National Treasure

After getting back to Deb’s place after seeing the depressing but excellent movie The Weatherman (see previous post), we decided we needed to do something to take our minds off of it.

First Deb made some wonderful fudge brownie sundaes. Start out with a a scoop or two of Dove Toffee and Caramel ice cream on top of a few excellent two-bite brownies from Publix. Then drizzle on some dark chocolate sauce. Top it all off with some whipped cream and cherries. I’d hate to guess how many calories we consumed, but there’s nothing like a huge dose of chocolate to help you feel better after seeing a depressing movie.

We got settled and popped National Treasure into the DVD player. National Treasure is a highly implausible story of a treasure hunt. It’s loaded with action. Nicholas Cage plays a man whose family was privy to information about a treasure hidden back when the Declaration of Independence was written. A clue to the treasure has been passed down through the generations of his family. Nicholas gets bitten by the treasure bug and sets out to see if he can solve the riddles and find the treasure.

If you’re a fan of action flicks you’d probably like this movie. There’s a lot of history involved. The story is kind of like The DaVinci Code. I’m not a big fan of action flicks but I do like this movie enough to give it one thumb up.
