This week it's a double feature in honor of American politics (sort of).
A "main attraction" and then the "B Movie" as it used to be called in the 'olden days'. These days we just refer to it as the "sequel". (Yes. I meant to be funny but "funny" rarely works for me).

Unless you're a hermit, you've probably heard of our first film. "National Treasure" which stars Nicolas Cage and Jon Voight surrounded by a wonderful supporting cast including Sean Bean and Harvey Keitel as well as relative newcomers, Justin Bartha and Diane Kruger.
I loved every moment of this film as it completely swept me away in its adventure.
Our second film is the sequel to "National Treasure" called, (aptly enough) "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" and, as well as the original cast returning, it can also boast that Helen Mirren and Ed Harris have jumped on board for this ride.
It's not quite as "tasty" as the first one, but it does a pretty good job of satisfying our "hunger" for adventure.
Together they make for quite a spectacular double bill as we follow Ben Gates and his merry band of friends and family around the globe as they follow the clues, unravel the puzzles, commit a few crimes, make friends and enemies and learn about life, love, and family. All while searching for treasure.
I would have featured these films sooner but finding uploads that are of a good enough quality that they don't distract you from the plot took some time. So let me also add that you haven't suddenly developed a bad case of dyslexia. The backward lettering in the films is just part of the upload.

Theses movies are a lovely blend of
historical fact and Hollywood fiction but I will leave it to you and your "date" to debate what percentage of each the films contain.

As always, I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you enjoy these films.
