Ghosts en Espanol

El Orfanato

Last night I watched El Orfanato at Tina's movie night. It was a Spanish flick with english subtitles. Its about this chick and her family, they return to the house she grew up as an orphan hoping to house kids in special needs(retards). The chick and her husband adopted this prick kid who has an illness and he can see the spirits in the house. I dont feel like talking about too much of the movie because I'm getting lazier to type it out and I don't want to spoil it for anyone. Anyways, I really enjoyed the movie, it has a pretty solid story that keeps you on the edge. I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Btw, its not a scary movie, just thrilling, not scary.

Man vs. Ghost

I had this vision last night about my own ghost movie I can abuse the power of special effects with. It's going to be called Man vs. Ghost, simple title that gets to the point. I like that. It's going to about a man who has problems in the city and needs to get away and move out into the country side to relieve all his stress. He rents this old Victorian home and at first sight, he falls in love with it. It begins all happy and gives a sign of hope. Then those random scenes where he leaves a room, and suddenly a door in the background closes. This would be the first sign that the house is haunted. Well to get to the whole point of the movie. The man moves to house, experiences hauntings, does investigation, discovers that a soul of a murderer is lurking around, then the climax of the movie begins. He must fight the ghost without fear to get rid of it forever. So he goes to the gun shop and purchases a dozen of rifles and handguns. As he returns home, he is ready to fight fire with fire. When he sees the silhouette, he starts firing aimlessly and as the apparition evades the fire, it dual wields high power pistols and shoots back. Now we have an intense fire fight around the house, both with weapons and fist-to-fist. The main character is being chased by the ghost and with the help of John Woo, the man jumps and turns 180 degrees in mid air and shoots his rifle behind him. Remember this is all in slow motion. As he hits the floor still shooting, he hits the gas line and realizes he must get out of the house. As he jumps out the front window, the house blows up into the night sky. He gets into his car and drives off. Suddenly, a truck pulls behind him at full speed, he sees through his rear view mirror that there isnt a driver and something is shooting at his car. Now we have a crazy driving/shooting scene. After 5 minutes of driving and shooting, they both total their cars and start fist fighting. When the main character loses the fist fight, he prays and the ghost disappears into the night. I need more work on the ending but i'll pull through. The movie is going star Morgan Freeman as the main character and Tom Cruise as the apparition. Since Morgan Freeman is pretty old, I want to use Jackie Chan as the stunt double. When I have them contacted, I'll have a release date on my movie then.
