I’ve been diggin’ Mr. Brainwash’s stuff for awhile. Tomorrow is his show with over 200 of his pieces. I’m goin’ fo sho and the first 200 recieve a hand finished limited edition print, it’s of Elvis holding a Fisher Price Machine Gun, I so need that!
Oh Disney you had me at National Treasure in 2004. I screamed from my couch when you had to steal the constitution to save it. I was on edge the whole roller coaster ride to find the mason’s treasure. I prolly did a dance around the living room too. Because it was fast paced, clues and puzzles that I wish I could figure out.
While I am not a fan of Nick Cage, I could look past his hair plugs and performance and still enjoy the ride.
So now there is a sequel that came out in 2007, and as you can imagine I couldn’t wait to sit and yell in my living room once more, this time I got it on HD. While the same cast, same director, same studio, same producer may have made this film, there is one key ingredient that was missing: The writer from the first film is absent in this sequel and he must have had all the talent, cause the National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets is fucking bullshit. I didn’t like it at all, and why? There was no chase, there was no BIGGER and BETTER and MORE EXPLOSIONS, there was a screen full of oscar winning actors, Nick Cage, Jon Voight, Ed Harris, Helen Mirren and nominated Harvey Keitel and all they did was argue and bitch and have shitty relationships and fight. When they could be finding treasure, and beating people up, they were in bedrooms arguing and fighting like pussies. It made me remember why I hate fighting with girls, they make dudes go crazy, and why did Disney put them in my summer action movie? Why? The quest they go on might as well have been the isles of Costco, it seemed like everything was easy to find and at a good price, oh and just as fun to watch. In this film, they find a lost city of gold and kidnap the president. Yawn, there is no Indiana Jones feeling about this film, like there was with the first one. Please don’t make another national treasure movie, end it.
