Talking to Heaven 2002


     Based on an autobiographical book by psychic James Van Praagh.  James spent most of his life either denying his clairvoyant gifts or facing being called a freak.  Friends and family members shunned him and didn’t believe his visions were real.  He begins to assist the police in solving crimes and this does bring him some personal reward.
     I thought that James Van Praagh was a hoax and more of a charlatan than a real clairvoyant?  I looked him up on Wikipedia and he has both believers and skeptics.  It was interesting to learn he was the co-executive producer of the Ghost Whisperer on CBS with Jennifer Love Hewitt.  Ted Danson looks nothing like Van Praagh?  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

142 min, Drama directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal with Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Diane Ladd, Queen Latifah, Jack Palance, Michael Moriarty. 

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 6.9 out of 10, no critic review 72% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
