National Treasure

Posted on December 17, 2005February 10, 2023 by Village Vidiot

“National Treasure,” December 17, 2005 (2004), DVD.  Nicholas Cage as an obsessed historian/treasure hunter seeking to unravel the endless clues of the greatest treasure in the world, that of the Knights Templar, which somehow, inexplicably, came to be buried under NYC by the Masons before the American Revolution. The mindless absurdity is breathtaking. Still, clean idiotic fun and genuinely historical drivel. Worthless, but B- liked it, although she found it scary. She’s still not used to ‘realistic’ films with violence and danger. I’ve got to get her watching real stuff
