Title: This Rider Doesn't Go Down Easy
Review: "Ghost Rider", which came out theatrically in February of this year, stars Nicolas Cage in the title role and is based on a comic-book series, so I wasn't expecting "Citizen Kane" on a chopper, and I did have some intermittent fun with the flashy film. However, overall it's kind of a mess. The action sequences, though ultimately empty exercises, are often exciting, and when the movie keeps it light and airy, there's an enjoyable exuberance to the proceedings (but all too often, it dips into dour drama and schmaltzy romance). Definitely one for the DVD player, not the big screen. (Originally posted at SciFi.com)Staci Layne Wilson
