Ghost Town

WRONG!! Greg Kinnear. After being swiftly dispatched within Ghost Town's opening minutes (YES!! He's gone), he returns to the screen (FUCK!! He's back) as a ghost in need of marital closure. Ricky 'too good for a supporting role' Gervais plays stubborn loner Bertram Pincus, a dentist capable of communicating with the recently deceased.

It's nice to see Gervais cast against type, playing a socially awkward, mock-arrogant outsider. He's still (just about) funny, but the act is starting to wear quite thin.

Then again, I'll embrace anything British once the Americans start liking it. HAVE YOU SEEN LITTLE BRITAIN USA?!?! FUCKING GENIUS!! I read a 3-line preview of Skins in Entertainment Weekly and it was enough to convince me that I'd been relentlessly championing it from the beginning.

It's like 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' all over again.

3 'hilariously' un-PC moments out of 5.

'INTERESTING' FACT: Dead people can't lift newspapers but they can sit on benches.
