Mrs. GRRRRR and I went to see "National Treasure" on Saturday. It was a cheeeep date...$5.75 at the 5 pm show.
We thoroughly enjoyed this patriotic movie. Put aside your grownup goggles for two hours and just enjoy it. There could have been a little bit more puzzle solving and legends type stuff but it had just enough to make it an interesting premise.
The theatre was PACKED SOLID, not a single empty seat. The place applauded roundly at the end! (why we do that, I don't know, because the actors can't really hear it---can they?)
Cage was his usual goofy self and his side kick and yummy girl candy was icing on the rotunda. It was fun to say, "I've been THERE" and the pix of DC always give me a little chill.
History and Patriotism abound in this flick, maybe more and more people will go to the library and read a history book now, MAYBE Hollywood will take the hint and make MORE FILMS about American History. I'd pay to see a decent dramatization about HOW the Declaration was written and how the Revolution started. How about a good BioPic about the Founding Fathers with just a few babes in tight bodices?

I will not go to Alexander. Oliver Stone has dedicated his life to trying to destroy military heroes and elevate anti-heroes. I will not pay to see any military movie directed by Oliver Stone.
Why the producers hired that POS to direct this movie is beyond me. Maybe they had money to burn.
How dare you besmirch the great name of the State of Texas, everybody knows Sandy Cheeks rocks!
