As long as I am confessing less than elevated interests today, I might as well admit that I really enjoyed the new film National Treasure. This is probably the first Jerry Bruckheimer-produced movie I have ever praised, unless you count Team America, which is a parody of his extravagent explosion-filled action movies, acted by puppets.
Sure, it is a highly-implausible adventure film, but it has a number of redeeming values. It is first-rate storytelling, with nary a dull moment, and a mostly coherent narrative line. It is basically a treasure hunt, comparable in many ways to Raiders of the Lost Ark or King Solomon's Mines, two other very well-crafted screen adventures. John Turteltaub, the director, is quite impressive in the way he keeps advancing the narrative, and makes appealing characters out of what could have been stick figures.

No TROLL but if you don't understand shut-up
Sorry fella, but I won't SHUT UP cuz I do know a thing or two that you don't evidently. And your rudeness does not make talking to you very pleasant. If you can't carry on a conversation rationally then I might suggest that you refrain from making any more comments. If you do not then I will email the moderator and file a compliant. Free Republic can be a good place to carry on a conversation but when people starting talking like you do it makes coming here a drudgery.
