Customer Reviews

Living with the Dead AKA Talking to Heaven (2002).

James Van Praagh (Ted Danson) sees dead people; only he does not like it. His father criticizes his abilities; he almost had a girlfriend until he scared her off, his mother torments him, and every time he tries to use his abilities, something goes wrong. Just as he tries to quit, everyone presses him to go on to help solve a 30-year-old murder with really spooky consequences. Is he the victim, the innocent bystander, or maybe the perpetrator? Will the case be solved? The film starts at a very slow pace, and for a while, you think you may be watching a religious documentary. It seems to deviate this way and that, of course. Then in the second half, the pace picks up, and you get absorbed and intrigued as it gets spookier and spookier. By the end, you find that the film did not deviate, and every word, every gesture forms a tapestry to review an overall picture. A surprising plus is the quality of the acting. I was especially surprised at Queen Latifah’s portrayal of cancer patient Midge Harmon.
