National Treasure

Why do adults think that kids don’t know what they are doing? After getting the cryptic letter codes from the Silence Dogood letters needed to locate the next clue in their scavenger hunt for the legendary Knights Templar treasure, Riley Poole (Justin Bartha) wonders aloud whether the copied results are correct. The young lad next to him gives him the hairy eyeball implying that is question he may regret asking.

Never Look Back

Sometimes help appears from the most unlikely sources. Jill Kendall (Nicole Freeman) is in Miami after fleeing an abusive boyfriend and her unsupportive parents, when she drops by a cabaret for lunch. There she meets Mona (Girlina) and Billee (Candis Cayne) who call themselves “gender illusionists” and take her under their wing. She’s looking for a career in modelling and her angels know all of the do’s and don’ts to help her along. But as she gets rich and famous, Jill is the target for all those who want a piece of of her. But she doesn’t forget who was on her side at the start.

New Best Friend

How well do you know someone as they become a big part of your daily life? Alicia Campbell (Mia Kirshner) glides into the life of Hadley Ashton (Meredith Monroe) becoming indispensable, charming, helpful, subservient, manipulative, corrupting and eventually switching roles in her life. Watching this happen is so reminiscent of the process that Mia Kirshner uses so successfully in her role on the TV show, The L Word.

Night at the Museum

Mockery is spiteful even if it unintentional. Rebecca (Carla Gugino) is writing her doctoral thesis on the tracker for the Lewis and Clark expedition, Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck). Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), the new night security guard, tells her that she can find out more by questioning the exhibits because they come alive after sundown. Rebecca is crestfallen when she thinks he is making fun of her, the history geek, and all of the work she has dedicated her college life to doing.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

One side of my family ancestors are Scots and Irish immigrant farmers who have been here for more than 200 years, settled in assorted parts of the country. The other side worked in stone in the north of England and answered the North American call for cannon fodder in WWI. Until about two years ago, I knew none of this. I knew my grandparents’s names and where one of them was born. So when Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) tells the US president (Bruce Greenwood), after he sorta kidnaps him, that everything he is is because of his ancestors, I can understand. Two years ago, I might have gone along with the astrology of my birthday since the description seems to hold. But now that I know some of my ancestry, I have a better grasp on why I am who I am. But I’m having trouble figuring out my sister. Maybe she was adopted.
