National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets...

EXCELLENT.
If you haven't seen it, go. It's wonderful. I know there are movie snobs here that are going to tell me I'm insane and bitch about how it wasn't realistic, and to that I will say that it was fiction. Let go of reality for a few minutes and enjoy it as a movie. I was pleased with it as much or more than the original.
Anyone else see it?

2. I saw it. They certainly keep the twists and turns coming. Thoroughly

entertaining. I liked that they played up the idiosyncrasies of each character. Especially the mom and the dad.

3. Haven't seen it yet. Charlie Wilson's War is quite good; see it if you can.

It's based on a true story -- very effectively written script.

We also went to see The Great Debaters (with Denzel Washington acting and directing), Sweeney Todd (kind of disappointing comparing it to the original Broadway cast), Enchanted (fun for the kids), and we saw Scaramouche on TV from 1952. All of this while we were in Florida. Still hope to get to see Juno, which some have put on their Top Ten lists.

4. Thanks

I plan on seeing it later this week. Sometime it is good just to have plain old fun at a movie.

5. My wife, son and I just saw it this afternoon.

We liked it. But, they kept talking about the city of gold, yet when they found it, it wasn't any bigger than a McMansion. Pretty small city.

6. That is they way the native American cities were...

They weren't giant. They didn't have giant groups. At least not the ones around here until the Cherokees became Americanized.

7. I didn't care for it.

I thought the first one was a lot better. Book of Secrets was rather preposterous, I thought.

Just my .02 :-)

8. I was bored

Wooden acting. Absolutely predictable. Both Cage and Harris could have phoned their performances in.
