Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Review by Brandon Wolfe Look who's made a return it's out guest movie review Brandon. He is a simple man. Uncomplicated-simple, not dumb-simple, of course. Let's see how his review compared to Matt's review of the film. Mounting a sequel to 2007’s dismal and dull Ghost Rider seemed like one of the less arduous tasks in recent Hollywood history. If the bar had been set any lower, it would have been buried nine feet deep in the earth. Really, all any sequel would have had to accomplish to claim a minor victory would be to not be astoundingly terrible, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance pulls off this most meager of feats. Directed by Neveldine/Taylor , the junk-auteur duo responsible for the Crank films, Vengeance is a trashier, more low-rent affair. It strikes a less polished, more grindhouse-esque aesthetic than the original, which arguably better befits the schlocky material. However, it is still not what you’d call good. Tak...

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Movie Review  By: Matt  Does Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance redeem the franchise or cast it further into reboot hell? Matt is back with another great review.    Note: major plot spoilers ahead! Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is a weird movie. Unlike the zaniness of The Dark Backward or even the mother of weirdness Begotten, GRSOV gives off the strange party-guest-who-holds-up-the-wall vibe than offering something truly unique. From the outset, you realize that this sequel to the 2007 yawn-fest wants to be different, recognized, and respected. After the first Ghost Rider was plagued with mailed-in performances and an action-heavy script, a new team was brought in, led by directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor . These guys are better known for 90-minute action films (Crank, Crank: High Voltage) than for their abilities as cinematic heavy-hitters. Add to the fact that GR was financed by the relatively unknown and seco...

Last week, Stan Lee received the lifetime achievement award from the Visual Effects Society, presumably for all the work he's given the members of the past decade. While many of Lee's Marvel co-creations dominate this century's movies, several potentially deserving and exciting properties have amazingly yet to receive the full screen treatment. Dr. Strange Given the immense visual potential, Dr. Strange is the most surprising character on this list. The second most famous creation from Lee and artist Steve Ditko, the Master of Mystic Arts previously starred in a mediocre 1978 made-for-TV movie and a forgettable 2007 direct-to-video release, plus numerous guest appearances on various Marvel cartoons. Rumors have persisted for well over a decade about a live-action feature film. The latest attempt centers around the completed script by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (the duo responsible for the recent Conan the Barbarian) that is believed to focus more on...
