Movie Review: Knowing

I'm not a fan of Nicholas Cage so I don't know why I really went to see this - maybe because it was half price. I certainly didn't see it because he was in it! Or I think it had more to do with the fact that I just had to get out of the house today otherwise I was going to go stir crazy.

The Mist was along a similar storyline, plus I've also read The Taking by Dean Koontz which is pretty much along the same lines too.

A couple of good Aussie actors, Rose Byrne & Ben Mendelsohn are part of the cast, which is good to see.

I wouldn't really see it unless you are a huge fan of Nicholas Cage.

Plot: When a professor stumbles on a set of coded numbers, written in 1959 and buried in a time capsule at his son’s school, he makes a startling discovery. The cryptic message predicts every major disaster of the past 50 years and holds chilling predictions about future catastrophes—the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale.

Movie Review: National Treasure - Book Of Secrets

A couple of weeks ago I won an in season double pass to this movie. I also managed to win in the same week another 2 double passes to the Golden Compass (which I have not yet seen).

I hadn't seen the first one so decided to hire it out so that I would at least know the characters.

My plans to see it with a friend fell through due to a family crisis so I treated a stranger to the movie. There was a father and son seeing it together, so I told the father that I would use my spare free ticket for him, then all he had to pay for was his son's ticket (which is a lot cheaper than an adults). He was so grateful that he bought me some popcorn.

Plot: Ben Gates once again sets out on an exhilarating, action-packed new global quest to unearth hidden history and treasures. When a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth surfaces, Ben’s great-great grandfather is suddenly implicated as a key conspirator in Abraham Lincoln’s death. Determined to prove his ancestor’s innocence, Ben follows an international chain of clues that takes him on a chase from Paris to London and ultimately back to America. This journey leads Ben and his crew not only to surprising revelations – but to the trail of the world’s most treasured secrets.
