Well aren't we all?

I don't usually go online at one in the freaking morning (-at least not since my prepaid internet days) to blog about some movie but I'm emphatically going out of my way for this baby.

Angels and DemonsI went to see the prequel to the much-loved and much-controversial Da Vinci Code by the now infamous Dan Brown with Karl today [insert BIG cuzzin hugs here].

In this 140-minute movie adaptation to the 2000 novel under the same name, Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon in the race against time to stop the stolen canister of antimatter from blowing up the Vatican City, unravelling mysteries behind a secret society called the Illuminati along the way. Right smack in the middle is the historical conflict between religion and science.



Brown's success can be attributed to his fancy picking on conspiracy theories, secret societies, single-day pacing, historical artifacts, architecture, symbolism, and (-why not) the Catholic Church. But be warned, comparative to it's film predecessor, Angels and Demons do not bring as much offensive stench to incite even the most austere acolytes.

There is a lot of walking and running around in this film you'd feel as if you lost 30 lbs. just sitting on that theater seat. There is a lot of observable explaining and overexplaining of details in here, too, which makes one question his/her ability to figure anything on his/her own. Movie critics will be feasting on the many pits and faults in this film, definitely, but one cannot deny the slicker and more compelling delivery by director Ron Howard this time around in Angels and Demons.

Graded A+
