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!<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theromcomcatalog.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/55.png\" alt=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Psychic and Mediums\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" title=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Psychic and Mediums\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h3><strong>Push (2009)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I know this movie got a lot of bad reviews, but whatever, I thought it was fun as hell. It&#8217;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&#8217;s what I enjoy about it.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theromcomcatalog.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/56.png\" alt=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Psychic and Mediums\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" title=\"Thursday Movie Picks: Psychic and Mediums\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h3><strong>Ghost (1990)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#8217;s theme and explain why you chose those movies.
