Heat

Heat - in which Robert DeNiro and Val Kilmer are crime friends while Al Pacino investigates their crimes. Val Kilmer and DeNiro are good friends and good bank robbers, and they usually have Tom Sizemore on their team, but they need a 4th for this new job, so they bring on someone they shouldn't trust. They first hold up an armored car in a very organized manner, but the 4th guy is stupid and reckless and he kills one of the drivers, so they have to kill all of them. This is sad for the drivers, and for DeNiro, who doesn't like to murder, but strongly prefers it to being in jail. They get away with this crime, but Al Pacino starts to investigate them, which pulls him away from his mean wife and needy step-daughter. Pacino is an amazing detective, and starts to put the pieces together, eventually, and when the guys go to do one more big job, he is ready to catch them.

 Oh! Val Kilmer has a tough relationship and a gambling problem, so he asks his friends to do the last job for him. After the robbery, the cops pick up his girlfriend and pressure her into luring Kilmer into a trap, but she gives him the 'keep driving' secret signal and he gets away. Pacino tracks down DeNiro and traps him on the airport tarmac. They both have guns and shoot at each other, DeNiro gets shot and cannot escape. Earlier, on the street after the bank robbery, they all have one of the biggest and loudest gun fights of all cinema. Very epic.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider - in which Nic Cage plays Johnny Blaze and some rando plays Ghost Rider and Eva Mendez fails all women. To start, some teenagers play Johnny Blaze and Roxanne as a couple in love, but Johnny Blaze can't commit to her because he feels like carny trash, and his dad has cancer. So, when Johnny finds out about his dad's cancer, he gets real upset, and is therefore vulnerable when approached by a Devil, and gladly exchanges his soul for his father's health. Joke's on him, because the Devil is a jerk and as soon as the cancer is gone, Papa Blaze breaks his neck, I guess, or he is mangled by a ring of fire. Its hard to say. Sad, though. Okay, so thirty years go by before Mr. Devil cashes in his Johnny Blaze favor, but in a chilling and tragic coincidence, he does it on the ONE NIGHT Blaze has a date to reconcile with Roxanne, whom he has run into as an adult. While Blaze turns into Ghost Rider and it looks terrible, poor Roxanne (Eva Mendes) is left stood up at...

The Crush

The Crush - in which Cary Elwes makes out with a teenage girl in 1993, and it wasn't me. Alicia Silverstone is amazing and charming. She plays Adrian, a teenage girl with very rich parents, one friend, and a tenuous grasp on reality. The protagonist is supposed to be this author, played by Cary Elwes, but dude's a creep, so he's the villain to me. Reframed: this guy moves into Adrien's parents'  carriage house, in the back yard, and I guess she's not used to it being rented out, because she keeps going in there. Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
