...movie--bless us and save us--does not hum. Its pace is slow, musing, pause-filled. Lots of its best gags are set off by long, slow fuses. And some are quick visual puns, taking place in the corner of the frame or with the camera dollying past them, not seeming to care whether you catch them...
...what’s going on with Paris Hilton? National Treasure is so formulaic that if Nicholas Cage asked hottie Abigail about hotel heiresses it would charge the film with an exciting postmodern meta-discourse (comparatively). But the film’s ho-hum shenanigans aren’t devoid of eye-opening sexual elements, particularly the masculinity crisis embodied in Cage’s ‘girly’ sidekick Riley.

It's an unconventional kind of cooking school, and it really works. Martinez, 38, a Cuban-American former school teacher, has used that recipe to build a national chain of cooking schools for kids featuring courses like Mind, Body and Belly...
...songs, those of the Beautiful Girls do not replace any sense of musicality with redundancy or a booming bass. A surprisingly high standard of music is maintained throughout this album, and the emotional lyrics sung by a genuine vocalist provide a much-needed breath of fresh air from the hum drum music of our day. The intermittent raps add a jolt of spice to the already piquant brew, and everything somehow just seems to work for the band...
