Rating: - Fun Movie
A pretty good movie. Not as good as the first one but still enjoyable to watch. Am looking foward to the third one.

Rating: - Excellent service
The merchanise that I purchased was shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. I bought it for a gift so I have not yet opened it. Thank you.

Rating: - "Da Vinci Code for Dummies"
This unnecessary sequel to the 2004 blockbuster sacrifices logic for globetrotting chases and obnoxious comic relief. A solid cast tries to keep the serial-style lunacy afloat, but "National Treasure 2" lacks the fun and intrigue of its predecessor. Mount Rushmore was better served in Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest."

Rating: - Family entertainment.....
I can't help but like the first movie better, it was so fresh and had a much more interesting villian. Second movies are hard to make when a movie was as succesful as 'National Treasure' but this one is pretty good. Family entertainment all the way and those movies are hard to find these days. Sorry to use the cliche but it works. It's very difficult to find a film that all family members will enjoy, it's pure fantasy but not the creepy kind and covers all the bases. If they want to do a third one and they did set the basis for that, I say, why not? Go for it. I'll take Nick Cage over a very dorky, old, Harrison Ford anyday!

Rating: - I Just Love This Movie
Like the title says, I just love this movie. Usually sequels are terrible--and Disney is known for that. But National Treasure: Book of Secrets is amazing. I love the history, the action, the suspense, the humour, and the fact that you don't need to see the first one to understand this one. I have seen the first movie, and it makes it more fun to watch number two, but it's not necessary: National Treasure 2 is an awesome movie all on its own, but makes a wonderful sequel as well.

The bonus features are amazing too. There are a lot of them, but many of them are on the shorter side. I find that disappointing, because I want more! They're definitely getting me to research things I hadn't known about before. And I'm itching to visit the Library of Congress: All of those wonderful, original documents;--it's breathtaking.

I have one question, which I hope they answer with a National Treasure 3: What's on page 47?

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
