DaVinci Code Movie Review

Most elaborate Hardy Boys movie EVER!

Okay, very silly, more holes than a White House press release, worth seeing only to anger the God-Clobbered (which, like virtue, is its own reward). And it’s interesting watching Ian McKellan bringing all his talent to bear trying to carry this movie on his god-like shoulders. That’s why he needed crutches, right?

Read a great editorial in the LA Times (speaking of the miraculous), May 19th edition, in which author Steve Olson explained how, if Jesus had managed to produce 4-5 grandkids then everyone in the world today could claim Him as an ancestor.

Of course the same would apply to Judas and Pontius Pilate, but who really wants to go there?

Point is, we’re all related. Be nice. And can I have your stuff when you die?

Further, I saw several trailers for upcoming flicks. Quick impressions:

Lady in the Water: Paul Giamatti should fire his agent. How does M.Night Shyamalan continue getting money to make movies? Does Ron Howard hate his daughter so much that he didn’t forcibly drag her from the set of this movie?

Pulse: Teens get mixed up with the dead via Internet. Poltergeist meets War Games. Okay. Have fun, teens.

Miami Vice: Colin Farrell has found his calling. He must now remake every TV cop show as a movie. Can’t wait for Cop Rock: The Motion Picture.

Casino Royale: I’m actually looking forward to the first and possibly only outing of “James Blonde” Daniel Craig. He looks as creepy as ever and I actually think that’s right for a guy who is essentially a royal executioner, kept alfoat by vodka and penicillan. What am I saying? I’m sure he’s fighting Evil for the cause of Freedom and that whole license to kill thing is none of our business.

Let’s order the Jumbo Tub w/ Butter and enjoy the show.
