Set Visit: 'Ghost Town'
Last December, Cinematical was the only movie blog invited to visit the set of Ghost Town over at the beautiful Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, New York. Directed by David Koepp, Ghost Town stars Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, Téa Leoni, Billy Campbell and Kristen Wiig, and it arrives in theaters on September 19. Check out our report below ... I always get nervous whenever visiting a film set. In the past, I've been a part of a larger group, which meant I could simply follow behind three other people and

Ghost Town Movie Release
This week, Ghost Town is coming out in the movie theatres and it sounds like something Medium lovers would enjoy. A man who is decidedly not a people person dies on the table and is revived after a few minutes. To his disgust, he then starts seeing people constantly - dead people. As he says, “If I see one more winking zombie…” Of course, the ghost he is talking to at the time is justifiably annoyed, because ghosts are not flesh eating zombies. The movie is directed by David Koepp and st

Ghost Town Sneak Peek!
Last night, Brooks Brothers hosted a sneak peek party for the new Ricky Gervais & Greg Kinnear flick entitled, “Ghost Town.”  One reporter asked Ricky if his teeth were fake!  That’s like asking a fat girl if she’s pregnant! His smile is all natural and I happen to like his fangs!  When I look at some of these celebrities with their mouths full of porcelain veneers, I think they look ridiculous!  People love to trash celebs for that but when an actor like Ricky wears them na

Ghost Town / *** (PG-13)
"Ghost Town" (PG-1, 102 minutes). Ricky Gervais, a British comedian whose work on TV is legion, has at last found a leading role, and it's a good one. He's a stand-offish dentist who suddenly finds his space invaded by ghosts. Somehow he offers a line of communication between the spirit realm and the mortal world. Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni are a living/dead couple he finds himself involved with, in a consistent smiler. Rating: Three stars

MovieMantz Review: 'Ghost Town'
by Scott MantzIf you're going to see any movie over the next few weeks, it's got to be "Ghost Town." I make that point right away because this charming, funny and touching romantic comedy - which co-stars Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni - is in danger of becoming a ghost itself after a quick death at the box office.

Review: Ghost Town
At first you think Ghost Town is about a jerk named Frank, as portrayed by supreme jerk-player Greg Kinnear. We meet him as he's on the phone, chewing out his realtor for getting his wife mixed up with his girlfriend. ("Does 'Amber' sound like the wife of a man my age?!") Next thing you know, he's dead, his spirit stuck wandering Manhattan, still wearing the tuxedo he had on at the time of his demise. But no, Ghost Town is actually about a dentist named Bertram Pincus, though I don't believe anyone in the

Kinnear and Gervais haunt 'Ghost Town'
It's a frigid afternoon last November on the upper East Side and Greg Kinnear and Ricky Gervais have just finished shooting a scene from "Ghost Town." That's when Gervais almost gets hit by a truck. "That would've been horribly ironic," he gasps, beating a hasty retreat toward the sidewalk as the truck whizzes past. "Wouldn't it?" It would be if you consider the British funnyman's role as a reluctant medium in the ghostly comedy, out Friday. Gervais plays Bertram Pincus, a misanthropic dentist whose tem

Review & Trailer for “Ghost Town”
In the comedy “Ghost Town,” Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais) is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired.

Ghost Town Review
Thanks for checking out our Ghost Town review. If you’d like to see the video version of the Ghost Town review you can watch it at the bottom of this post. Ever since watching Mystery Men and As Good As It Gets, I’ve become a life long Greg Kinnear fan. The guy just finds a way to bring insane amounts of personality and likability to every role he plays (He did it exceptionally well opposite Pierce Brosnan in “The Matador”). Then there’s Ricky Gervais who in my opinion is o

Side Dish: What they want on their tombstones
Death is the subject of David Koepp's frighteningly good comedy "Ghost Town." So we asked its stars what they'd like to see on their tombstones? Greg Kinnear: "Greg was complicated." Kristen Wiig. "Wiig. That's a weird name." Ricky Gervais: "I had a laugh and then I found a lump." And what does Gervais make of Kate Hudson, Lily Allen and Eva Mendes all declaring "secret crushes" on him? "There's a very good reason for that," the portly comic explained at Monday's Cinema Society/Brooks Brothers screening. "T

Gervais Is Still Waiting On Those Office Props
The little fat man who sold his dream, Ricky Gervais, was at the Monday night Cinema Society screening of his latest film, Ghost Town, and it seems the hilarious British-born star is still pining for past-due Office respect. In particular, he's ready for that damn American-version cameo already: "I think it would be perfect if Steve Carrel and the cast were watching an episode of Extras and he points at my character and says, 'This guy is overacting. I could totally do a better remake of this show.'" Which

Talking Movies: Ricky Gervais "Is Better Than Ghost Town"
Like many of his fans, I share the view that Ricky Gervais can do no wrong - so I was quite intrigued when I learned he was taking on the leading role in a Hollywood romantic comedy called Ghost Town. It seemed so radically different from anything he's done before - such a gamble. The film opens today (Friday) and Gervais is the best thing about it; nobody can quite match his unique deadpan humor. As he told me it's not as if he's doing Die Hard or The Matrix. This move into new territory isn't qui

Ricky Gervais brings Ghost Town to life
Bertram Pincus, DDS, is a bitter and judgemental man who truly loathes his life. But consider the alternative – which Pincus is about to be forced to confront. He's about to find out that, as dissatisfying and disappointing as he may find living, it is infinitely more aggravating dealing with death. Not his – at least not for more than a few minutes. When an accident during a routine colonoscopy renders him briefly lifeless on the operating table, he awakens with the unwanted "gift" of being a
