How bout them Lakers BIM? :D

Good game. They should have won. Blowing a freaking 17 point lead. :bang: Then, in the end, #8 missing shots. UGH. Let someone else shoot the rock. :computer:

Very good recommendation, BIM. I saw it last night and loved it. It was especially good for me that it showed the historical section of Philadelphia, which really is a beautiful city (in places).

Diane Kruger is smoking hot.

Riley was great, and provided most of the comic relief.


::SPOILERS::

Obviously, this movie was a lot like Angels and Demons in that it was following an ancient map of sorts laid out across the landscape, both maps provided by a secret society.

I only wish it would have been more like A and D in that the "clues" were really laid out right in front of our eyes. With the exception of the back of the $100 bill, none of the clues were ones any of us would have any reasonable chance of finding. And even that was only half a clue.

When I saw the previews, I thought the map literally was going to be one that anyone could have solved. Such as the shadow of the Washington Monument points to the next location, or the statue of William Penn gazes in the next direction you need to look. Oh well. Still highly recmonnded.

Did I mention Diane Kruger is hot?

Wife and I went last night. We bothed enjoyed it a lot. I think maybe the bad rap is the comparison between the Indiana Jones movies? :shrug:

Although I thought this one had a very good stand alone plot. I will see it again on cable. It was good.

She must have a bad body cause it was covered up the whole movie but she had a gorgeous face....

Methinks I was a bit tainted because I recently finished the devinci code.

I'm getting burnt out seeing/reading different versions of the Knights Templar and the "treasure". I was bracing myself fer the ending to have Cage be the decendent of Mary Magdalene.
