I have never begun to understand how critics can pan a movie like NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS. I mean, doesn’t everyone understand what kind of movie he or she is going to see when the names Jerry Bruckheimer and Nicolas Cage appear on the screen? Well, if they don’t, I do. It’s not spectacular filmmaking by any stretch of the imagination, but it was never meant to be. In a season brimming with Oscar hopefuls, sometimes all a person wants is a good popcorn action movie.
