The Da Vinci Code (2006)

Pretty good movie

[7/10 · 22 May 2006]

While this movie was not great, I would say that it is very good. It did follow the book well for the most part. Although in the movie things happened that didn't in the book. In the movie Captain Fache was in Opus Dei, in the book he was not. This didn't quite work for me. And near the end of the movie when Langdon and Sophie are at Roslyn Chapple in Scotland, in the movie they make their way into a secret room and find all this incredible documentation of the Priory, and Langdon reveals to Sophie that she is indeed the living descendant of Jesus. The book didn't quite do it this way but it was eventually revealed to Sophie that she is a descendant. There were a few other minor things, but all in all it was well done. Some people have been saying that Tom Hanks might not have been the best choice for Langdon. I thought he did well, but maybe this was not the roll for him.

All in all I like the movie and would recommend it..7 out of 10

Mother Ghost (2002)

Mother Ghost, excellent movie

[10/10 · 1 December 2005]

I thought Mother Ghost was an excellent movie. I highly recommend it, especially to people who might be having a hard time dealing with the loss of a loved one. I have been a fan of the Mark and Brian Radio Program, from where Mark Thompson is most well known, so when I heard about this movie I thought I would check it out. I came across it by chance, as a local radio station was giving it away. I watched it and was very impressed with it, so impressed that I called KLOS Radio (where Mark and Brian work) and spoke to Mark directly. I told him that I really enjoyed his movie. So for those of you that enjoy humorous yet thought provoking movies, you will enjoy this.
