A spectral sequel three decades in the making tops the DVD releases for the week of Nov. 19.

"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice": Thirty-six years after the bio-exorcist and the Deetz family charmed audiences, Beetlejuice and Lydia are back to close some doors and settle some scores. Tim Burton returns to direct, as do actors Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara.

"Watching 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' is not an unpleasant experience, as it maintains a familiar irreverent tone, and a gorgeously morbid and imaginative look," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "But there’s something a bit bland and manufactured about this version, which doesn’t have the same hyperreal twisted suburban aesthetic that production designer Bo Welch brought to the original."
