I've been trying to think of something nice to say about the Ghost Rider movie that I wasted 2 hours of my life watching. And I came up with this: Sam Elliott, the cowboy Caretaker, was great.

The rest of the movie was terrible. No, it was horrible. Wait a second... it was atrocious. And I have to put all the blame on the director/writer Mark Steven Johnson.

I'll be the first to admit that Bratpack is flawed. What sets out to be an examination of the superhero/sidekick superhero sub-genre ends up being a cliché-ridden example in the worst of people.

The characters are specific examples of what some think superheroes would be: The gay man, the vigilante, the druggie, the feminist. The villain, perhaps my favorite character, is very evil, but has a purpose. (And every villain must have a purpose for them to be really evil.)
