Roman DaVinci

I recently saw The Da Vinci Code and there are 2 points.
1: Tom Hanks is just wrong as the lead for this film. He’s not engaged. The word “plodding” comes to mind.
2. The subject matter is extremely cool, but as a movie it tried to do too much and you don’t have a chance to absorb the ideas being presented. Actually, I think that’s the point. There’s a lot of money to be made by turning the book into a film. DO NOT THINK about any of this. Just watch the film and enjoy the fast pace with Tom Hanks and that chick from Amelie and hey isn’t this a lot like Mission Impossible X but hey whatever I’m thirsty. Let’s get a beer.
Tonight I watched a 1965 Roman Polanski film called Repulsion that freaked me the fuck out. This is a scary movie that puts you in the mind of the psycho who imagines people attacking her. No joke.
So there’s a movie that talks about the biggest questions known to man that’s crap and there’s a movie that talks about common fears that’s strangely enjoyable.
