Ghost Town

I netflixed this movie and watched it last night. I was pleasantly surprised! It stars Ricky Gervais, who is a star in the UK and star of the original Office tv series, and Greg Kinnear, and Tea Leoni. Ricky Gervais has a death scare and as a result, can now see ghosts. The ghosts notice, and all try to get him to take care of their unfinished business. Greg Kinnear, one ghost, wants Ricky Gervais to break up his widowed wife with her current fiance.

It's funny and serious. As I was explaining this to Juan, it's a cross between Ghost and Heart and Souls (old-school Robert Downey Jr movie). It was a pretty good movie overall. Did I ever mention the movie Flash of Genius starring Greg Kinnear and Miss Lorelai Gilmore- Lauren Graham? The synopsis is that he invents the intermittent windshield wiper, and his idea gets stolen. So he takes on Corporate car businesses in a lawsuit. Sounds horribly boring, I know, but I loved that movie, and now I guess I'm a fan of Greg Kinnear.

PS Weather in Utah is fabulous right now, I just ran errands and drove with my windows down wearing no coat! It is January, love it. Too bad I have commitments today and all night that keep me inside. Let's hope the warmness lasts all weekend.

I hope it stays great while I am there. I have most of my nights available for partying it up. I am afraid that I am going to be very busy while I am there and it is going to go by way too fast.
