Mother Ghost is one of those little movies that sneaks up on you and truely catches you by surprise. Looking at the cover you can see it is packed with actors that have been doing 'this' for awhile now and know their way around a set. With the exception of one, that being Mark Thompson. This movie is actually his brainchild, his blood, sweat and tears if you will. And after watching it you will never believe that this is his first starring turn in a movie. He has done tons of very small parts on various tv shows and movies, including his own tv show on NBC in the early 90's but he is probably more famous for his voice. He is one half of the Mark and Brian Radio Show eminating from Los Angeles and broadcasting over the US. The aforementioned show he starred in for NBC was The Adventures of Mark and Brian and was the very 1st, THE VERY FIRST, reality TV show. His acting, his performance is the one you will be talking about long after the credits have ended.

I originally purchased this DVD because I've been listening to Mark & Brian on the radio every morning for years and try to support their endeavors. I was courious to see what Mark Thompson had been up to in the screen writing and movie world. Well, I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed.

I was taken on a journey that brought me to laughter, tears and many thought provoking moments. Mark's acting was natural and very convincing. I was also very impressed to see all the seasoned actors that were in this movie. I really enjoyed it!

This is an absolute amazing movie...I can't say enough! I am passing this around to everyone I know insisting they watch it...When they do they cannot believe how amazing it is! Like others, I've been a long-time listener of Mark & Brian and was surprised to learn of this endeavor by Mark Thompson, just the other day. I must say that Mark was absolutely incredible with his performance in this movie, let alone creating it!! I recently lost my beloved Father, way before his time, and this movie was SO inspiriing for my Mother (wife of 42yrs) and myself. Even if you haven't lost the most important, loving person in your life, you'll ADORE & CHERISH this movie...it's theme, message and acting!! My word Mark, who knew you were THIS talented?!! I pray we all get to see MUCH more from and OF YOU in the movies!!!!!!

Mother Ghost was a great story with some pretty good acting, expecially from Mark Thompson, who happens to be half of a morning radio show here in Los Angeles.

It tells us to put aside our differences with our parents and enjoy them while they are still with us. I think we can all learn from that bit of advice.

This one hits the human heart deeply. A must see for everyone to watch. This movie shows us all how human we all are and the wounds that we get and how they affect us. This is a perfect display of how someone would go about healing their wounds. It really spoke to me and the wounds that I've encountered in my life. Not the same as mine but it made me think of mine wounds and what I need to do to heal myself.

I can't say enough about this wonderful movie. I had not heard of this movie but caught it on one of my movie channels when checking upcoming movies and was floored by the acting, the story line, directing, everything! I knew I had to get the DVD. It's a must see and especially poignant to anyone dealing with a loss, which is everyone at some point. I admire how they tackled and portrayed this topic. I have watched it several times since I purchased it and it feels the same way every time, heartwarming, heart wrenching, eye-opening with unbelievable acting. All the actors did a wonderful job, but Mark Thompson's acting was riveting and filled with emotion and he made you feel that emotion and amazing veteran actor Kevin Pollak's acting was right-on as the psychiatrist, extremely touching. It was an amazing movie, one I will never forget. Fantastic!

ordered it so I could see the whole show and am glad I did. It is a tear jerker but worth while.

I thought this was a very moving story and really enjoyed seeing Mark Thompson as the lead. Great movie.

cute story, interesting realizing that Mark Thompson, of Mark and Brian, did this. Mark knows how to capture the true meaning of life.

This is pretty good considering it's Mark's first movie and he wrote it. Mark Thompson, of course, is amazing and one of the best actors I've ever seen. He needs to be in a series, preferably a cop crime drama. But back to this movie, his performance was moving and honest, and that's why I love him. Apart from his performance, this tended to be a bit manipulative, telling you when you should start to tear up and cry. We didn't need the shots of the women in the radio station all gathering with tears streaming down their faces, please, just watch Mark's performance, that was all I needed. I think the director didn't trust himself to just let Mark deliver the goods. Too bad, it kind of cheapened the film altogether. And what was James Franco doing in this? Not much if you ask me. The other performances were okay, even though they were veteran performers, they weren't really used for maximum effect here. They didn't really need all the "names" in this film, unknown actors would have sufficed for the amount of screen time they gave them. The only thing I can praise highly is Mark's performance. So if you watch it just for that, you'll be glad you did.
