We went seeking greatness in movies, and were most often disappointed. We waited for a movie like the one we wanted to make, and secretly wanted to live. -Roger Ebert paraphrasing a quote from Masculin Feminin

Smokin Ghost Rider
I have no qualms about writing one very short post about two movies. Smokin' Aces had the potential to be a really fun popcorn flick. Instead it was tied down in stylistic pretentiousness. Ghost Rider by contrast had no redeemable potential at all. I lost two hours of my life and all I got was some gratuitous cleavage of Eva Mendes. And I should note this is a movie that starred Nick Cage, Sam Eliot hell even Donal Logue and Wes Bentley deserve better than this. I'd be shocked that Peter Fonda was in this but he was also in Escape from LA so his credibility is seriously lacking.
