National Treasure: Book of Secrets (Theaters)
National Treasure: Book of Secrets was a excellent sequel to the original feature. Nicholas Cage is back as Benjamin Gates, and he along with sidekick Riley Poole embark on another crazy adventure to find a lost and forgotten treasure in the great U.S of A.
I can’t speak for everyone else, but I really can’t understand why this film got such poor reviews from the critics. We all knew that this movie was produced by Disney, so I was expecting a movie that was over the top but filled with entertainment and excitement. I got just that.
There were critics out there who complained that the film was too much like Indiana Jones. Why reinvent the wheel? People love a good treasure hunt and action film and National Treasure was a tribute to that success. Others complained about historical context of the movie. All I can say is What the F@#k? No really. Why are you watching a Disney film if your expecting a documentary. These movies are for entertainment purposes and not for historical relevancy.
Bottomline is, this movie was fun and enjoyable. It wasn’t anything to go crazy over, but it was hardly a waste of two hours. I would definitely recommend it to others who are looking for just plain old good entertainment.
Synopsis:
While Ben is presenting new information about John Wilkes Booth and the 18 pages missing from Booth’s diary, one man stands up and presents a missing page of John Wilkes Booth’s diary. Thomas Gates, Ben’s great-grandfather, is mentioned in the page. It shows that Ben’s great-grandfather could have been a person involved with Abraham Lincoln’s murder.

- The Spirit (Latest Theatrical Trailer) -#
Adapted from the Will Eisner's graphic novels, "The Spirit" tells the story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) -- who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face -- has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this coldhearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront...all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader. - My EliteXC : Heat Winners -#
I've been in a pick'em league over at S2 to I figured I post my selections here on the site during each mixed martial art event.As much as I would like to see Kimbo get a loss it wont happen versus Shamrock. Shamrock's going to try and prove a point and stand and bang and he's going to eat fist. lol. Did anyone see the weigh in's for Gina Carano? She had to bear all to make weight!
My predictions:
Kimbo Slice - KO1
Jake Shields-KO R2
Andre Arlovski-KO R1
Gina Carano- Sub R2
Murilo "Ninja" Rua-KO R3
Yoko - Sub R1
