Fall Movie Guide ’04 – Movies Opening Nov. 19

The Hype:

Taking place four weeks after the first film, Bridget Jones (Zellweger) could not be happier in the arms of gorgeous lawyer boyfriend Mark Darcy (Firth). Mark is accomplished, handsome, kind, and even supports her unnecessary jealousies. Those petty little jealousies start to get the best of her, however, when a beautiful new intern enters his office. To add to the madness, Bridget’s roguish, ladykilling former boss and lover (Grant) finds his way back into her life.

The Stars: Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Sean Bean; directed by Jon Turteltaub

The Hype:

Benjamin Franklin Gates (Cage) comes from a long line of treasure hunters looking to fulfill a promise made by an ancestor in the Andrew Jackson administration. He must find and protect an old war chest hidden by the Founding Fathers using clues that were printed on the back of the Declaration of Independence. The problem, however, is that he is not the only one after the hidden treasure. After learning of a plot to steal the Declaration, Ben must go undercover and find a way to bypass both the criminals and the FBI in order to fulfill his promise.

The Hype:

This hit kiddie ‘toon gets big-screen treatment. SpongeBob SquarePants (Kenny) is on a mission to track down King Neptune’s stolen crown. In order to get started on this mission, SpongeBob must leave the town of Bikini Bottom and venture deeper in the ocean to succeed in his mission.
