If you are in the mood for a drama involving ghosts may I recommend
GHOST WARS. Just finished re watching this and it really shines on
this ultra wide monitor as it was shot in wide aspect like a film.

Pixar doing Pixar type things usually does well. Haven't seen this yet
but it's on my list. Sad to think that we may never see the good films
from them again if Iger has his way as Pixar is one of the places
where he plans to cut a large number of the staff. They can still make
some good stuff like the PIXAR POPCORN but the big films will be too
much to tackle.

Haven't seen this since the first time I saw it. I don't remember it
being a spectacular movie but it was good fun.
