Thursday Movie Picks: Psychic and Mediums
Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.
Today’s theme is Psychics and Mediums so here are my choices!
The Gift (2000)
I haven’t seen The Gift in quite some time, so I’m not sure if it is as good as it was back in 2000, but I remember really enjoying it. It is a fun thriller starring the fabulous Cate Blanchett as a clairvoyant who gets involved in the disappearance of a young socialite. The cast also includes Keanu Reeves, Giovanni Ribisi, Greg Kinnear, Hilary Swank, and Katie Holmes. I may need to watch this one again soon!
Push (2009)
I know this movie got a lot of bad reviews, but whatever, I thought it was fun as hell. It’s a movie about a bunch of psychics on the run from a dark government operative. Chris Evans (yummy) is a telekinetic looking to get revenge on the Division for the assassination of his father. Dakota Fanning is a clairvoyant who joins in on the plan. Push is silly, but that’s what I enjoy about it.
Ghost (1990)
Patrick Swayze is killed and finds a psychic to help him reconnect and potentially save the life of his girlfriend. That psychic happens to be Oda Mae Brown, played by Whoopi Goldberg to comedic perfection. I love this movie, although it still makes me ugly cry, and Goldberg 100% earned her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress that year.
