If you haven’t seen National Treasure, you really ought to.  Yes, I’m a sucker for Nicolas Cage movies, but he usually manages to do good stuff.  And this one is funny and fun at the same time, intriguing and captivating, not stupid and not sappy, and it’s able to do it all with a PG rating.  How about that.

The thing is… at least three people have told me that the character of ”Riley” basically is me.  Great.  I’m the comic relief.  I’m the computer geek who says all the funny one-liners to break the tension and amuse everyone while I’m also working some magic.  The problem is that comic-reliefers and one-line-magical-computer-geeks aren’t usually the stars, and, as in National Treasure, in the end, they make their funny little sarcastic quips and drive off in their shiny new Lamborghinis while someone else gets the girl.  Wheeeeeeeeee.
