Ghost Town.

Today I saw the movie Ghost Town.  I went into this movie not expecting much, but came out with quite a bit.  Not only did this movie make me laugh through out the entire film, but it also leaves you with a message.  
This movie is the story of a dentist named Bertram Pincus who can not stand to be around others.  From what you gather through out the movie, it appears as though this guy just can't stand people and wants to be left alone.  You later find that it's caused by other reasons, but I'll leave that out for you to find by yourself.  But anyways, from the preview and early in the movie you find out that he dies due to complications with anesthesia and is revived, after he is revived how ever, he can see ghosts.  One ghost in particular who is named Frank wants Pincus to get his widowed wife, Gwen, to leave the guy he is currently dating because he feels that he is not right for her, and that this is why he is still stuck on this planet.  Well Pincus accepts on the grounds that Frank promises that if he convinces Gwen to leave this guy, Frank will tell all of the other ghosts to leave him be.  After this point the movie has it's ups and downs in mood, but situations always end up working there ways out, and leaving you with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.
I would highly recommend this movie to any one who is interested in normal day to day comedy (stuff that you could see yourself running across while out on the streets).  And for anyone who is just looking for something enjoyable to watch with someone special be it family or friends.

Outside of the movie, I did take my art 115 test this evening (art History).  And I feel I did very well on it.  The questions weren't all to hard, and most of it was vocabulary, naming pictures from a list of names, or identifying principles of construction.  There were some written parts, but they were really rather basic.  So all in all, a good day.
