I can't wait to see National Treasure 2: European Adventure - the da vinci code later this week.

As far as Opie directing good films, that remains to be seen. I didn't see his western he made a couple year back. I didn't see Cinderella Man as it looked like setimental crap pleading for some gold statues. The oscar he won for A Beautiful Mind further proved the ineptitude of the Academy and their ability to award mediocrity.

Then there is Gladiator. The film directed by Ridley Scott that won Russel Crowe his oscar he so rightly deserved for his performance the previous year The Insider.

But all my reservations aside, I'm looking forward to Da Vinci. It will be interesting to see how they made all the real locations look and compressed the story.
