Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

by Edward Dunn

"I have some personal issues I kinda like to get fixed."

-Nick Cage as 'Johnny Blaze'

I heard Rob Schneider went up to Cage at a party and he said 'how 'bout we take it easy on the crappy movies, unless you want to put me in one of them'.

What options do you have if your last name is Blaze? It's like someone named Frank: inevitably, he becomes 'Frank the Tank', developing a serious alcohol problem in college.

The first film set the bar on the ground; with this one, it's like someone tripped on their shoelaces before being able to cross it.  Fans of the Ghost Writer franchise (yes, all 3 of them), will be thoroughly disappointed with this latest installment.

Angel Dog (Mini Review)

by Edward Dunn

ANGEL DOG
PG
90 Minutes
Director: Robin Nations
Writer: Robin Nations

From the creators of Airbud, and Touched By an Angel.
Comes a doggone, heart-warming story.
Yes, sometimes heroes have long tails.

'You'll find comfort in the arms of this angel.'
-Sarah McLachlan

'Bad to the bone.'
-George Thorogood

I must give it points for originality; all movies with dogs on cover, usually die at the end; especially if the dog has pretty-little-angel-eyes.  But here, 'Angel Dog' doesn't die, which is surprising, since he has a halo.

Off screen, it seems the vet and her assistant were dating not too long ago. I'm not positive, but I just deduced from the way they were glaring at one another. 

Think of an antidepressant commercial.

Lifeless people moping around, who have no real interest in anything. A commercial lasts 30 seconds, but this movie is 90 minutes long. A 90 minute long, depressing, antidepressant commercial.

They should change the title from ANGEL DOG to I AM NUMBER 2.

Final Verdict: 4 out of a possible 100
