[150207] IM COMING HOME, NEWCASTLE!!!

Post Valentine's Day... a shout out to all my friends who celebrated yesterday with your other halves... may your relationships grow from strength to strength... anyways, jogged for the first time in weeks and afterwhich, an undeniable sian-ness overcame me as i decide to head over to Jurong Point to catch the sneak preview of The Ghost Rider starring Nicolas Cage.

Based on yet another of Marvel's comic book characters, The Ghost Rider tells the story of Johnny Blaze, dare devil rider extraordinaire and bounty hunter of the Devil himself... how at the tender age of 17, he sold his soul to the devil willingly to save his cancer striken father only to lose him unknowingly to an accident premediated by the deal broker - The Devil. How he triumphed over evil and decides to use his powers for the greater good and join the never ending battle against the forces of evil. Not many of us would be familiar with The Ghost Rider seeing that Spiderman, Batman and many others feature more prominently within the Marvel Comics stable... The plot and storyline was disappointly weak and lacks sorely in depth not helped by the seemingly lost and unconvincing potrayal of Johnny Blaze by a surprisingly uncharismatic and lacklustre Nicolas Cage of Face Off fame... Eva Mendes potrayal of Roxanne Simpson, Blaze's lost love also failed to sizzle as the director or producers are no doubt more interested in showing off her assets to the audience rather than concentrating on good chemistry between the 2 leads with low cut outfits and unbuttoned shirts making the fashion statement in this movie... The movie does salvage itself with its above average CGI effects but not by much... Nicolas Cage failed to do himself justice and fans would undoubtly come away disappointed after having been used to his high calibre work in Face Off and City of Angels among many others... A film solely for Marvel Comic fans but otherwise, a film that can be missed...
