Confessions of a movie reviewer
Posted by | Posted in It's funny. Laugh | Posted on 14-05-2009
Since “Angels & Demons†takes place mainly in the Vatican, and is festooned with the rites and ornaments of Roman Catholicism, I might as well begin with a confession. I have not read the novel by Dan Brown on which this film (directed, like its predecessor, “The Da Vinci Code,†by Ron Howard) is based. I have come to believe that to do so would be a sin against my faith, not in the Church of Rome but in the English language, a noble and beleaguered institution against which Mr. Brown practices vile and unspeakable blasphemy.

Movie Review
Angels & Demons (2009)
Written by Jean Valjean
I do not specifically remember much of this book, but I really thought TDVC and A&D were a lot of fun to read.
As always, TDVC was way better than the movie. In fact, I will read the book again but not watch the movie again.
