The Da Vinci Code

Wow, this post is a few years late right? Well last night Danielle and I finally got around to watching The Da Vinci Code, after I failed to finish reading the final 1/3 of the book over the last year. Apologies to Matt, since I still have not returned his book.

Basically I think that this movie was pretty good, I don't see what all the negative reviews were about. Granted it's not a great movie by any stretch, but isn't it basically like the Dan Brown novels themselves, generally entertaining? I mean I read Angels and Demons in one weekend and it was pretty good, a fun little page turner that you might want to take to the beach, and I think that the same goes for The Da Vinci Code, its got some neat little factoids in there so you can say oh neat, I never knew that about Constantine, or whatever it is that you didn't know about before you watched the movie.

Then it mixes that in with a little bit of a murder mystery, you know, just to sort of amp up the fun, and well I thought it was pretty good.

Spoiler Alert! If you don't want to know what happens don't read the block quote below (how nerdy)

Now one issue I did have, and I don't know exactly how the book ends and how it compares to the movie, but I think that someone might have a stronger reaction to learning that one was the direct descended of Jesus Christ...and that your very existence in someways basically nullifies 2000 odd years of Christian teachings and dogman?

Eh what are you gonna do...

Plus I think that Audrey Tautou is pretty darn cool, and, as it turns out, only 13 days younger then me...we should meet.
