Meglo-producer Jerry Bruckheimer has taken us onto a screaming asteroid, broken into Alcatraz, and given us adrenaline rush after adrenaline rush.
Ever since he was a little boy, Benjamin Gates (Nicholas Cage) has been fascinated with the myth of a hidden treasure buried hundreds of years earlier by some of the most important figures in American History.

Renee Zellweger â€" as she was in the first Bridget movie three years ago â€" is delightful as the thirtysomething British woman who still smokes, still calls "Ben & Jerry" her best friends, and of course is still single.
Johnny Depp is not the best actor in the whole wide world, but he's in the top 5. Whether he's playing Ed Wood or Ed Scissorhands, he brings a touch of class to every movie. In Finding Neverland, he is J.M. Barrie, the man who brought us "Peter Pan".
We learn early on that his marriage needs help. J.M.
What inspired children's author and playwright J.M. Barrie to create the otherworld of Neverland and its legendary inhabitant, Peter Pan? In the new family film Finding Neverland, we find out.
Johnny Depp stars as the influential children's author who one day stumbles upon a recently-widowed mother (Kate Winslet) and her four boys.

Any review of a sequel should point out that we attend these movies because we enjoyed the first and we like being able to predict a good time when we spend $14 on a movie ticket.
There are no surprises here, but that shouldn't diminish the experience because we knew there would be none.
As someone who sees upwards of 200 movies a year, I begin to discover that there are a few warning signs as to when a studio might know they have a turkey on their hands â€" a film they've spent money on that is just so bad that they want to hide it from the press and pray that the audience comes out in the first couple of days so that they don't lose too much money.
There seems to be a lot of similarities to Lost in Translation in Sideways.

What is it that attracts us to the world of Bridget Jones? Is it the humor? Maybe it's her love life? Or maybe we just see ourselves in many faucets of her life.
How many jewel heist films do we need? Do we need another heist film with Pierce Brosnan?
After the Sunset chronicles what happens when Max Burdett (Brosnan), a shifty jewel thief, gets away with the perfect crime and retires to the tropics with his lover, Lola (Salma Hayek).
