Ghost Rider

Note to self: DO NOT buy combo 2 of popcorn and soda at star Cineplex when you're watching movies if you're not gonna share it with AT LEAST one other person.

Being the greedy person that I am, I got the combo 2 last night when I went to watch Ghost Rider with Yee, Yew, ALex, Ron, and Yee's colleague. the excuse I haven't had dinner does not apply in this case. Halfway through the popcorn, I realized that I CANNOT finish it, but with the thought of my mom's admonition running through my head [you know there are kids in Africa who are starving to death? You have food but you don't want to finish it. Wasting!!!!] I dutifully forced myself to finish up the popcorn

O_o

Is it any wonder why I'm getting more bloated up by the day?!?!?!

As a result of my binge, I was plagued by a horrendous stomachache late that night. Of course, the stomachache could also be due to the fact that we went to McD after that...=D

But I wasn't the only one!! Ronster shared in the pain too. He had gastrointestinal problems that prevented him from getting the beauty sleep he craves >p

Wait.............deviating from the main topic....talking bout Ghost Rider here.....

-_-"

ok, the movie wasn't half bad, although it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Nicholas Cage actually looked good...skulls and bony hands and all...hehe...Out of a 5, I would give it a 3.5. Do you know it was actually a marvel comics character??? I didn't know...until last night

Yeah..hehe...There was even a kinda cute supervillain, The Devil's son...Blackheart, I think his name was...also, not forgetting the hot Eva Mendes, who was (obviously) the heroine of the movie, and (incidentally) Nicholas Cage's long lost 'sign'................... ok, love. Long lost love.

So, synopsis (although most of you would know already by now, but what the heck).

Long long ago, there was this father and son team, Barton (or Bolton??) and Johnny Blaze, who make a living out of jumping through fire hoops and death defying stunts. So one day, Johnny's girlfriend, Roxanne told him that her father is sending her away to live with her mom. Johnny then made the split decision to 'kahwin lari' with her and told her to meet him at the same spot by noon tomorrow. But that night, Johnny found out that his father has cancer, and doesn't have mych time left to live. So he consoles himself by going out to the garage and fixing his old decrepit bike. That's when the devil decided to make an appearance, and offered him a deal. His father's health for an agreement to ride for him, the devil. Only Johnny doesn't know it's the devil, and he doesn't know that he's gonna be the devil's bounty hunter of sorts.

So the next day, Johnny wakes up and finds his father healthy as a horse, so he rejoices! but his celebration is short lived, however, because that day, his father was involved in an accident while doing a show, and died. He is sure it's the devils fault, and the devil finally told him the circumstances of the agreement (I have cured him, I didn't say anything about preventing him from dying any other way...etc...bla bla...) so the devil told Johnny that he can't let Johnny die, but all the years after that, whenever Johnny does death defying stunts, he always tries to crash and end his life. but every single time, he lives! (what are the odds of that??? -_-")

So fast forward........Johnny meets again with Roxanne, (needless to say, he didn't run away with her) and asks her for a date. She agrees and sets the time and place. that fateful night, The devil came for him, asking to 'cash in' on his 'investment'. Johnny is to find and dispose of Blackheart(the devil's son), and prevent him from getting the list of San Venganza. Its some kind of list with the names of the cruel and terrible people with the deal that they made with the devil. Whoever can get their hands on the list will be the most powerful supervillain on earth. Or so they say lar..

So anyway, Johnny becomes a man by day, and a ghost hunter by night, hunting out demons and BAD people. So he sets out to hunt for Blackheart, and manages to locate him, and Blackheart has Roxanne, and he exchanges her with the list, and they fight, and the ghost hunter wins, and the end! hehe....

But seriously, it's a great movie. There are some funny episodes in there, and you must have a dry sense of humour to appreciate it. Other wise, you're only gonna think it's lame.

but anyway, I got to go now....Haven't done OM yet.....
