What more for our present day survivors and "witnesses" seeing LIVE or at the moment blow-by-blow accounts of what was happening.  Having to witness such atrocities could put witness/wi...

#notareview Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris Bridges, Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson Major spoiler alert My favorite part Baby Carlos with my brother RJ's favorite actor Carlos as Baby ____ Marcus Toretto (spoiler alert) The real star of the movie Usually babies in movies have their twins with them, but Carlos just played and did not need to have an alterate, except maybe for a mechanical body double or something, but his co-actors said he was a delight to be with.  Elsa Pataky, Chris Hemworth's wife in real life, and Baby Marcus' mother in the movie said he actually called Vin Diesel "Da-da!".  He'a a miracle, according to the F8 team(full cast and crew) This seventh franchise is still about family and the importance of it, whether one is related by blood or by heart.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)

Cage, Bartha and Kruger http://www.dan-dare.org/ Due to the Metro Manila Film Festival, this movie was shown a little bit later in this country and for one reason or another, I was very, very busy that season. I know that I have just written about the "hype" of a certain story about a noted symbologist, but I can't deny the fact that I love movies with the same theme, as long as they are not lambasting my faith or something to that effect. I enjoyed the first installment of National Treasure(2004)  because almost every scene made me laugh or put me to the edge of my seat.  There was definitely no dull moment and it was great to try to analyze the codes and whatever else.  For almost two hours, I believed that the Knights Templar do have lots of buried treasure all over the world.  Anyways, I loved the fact that they did not become greedy, but still had more than enough to keep for themselves.
