Apparently, Amy is stealing hearts yet again! :) Review are in for Night at the Museum, and it’s looking good!

Despite striking fear in the hearts of all those who love comedies – that is, funny ones – Shawn Levy, the director of NATM2, as well as those Pink Panther remakes, defied critics and naysayers alike by delivering a sequel that not only got better reviews than the first but posting the biggest grosses ever for a Ben Stiller opening.

Script was apparently much funnier this time, Amy Adams stole hearts with her acclaimed performance as Amelia Earheart, and special effects got a particular mention for actually being special.

On a similar note, I saw the movie myself. If you haven’t seen it yet, then go! Amy was brilliant in it, I think she stole the show pretty much. :)

Back on May 15th, Amy took part in the official press conference for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and the photos have just been released.  Enjoy!

The U.S. premiere of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is tonight in Washington, D.C. and the buzz on the web is that Amy will be in attendance.  Arrivals are said to be around 6est and we will of course be bringing you any coverage.

‘I see her as a woman who’s ahead of her time but also having fun, embracing that sense of adventure; it’s about believing in yourself and your passions and making the most of the time that you have in life.’

Dressed in a 1930s flying suit and goggles, her strawberry blonde hair in a bouncy bob, Amy Adams climbs into the cockpit of a vintage plane, looking every inch the daredevil adventurer.

We meet in Canada on the set of her new comic film Night at the Museum 2, in which Amy plays aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart (the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932).

The actress seems utterly at ease as she prepares to take off on a heart-stopping mission, in her character’s famous single-engine, cherry-red Lockheed Vega.

Amy looks so confident in her plane’s cockpit that it’s a surprise to discover that flying is something she dreads in real life.

‘I’m terrified of flying, it’s really ironic,’ says the actress. ‘I’ve had some embarrassing episodes at airports. Certain American airlines don’t assign seats and there have been times when I couldn’t sit next to my fiancé [actor Darren Le Gallo]. I’ve had a few meltdowns trying to get someone to change seats with me. There was one trip from Los Angeles to New York where I had a panic attack and cried throughout the flight.’

SmithsonianMag posted a cute little interview with Amy talking about her role in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

In this day and age, when kids can access the Internet, it sometimes deprives them of the impact—and inspiration—that comes from seeing something in person.

Actress Amy Adams, 34, has appeared in 25 films and received two Academy Award nominations—most recently for her role as a young nun in 2008′s Doubt. In Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, she plays Amelia Earhart. Adams spoke with Smithsonian‘s Beth Py-Lieberman.

Do you see yourself in Amelia Earhart?
I think most women do. There’s a sense of fun and a sense of adventure that she represents—a woman succeeding in a man’s world.

What did you think about the Earhart exhibit?
We did our shooting in the Air and Space Museum at night, which allowed me to have an intimate experience with the exhibit. When you see how small her plane was, you really understand her fortitude. And the more research I did about her, the more I liked her. When people would ask her, “Why do you fly?” she would say, “For the fun of it.” I think that’s something that gets lost when you first learn about Amelia. It was her spirit more than anything that we were trying to capture.
