ADAPTATION

I don't want to sound like some high-brow, elitist cineaste, but that is probably one of Cage's best performances since Leaving Las Vegas.

Good. Julia Roberts is enough to make a repugnant reptile ralph.

I take it from the title you added to this story that you are happy Julia Roberts's film will get clobbered. Did you actually read the story and see that it will only be in 450 theaters across the country, as opposed to National Treasure being in over 3,000 theaters? It's called wide release vs. limited release. It isn't likely that a film like Closer will ever come close to making as much money as National Treasure, but at least understand why the difference in this week's box office.

I think National Treasure is simply a prelude to being a ride at Disney World ...as a movie it is silly

I loved the movie, the critics panned it, glad to see it doing to well.. the subject matter is timely, too.

Good. That Julia Roberts/Jude Law flick looked like a REAL P.O.S.

My 8th grade daughter thought it was like a bad knock off of a Dan Brown book, and she thinks Dan Brown books are kinda cheesy.
