National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
Though much like the first, "Treasure" still shines.
When I first saw National Treasure, I was blown away. With the complex puzzle solving and action violence, it was an unexpectedly refreshing movie from Disney. Such is the case of NT's sequel.
Many critics complain that the storyline is almost exactly like the first film, but this is not entirely true. The film centers around finding a national treasure, but the motives, minor characters, and plot development are different. All the cast is back (except for villain Sean Bean, who's character is in prison), with the lovely additions of Ed Harris as the main villain and Oscar-winning Helen Mirren as Ben Gates' mother.
Traveling from Paris to London to South Dakota, the three heroes look for clues to help clear the Gates' name of assisting in the Lincoln assassination.
Overall, I thought the movie was very decent. The visual effects were amazing, and the acting job was adequate. You probably won't have to think a lot while you watch the film, but it's a fun time, so check it out.
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001)
Don't waste your time on this worthless piece of crud.
Quite frankly, this movie couldn't get much worse, and altogether it stinks. The plot is very cliché and not very original. The characters will get on your nerves very quickly, especially Cindy and Shean. There is humor, but very little of it is even worth a chuckle. Most of it would probably only be funny to Nickelodeon-viewers. The only redeeming quality is that the animation is at it's finest; it can't get much better. However, seeing that that is the only good aspect, this unarguably ranks a D. I'm very surprised that it didn't go directly to DVD, or even be placed in the bottom 100. In conclusion, this movie is only to be seen by young children. No exceptions. Period.
VeggieTales: VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular! (1996)
A great film for kids AND adults.
The Toy that Saved Christmas is one of the best installments of Veggie Tales. The story is about Mr. Nezzer, a toymaker, who sets out to tell the "true" meaning of Christmas, by creating a toy that says "You need more toys!" But one of these Buzzsaw Louie dolls doesn't agree. Ken Cavanagh has a great voice talent (I actually know him personally) and he delivers his message great! Also has humor that not only kids will laugh at, but adults as well. The great storyline is excellent, told through a "bedtime" story. The silent penguins are a great addition to the film. The thirty minute video is a milestone in Big Idea's history. All in all, it is very, very good!!!! I will give this fantastic movie a tremendous 9 out of 10.
