He must have joined “The Agency” with an eye toward excitement, exotic locales and danger. But in Cape Town, South Africa, a backwater as far as foreign intrigue goes, agency newcomer Matt Weston is stuck — a one-man show, running a never-used “safe house” in the CIA’s real-estate portfolio.
Cast and crew err on the side of silly in “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” the amusingly childish sequel to that unlikely 2008 hit “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” They’ve rendered Jules Verne’s novel into a jokey lark, with broad, corny wisecracks, comic sidekicks and everybody riffing on the ginormous lizards, humungous spiders and the like.
Instead of cursing Saint Valentine this year, singles should celebrate him.
What do teachers make?

BUCHAREST, Romania — On Sunday morning in Bucharest, I knew just what I wanted to do: I wanted to go to church. I also wanted to go down to the Old City, visit a few museums and buy a warm pretzel from a sidewalk stand. But mostly I wanted to go to church.
Food and romance are as much a part of Valentine’s Day as chocolates, red roses and sweet whispers. And nowhere does that pair play out more than in the kitchen.
