This block will stay here, I am going to leave this post here and then change out the movie plot details below. This page will get outdated as far as posts go, but will have a new movie each week (or at least I am going to try and do one a week). You can stream older movies on places like Fandago but they don’t have all the titles and some are really hard to find. You could go to the library and get the DVD and watch these older movies but then you run the risk of the copy being scratched and well not working that’s what happens when you lend things out to anybody. So yeah this change, I may update the date on the post so that you will be able to see when I have a new movie to watch.
Ghost
Banker Sam Wheat and his artist girlfriend Molly Jensen move into a Tribeca loft with the help of Sam’s best friend and co-worker Carl Bruner. One night, the couple is attacked on the street by a mugger, and though Sam appears to chase him away, he returns to a devastated Molly cradling his bloodied corpse and realizes he has died. A bright beam of light shines down on Sam, but he stays with Molly, and the light disappears. As a ghost, a despondent Sam remains by Molly’s side. He is unable to interact with the physical world, and the other ghosts he encounters are unhelpful.
Sometime later, the mugger breaks into Molly’s apartment, but Sam manages to drive him away by scaring her cat, which scratches his face. While pursuing the mugger, Sam is attacked by a hostile ghost on the subway train who can move physical objects. Sam follows the mugger back to his apartment, learns his name—Willie Lopez—and that he deliberately targeted Sam. Sam later encounters Oda Mae Brown, a charlatan psychic medium, but he realizes she can hear him. He harasses Oda Mae until she agrees to warn Molly that she is in danger.
Molly refuses to believe Oda Mae’s claims that Sam’s ghost is warning her, despite her intimate knowledge of Molly and Sam’s relationship, until Sam tells Oda Mae to say “ditto”—Sam’s response whenever Molly said she loved him. Molly tells the police and Carl about Willie, but the police dismiss the story and disclose Oda Mae’s extensive history of fraud, leaving Molly disheartened.
Meanwhile, Sam follows Carl and learns that he hired Willie to rob Sam of his book of bank passwords. He needs them to launder $4 million in drug money through an account held by the fictional “Rita Miller” for his criminal partners. Carl breaks into Molly’s apartment and steals Sam’s book. He also later attempts to seduce Molly until an enraged Sam inadvertently knocks over a picture frame. Sam returns to the subway and convinces the hostile ghost to teach him to focus his emotions and reliably interact with the physical world.
Sam visits Oda Mae, who has become popular with ghosts trying to contact the living, seeing another ghost possess Oda Mae but be exhausted by the effort. He convinces her to pose as Rita Miller to withdraw the drug money, which she reluctantly donates to charity. Molly sees the transaction occur during a visit to the bank. As Carl panics over the missing money, Sam uses his abilities to torment him. Carl visits Molly to discuss the haunting, and she unwittingly reveals that Oda Mae withdrew the money. While Molly is upstairs, Sam attacks Carl, who threatens to kill Molly if the money is not returned that night. Carl and Willie travel to confront Oda Mae, but Sam warns her to hide, and then terrorizes Willie, causing him to run into the road and be struck by a car. Shadowy figures appear and drag Willie’s screaming ghost away.
Oda Mae and Sam return to Molly’s apartment, where Sam levitates a penny to convince Molly he is truly present. After Molly calls the police, Oda Mae allows Sam to possess her so he can dance with Molly. However, the possession leaves him weakened and unable to help when Carl breaks into the apartment. Carl takes Oda Mae and Molly hostage and demands the drug money, but Sam recovers in time to attack him. In a panic, Carl swings a suspended metal hook towards Sam and tries to escape through a window. However, the hook swings back and shatters the window pane, causing a large shard of glass to impale and kill him. Sam watches as the shadowy figures drag Carl’s ghost away.
As Sam checks on Molly and Oda Mae, the beam of light returns, allowing them both to see and hear him. Sam thanks Oda Mae for all her help and shares a kiss with Molly, telling her he loves her. She responds, “Ditto”, and Sam walks into the light.

Obviously my interests include philosophy. I think thinking and thought are the beginning of every great thing. It’s how we understand and perceive the world. Periodically I’ll change things up and blog about something math or computer science related or even a blog about mythology. I am not political, trendy, or savvy, but I do like a good story. That is why I try and find a movie clip that hints or encompasses what I want to blog about. Sometimes the relevance is there, sometimes it’s a reach and I just really love the movie that I put in the post. The intent and purpose of my blog is to make you think, make me think and together our thoughts can be shared in a collection of material.
