did, my heart broke in so many peices. Holy hell, so many scenes that made me want to jump for joy, but when they got dark, I felt like a Spirit user after restoring a Strigoi.

I watched this as part of my 25 days of Christmas movies. It was a pleasant surprise of adventure and Christmas spirit. The Elves would be my favorite characters. They totally kicked butt. The jail scene is fun. As soon as it was over I recommended it to all my friends. It's on my top 5 list.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters isn’t the film that we were all waiting for. It isn’t even in the ‘so bad it’s good’ category. For what should have been a fun summer blockbuster full of excitement, it lacks the energy and spirit for a truly great Godzilla film and that is the biggest disappointment of all. Long live the King.
