NATIONAL TREASURE
starstarstarstar
Less entertaining than flat-out exhausting, this frantic treasure-hunt movie is so determined to hold your attention that it unleashes a hailstorm of breakneck chases, incomprehensible technology, wild leaps of logic and cliff-hangers that would have seemed hackneyed in the days of Polly Pureheart and Snidely Whiplash serials. As an impressionable child, Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) learned from his grandfather (Christopher Plummer) their family's unique and thrilli... read more leave a comment

Besides a last airing of Shrek, the Peacock will run the broadcast premieres of Along Came Polly and National Treasure.

Just watched the series ...

Question: Just watched the series premiere of Treasure Hunters, and I enjoyed it (especially the interactive portion, hokey as it was) in spite of myself. Someone should turn the producers on to a little show called The Amazing Race, if you ask me. But anyway, my question: Is host Laird Macintosh a robot? Really seems like it. Or is this one for Ask Ausiello? Thanks! Answer: With Ausiello currently on a well-earned summer break, I guess I'll field this. Laird Macintosh may not be an actual robot, but he plays one on TV. Are those cell-phone instructions not the cheesiest use of a host since, maybe, the disembodied head on the repulsive Unan1mous? While Treasure Hunters isn't a bottom-feeder like that Fox atrocity, I found the setup needlessly, even comically, confusing, and the rip-off factor (not just of The Amazing Race, but of The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure) more than a little off-putting. I'm not wild about the teams-of-three setup: too many characters, not enough character ... read more
