Ghost Rider

In slightly less Oscar-related news, we went to see Ghost Rider this weekend. For those of you not familiar with it, this is a comic book adaptation starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes.

How was it? The effects really looked pretty cool. I mean, anytime you have a giant flaming skull for a head it requires some impressive effects. Was it good? Ehhh. Was it fun? Yes.

The one thing that really surprised me was that they didn't play up some of the supporting actors in any of the previews. When we watched the movie, I was surprised to see that Peter Fonda, Sam Elliot, and Eva Mendes's cleavage were all featured prominently.
