So let me get this straight: Nic Cage sells his soul to the devil and then becomes satan’s bounty hunter, and kills satan’s demon enemies, but he’s also a good guy vigilante at the same time? And his head turns into a flaming skull and he drives a really fast motorcycle? Right on!
On Sunday I was so hung over that I didn’t stop barfing until about 6pm, and then I had to watch Ghost Rider. Granted this is all self imposed, but you all should feel really sorry for me right about now.
But like I said before, there is always a silver lining in any not so great Nicolas Cage movie. For Ghost Rider, it’s this scene:
EPIC CAGE FLIP OUT TALLY: 46
Eva Mendez made me want to barf seven more times. She’s just….awful. And such a weird choice for a female lead. Probably because this movie was dog shit and I’m sure they didn’t have many actresses clambering to get in this one. This clip was her best performance in the movie in my opinion:
I would also really like to compare the actor they hired to play young teen Nic Cage to present day Nic Cage. It really missed the mark:
These two people could not look less alike! It’s insane to me!!
Ghost Rider really lived up to it’s expectation, which was awesomely bad. I knew this one was gonna be another nanar (see the Gone in Sixty Seconds post for the definition), and it really came through on that end. We have one more Ghost Rider movie coming up in TWC, so I’m bracing myself for that!
Next up is Next!
