“National Treasure” features Nicolas Cage as Ben Gates in a suspenseful and entertaining movie geared more toward adults. There is a legend behind this movie that the Free Masons, a secret society, hid treasure from the British. Gates’ great-great- grandfather was a Free Mason. Ben decided after his grandfather told him the legend, that he would be the one to find the treasure. The movie revolves around finding clues to get the trea- sure. It is an all-around enjoy- able movie. Despite a few corny scenes, it is worth seeing. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

We’re interested in what you have to say. Here are some ideas: Letters to the Editor If you want to voice your opinion about an article or a letter to the editor that has already been printed, go ahead. Letters should be about 300 to 400 words and reference the article it is in response to. Perspectives If you are concerned about an issue and would like to write a significant amount of text about it, you can do that too. Submissions should be about or under 700 words.
