Ghost Rider
This weekend Laura & I managed to make it out to see Ghost Rider (Official Site) starring Nicholas Cage. It was alot of fun, and a surprisingly good movie. So many comic book movies turn out like garbage, but this one was surprisingly good. It’s no Lord of the Rings, but it’s got a pretty good story and I love the camera work. Alot of work was put into the camera angles and lighting to closely approximate the look of a comic book. Also, the special effects are amazing and well used. I’m gonna have to buy the DVD when it’s released just to see how they made the motorcycle accident shot at the beginning of the movie, where he breaks his neck and shatters his helmet visor. It didn’t look CG, but no stuntman would have attempted that.
So if you have the chance, go check it out. I never did read the comic book, so I can’t comment about it’s relevancy to the source material. It’s fun, action packed, and any movie with a cover of "Riders in the Sky" (by Spiderbait in this case) is worth checkin out

Update 3/22/2007: Looks like someone finally posted a music video for Spiderbait’s Riders in the Sky on Youtube, using video from the movie and the PS2 game.
