If you are having "one of those days" - a day when you have 5 essays due, your significant other has told you they "want more space", you were stuck in traffic for 45 minutes because of a train, and by the time you get home you have missed your favourite show - do yourself a favour and go see Amélie.
There once lived a beautiful young woman who, despite her apparent beauty, probably did not consider herself beautiful at all. The young woman lived in a very large and old city, and despite being surrounded by people all the time, was quite shy and lonely.
If even one hundredth of the effort that was given to special effects was given to character development in Thirteen Ghosts, director Steve Beck could have really had something here. This is a rare example of a movie that gets into its story too quickly. We have barely been introduced to the characters when they are thrust into a fight for their lives.
You know those movies where you go in expecting the worst, but it turns out to be a masterpiece, and you enjoy it even more because you thought it would be bad? That is truly a great experience.
