National Treasure: Book of Secrets

I'm still wondering why the movie week committee did not consider Anak ng Kumander, Katas ng Saudi or, barf, Resiklo. Too bad, part-timers (at best actors pa 'ka mo) pa naman ang mga bida. Funny sana.
  • It's too American. Whenever anyone in the movie says the word "national", nasasaktan ako oh baby. Bakit ko nga ulit pinapanood ito? Haha.
  • It contains too much Hollywood content. Sabi nga ni Emman, sobrang daming cuts nung movie kasi yung "hacking" scenes, especially yung sa Buckingham Palace, forty-seven hours yung actual take, pero dahil Halivood, five seconds nalang. Iyon yung misteryo sa likod ng page forty-seven. What they did is a sacrilege to the security personnel. It's like saying that it's possible to hack computer systems, in the modern setting, by just running one program.
  • First time kong makakita ng character na Cryptologist na super spy. Isa pa siya yung tipo ng character na hindi nagkakamali sa panghuhula. Nakakapagpabagabag kaya yung pupunta nalang bigla sa kung saang sulok ng mundo dahil lang sa isang clue na sobrang vague naman. What are the chances na tatama siya sa kanyang hula? 100% dahil Halivood.
  • And yes, the disturbing way "Papa Cage" (as my co-workers refer to Nicolas Cage) talks with the breath and murky facial expression. Para siyang parating hinihingal. "Hits the grheathest nhationhal trheasure hof hall time."




Oo nga pala, hindi ako ang nagbayad para mapanood ang pelikula, kaya masaya pa rin.
