Ghost Rider
This Valentines Weekend, take your girl to Ghost Rider… and be prepared to sleep in the dog house.
I’m not sure whose idea it was to have a movie about a flaming skull on a motorcycle open on Valentines week end. I’m sure this is going to hurt opening weekend sales for Ghost Rider.
In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny’s path crosses again with Roxanne, now a reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny’s soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery Ghost Rider, a supernatural agent of vengeance and justice. Mephistopheles charges Johnny with defeating the despicable Blackheart, Mephistopheles’s nemesis and son, who plans to displace his father and create a new hell even more terrible than the old one. www.imdb.com
