If you haven't seen the Clint Eastwood directed film, "Herafter", my advice is don't bother.  It had a few good points, but was extremely "weak tea" as far as the afterlife aspect.  If you already accept the afterlife as real and are looking for something new or even interesting in that regard, then this film will disappoint.  The plotlines were so-so at best, and the ending left a lot to be desired (well, there was a bit of desiring going on, but from my seat it was unsatisfactory).  I was hoping for more, but this wasn't it.

  Oh (wo)man! i just rented that movie earlier today, but planned on watching it tomorrow (well actually later 'today' at this point).

  I want my dollar back!   >:( ;D   

  Did you see Charlie St Cloud?  If so, what did you think of it?

I thought it had some pretty weak or illogical points in the plot, but dealt with stuckness and retrieval in an interesting way, plus the nice little twist at the end (though somewhat predictable). 

Yeah, the movie wasn't that great.

Matt Damon played an unwilling medium named George, and I wonder if the writers/creators had George Anderson in mind when they selected the name George.

The film was good in that it made the point that even though there are plenty of mediums and psychics who are fakes, there are some people who have genuine ability.

Albert,  I agree with your good point, but I don't expect regular posters on this forum need to be made aware of that point.

I guess for some folks the movie might cause them to look at things, like the afterlife, psychics, etc. in a new, more positive way, but again, those folks aren't the posters on this forum.

I watched the movie a few weeks ago on DVD and although I too thought it had been a bit weak, (especially because of the french)  I did find some intertaining thoughts swirling around my day because of it.

Heres some corners to glimps around maybe.
I found it interesting how "the right people always find each other at the right moment, or phase in their lives for to go the next step "... co-incidence? - doubtfully my way of perception.

I was thrilled to see that the kids understanding level was higher, when searching on the internet for Life after Death topics and had been able to difference the Bullpoop from the more serious avenues and how he felt jerked right away by the Medium.

What startled me a bit had been when she went floating thru the water looking up and seeing the Teddy Bear floating towards her. I thought to myself Hmmm... I had always been under the impression the Soul leaves the body - so why is she seeing this from that perspective...?

Anything you guys noticed ... ? What thoughts did it spark other than running to the bathroom wanting to barf?

@Justin, dont try to sneak that "not talking about the kitty cat" past me...lol..  ;)

I guess I felt it loud and clear that you thought loud and clear "Nnnnaaaaaaner" in your mind. Its a perfect "Soul-u-tion" when we communicate like that - just please not everyone at the same time...lol.or I`ll go >>  :D

Yes, glad to stop by every chance I get or did you really think I dont miss my old friends? Come on you know me better than that.

I have a lot of catching up to do to reading to see what page everyone is on. (Thank Goodness of the Universe that I am a speed reader.)
Hugs to all,
Nanner

@ Recoverer - yeah I agree and find he really did. I mean at his age I probably wouldnt have thought like that at all. But he searched and searched until he found something that "resonated within". Thats how I read it anyway. Maybe kids now in our time are more conscience then we really give attention to.

Ugh, this movie was WAY too slow for me.  But then again, if I had seen it many, many, many years ago I probably would have really liked it. 

Vicky, I agree about the slowness.  But I know on Netflix member reviews, some folks really liked it.  Maybe you have to be in the right audience profile:  perhaps a bit openminded but not very knowledgeable about nonphysical reality.  And I really wanted to like it!
