“Life sure doesn’t prepare you for being dead.”I don’t want to go so far as to say that Ghost Writer is a feminist masterpiece, but 🤌🏻🤌🏻
When it started out it seemed like the usual low-budget cheesecake-y 80’s fare, but I knew something was up when they kept dressing Angela like Jessica Fletcher. She heads to her family beach house to get some quiet time and soon meets her Marilyn Monroe movie star type ghost-aunt, who brings a little zest to her life as they team up to solve her murder. I also really loved Joey Travolta as Bee-Jay who rocks a rat tail like 90% of the guys in this movie, and one of the club back up dancers is **absolutely also a dancer in Girls Just Wanna Have fun.
