"Book of Secrets" is enjoyable but had me rolling my eyes throughout. For some reason I am able to suspend my disbelief when a 200-ft. tall radioactive dinosaur tramples the streets of Tokyo but am not for this movie. Nicolas Cage's character Ben Gates solves puzzles and deciphers codes at break neck speed. He could probably size up a Rubik's Cube in about 10 milliseconds. Somehow Gates manages to break into the Oval Office and escape from the White House swipe artifacts from the Queen's study in Buckingham Palace and kidnap the President of the United States all while eluding capture while strolling around on top of Mount Rushmore. Incredibly I still managed to like this movie. Most likely because of the fun I had trying to figure out how historical events and locations were distorted during it's runtime.
