Reveal the secrets in National Treasure: book of secret

This is the 3rd movie I watched in a row last week. I’m so in love with the first story of National Treasure, so I must see this movie. Eventhough, I always now, that 2nd movies never as good as 1st movies.

Benjamin Franklin Gates is presentating how his ancestor, Thomas Gates, become one of the American hero, because he tried to stop the rebellion which involed murdery of one of the early American President. This story was revealed trough a book which has become the evident of the scene. This book missed a page, that is never found untill now. But, her rival (forgot his name) showed him the missing page that, unfortunatelly, showed that Thomas Gates, actually involved in the rebellion and in fact the mastermind behind the murdery.

B.F. Gates, of course, can’t accept that his ancestor being accoused just like that. Then he started to investigate the paper. Unfortunatelly, the one who could helped him in investigating, is only Abigail Chase, his girlfriend, who currently in a ‘not-friendly’ state, because their little fight. But Gates managed to convince her to help him, and after several investigation, the paper is actually a clue about a missing golden city. Then they started to find this golden city, so that Gates could clean his ancestors’ name.

Overall… I do enjoy the 1st movie more than this. Because the clues in this movie is not that interesting to follow. It’s just like, that, and that, and there it is… But it’s still fun to watch. Btw, the most interesting thing is that the main story is about finding a missing golden city. At that time, as a One Piece fan, I mentally screamed: ‘OMG!! It’s Skypea!! Oh, don’t tell me, that the golden city was actually being thrown by a current to the sky’. Yeah, that’s what I actually think, when I watched the movie. XD

Cooks in No Reservation

Oookay… I know I should write my review after I watched the movie. >_< now I forgot those characters names, and I’m too lazy to search the internet about this movie. Anyway, the main character is played by Catherine Zeta Zones and let’s say her name is Kate (if I’m not mistaken). She is the main chef in a French restaurant, and very well known for her talent in cooking. Unfortunatelly, she has somekind like OCD problem, so she is currently in therapy. She also often make so many rules for herself, e.g. never want to date someone who live in the same building, always punctual at her work hour, etc. And she also can’t take a critic from her customer.

One day, her sister and her doughter (Kate’s cousin) want to visit her. But Kate would stick to her schedule, and won’t come home less than 9pm. Her sister okay with it, because, of course she knows Kate’s habit. But, before 9pm, an accident happen, and her sister died. In grief and full of regret, Kate read her sister letter who asked her to take care of Kate’s cousin, Zoe. At first, Kate doesn’t want to leave her job, but the owner insist her to take some rest. And when she is helping Zoe’s transfer, unknown to her, her restaurant’s owner hire another Sous Chef (Co-chef), Nick.

This Nick, has a very opposite attitude than Kate. He is very comunicative, love to chat, and highly appreciate other people. Knowing this, Kate is very angry, and thought that Nick want to sabbotage her kitchen. Nick counterattack that by saying that it is actually his dream to work with her. So, one and other conflict happens, and at the end, Kate finally able to open herself.

Overall… I would say this drama movie lack in story power. It feels… flat. The conflict is not well describe, or I don’t know how to say it, but… it feels… well… just flat. At first, I was interested to see this movie, because I thought it’s a story about chef and foods. Since I’m still in love with Rattatoulie, I thought, why not watch this. But unfortunatelly, this movie didn’t have too much impact to me. Not to mention that this move has so little humor, and the BGMs don’t feel special. Or … maybe it’s because I watched 2 movie in a day XD But I do like Catherine Zeta Zones ^_^

Happy Ever After in Enchanted

Last week, I did something I never did. I watched 2 cinema movies in a day, and 1 more in the next day. The first movie I watched is Enchanted. I finally watched this movie, because my sister insist in seeing it, eventhough she already watched it twice.

It’s a fairy tale type of story actually. Once upon a time, there’s a beautiful village girl who lived inside a big tree in a peacefull meadow, named Giselle. She is expecting to meet her Prince Charming to come and give her a true love kiss (she is singing it with her animal friends). Meanwhile, somewhere else in the wood, the crown Prince Edward is hunting for an evil ogre. And when he is boasting about how cool he was, he heard a beautiful voice singing about true love kiss. He then follow the voice and start singing too ^_^; Well, as always, the Prince managed to find the beautiful girl, they fall in love, and then they are planning to get married so they will live happily ever after.

That’s actually the beginning of the story. Apparently Prince Edward’s step mother (who currently the queen in charge) doesn’t like the idea. And she wants to cancel the wedding. Thus, she tricks Giselle to look down into a well, and… she push her. So poor Giselle fell down into a well which connect to a world without happy ever after,a.k.a reality world, New York city. Here she went trough harsh treatment from New York people she never met before,until she meet Robert, a guy who work as a lawyer, and his daughter. Then with his help, she will try to survive and find her way home. Of course, Prince Edward won’t stay still, and he will save his princess. On the other hand, of course, his step mother won’t allow it.

So, overall, the story is very common. Typicall fairy tale story, like I said, easy to guess the end, but beautifull nevertheless. The movie itself is also very funny. I never expect Prince Edward to be so overconfident XD And I always laugh at how the chipmunk, Pip, act. And the most thing I like from this movie is, the MUSIC!! It’s very beautiful. I will find the OST album once it’s released ^_^

Okay then, I’ll write another 2 movies in some other time.
