R.I.P.D

 As a rule, we find
it best to avoid films with punning titles.  However, the inclusion of
Ryan Reynolds and in particular Jeff Bridges, who has given notable
comedy performances in the past (think
‘The Big Lebowski’), provides more of a reason to get excited about
this comic drama. If you haven’t guessed already, R.I.P.D stands for the
‘Rest in Peace Department’,  a team of undead police officers. When a
new recruit (Renolds) joins the team, they begin
an investigation into his murder. The premise sounds entertaining
enough, but as with any film, it’s all about the execution.
