Ghost Rider (Two-Disc Extended Cut)

Posted by Amazon.com: horror in Amazon.com on May 18, 2007 Once intended as a feature for Johnny Depp, the long-germinating feature film adaptation of Marvel Comics' cult title Ghost Rider stars Nicolas Cage as motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who transforms into a skull-faced angel of vengeance to battle the forces of evil. Though perhaps a bit too mature for the role, Cage brings a degree of humor to the outrageous proceedings; he's well matched by the Easy Rider himself Peter Fonda, amusingly cast as Mephistopheles, the demon with whom Blaze strikes a bargain to save his father, and in turn, causes his transformation into Ghost Rider. Wes Bentley is also fine as Blackheart, the rebellious offspring of Mephistopheles, and Blazes' chief opponent in the film. They're joined by a solid supporting cast which includes Donal Logue, Eva Mendes, and Sam Elliott, but their participation and a relentless barrage of CGI effects can't hide the fact that the story itself, though largely faithful to its comic origins, is rife with clichéd characterizations and glum B-movie dialogue. Fans of the venerable title may cry foul over this adaptation (as they did over helmer Mark Steven Johnson's previous comic-to-movie feature, Daredevil), but less stringent viewers may enjoy the fiery visuals and Cage's typically quirky performance. --Paul Gaita

‘Army of Shadows’ is irresistible

Posted by Horror News on May 18, 2007

Every year, some movie that most people have never heard of shows up on critics' 10-best list. But last year, more than a few included a movie called 'Army of Shadows' -- not to be confused with Sam Raimi's 'Army of Darkness' -- which was not some tiny independent drama or documentary that could be seen only at film festivals. Though it is of foreign provenance, it is the work of a duly acclaimed director.

The hitch? 'Army of Shadows,' directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, had an official release date of 1969. Unlike most of Melville's movies, this drama about a civil engineer who like thousands of French men and women joined the underground Resistance in World War II, had never received an official United States release. So to anyone who didn't see it overseas, it was a new movie. Read more
