Movie Trailer: National Treasure: Book Of Secrets

Click here to watch the trailer for National Treasure: Book of Secrets. While nothing spectacular, the first one was a lot of fun and I know Ashlee and I loved it! I'm definitely going to check this movie out. All of the original cast is back including Nicholas Cage (who I generally don't enjoy too much), Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, and Jon Voight (Angelinas Jolie's estranged father). Joining them this time around is 2007 Academy Award winner Helen Mirren.
