Remember when I wrote the blog about the supposed death of the blockbuster. Well, in one week I think the season's first real blockbuster will be opening.
To be fair, I haven't read the Da Vinci Code. I received it as a gift for Christmas (Thank you cc) but havent' read it yet. I was thinking I would go see the film and then read the book because lately I like the book better than the film (when I see books being filmed) and didn't want to ruin the experience of the film for me. But my brand new book club has picked the Da Vinci Code as their new book so I have to hurry up and read it.
The vibes coming from the film promotion seem good. I saw Ron Howard on the Tonight Show talking about the flick. Ron sure has come a long way from Opie and Happy Days, dont' you think? He (Howard) is a masterful filmmaker where the story is the key and he ususally chooses a good cast to support his film vision. Hopefully, the same remains to be true here.
But what is with Tom Hank's haircut? Was Donald Trump's toupee maker not available? Sorry, I just had to say it so I won't be thinking it when I view the film.
Don't worry, I will let you know what I think of Da Vinci after I see it. Happy Mother's Day!

I saw this flick. Thought it was a snorer. Would have been much better as a doc. I.E., had they made a documentary about the theories, people, places, cults, presented in the novel, it would have been more interesting. The film was so full of exposition, you may as well have been reading a book. And the big reveal at the end, I thought was redudant, as the audience already knew who She was, but had to sit through to the end to find out something they already knew. Zzzzz.
