Eva Mendes at the premiere of the movie Live!

Recommended Movies : Ghost Rider – Eva Mendes stars opposite Nicolas Cage in this comic turned movie. I was actually a little afraid to see this thinking it would be boring and I would be lost since it is based off of a comic, but I was sorely wrong! Apart from being a comic sort of action movie this movie will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting much more when it ends! It follows Johnny Blaze who as a teenager makes a pact with Mephistopheles (a demon) when he finds out his father is dying of cancer, only to watch his father die in a stunt accident. In his grief he ends up abandoning the girl that he loves and their plans to run away together. Fast forward to when Johnny Blaze is older, a much celebrated stuntman with his motorcycle as he realized over the years that he cant die and uses it to his advantage for his career. He then runs into the beautiful Roxanne whom he abandoned years before, and who is now a television reporter. Mephistopheles  then approaches him with a task he must complete to be free of his grasp and then turns him into the Ghost Rider who can see evil in people and punishes them for it. On the way he runs into the old “Ghost Rider” who has the item that Mephistopheles wants and who is the only rider to successfully run away and defy Mephistopheles. Without giving too much away both Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes have superb performances with appearances also by Peter Fonda and Sam Elliott.
