On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Plot:
Treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates looks to discover the truth behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, by uncovering the mystery within the 18 pages missing from assassin John Wilkes Booth’s diary.

The last time I checked, we make our living off crazy.
Thoughts:
It wasn’t as solid as the first film, but it was still fun and it made a great date night. How can you go wrong with a goofy action flick, a bucket of popcorn and good company? They left it wide open for another sequel, not even a little subtlety in that. I didn’t like the relationship between the Abigail and Ben characters this time as much as the first film and the Riley character didn’t have as many witty one-liners (they tried, but didn’t quite succeeed). But even though it was overall weaker, it was still pretty good just because it provided mindless entertainment.
Rating: PG for some violence and action
