Summary and Review[]
Chronicle[]
“ Chronicle is a film about three high school students who are bestowed with or rather, infected with — whichever way you choose to look at it — a mysterious alien power of telekinesis. The film chronicles the three people as they use and then eventually misuse their new, amazing powers. —Mike Stoklasa”
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance[]
“ It's the early months of the year and we all know what that means, of course. It's time for another crappy Nick Cage movie! This year, it's Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Ghost Rider: Vengeance of Spirits is the sequel that nobody asked for to the movie that nobody saw, and it tells the story of Terminator 2 but stupider. Cage, as the Ghost Rider, must protect the fate of a little boy who is being groomed to take on the throne of Satan ... or something. —Jay Bauman”
