Gather 'round for my one and only "DaVinci Code" movie review.

HooBOY that Forrest Gump really got himself into a pickle this time

:bounce: <---this is my one-liner that I thought of while watching the movie. Pretty good so far, no?

I hadn't read the book....didn't need to Tom Hanks and Ian McKellen read it to me. Only took 2 1/2 hours.


Okay half the movie was in subtitles and the poor French woman's role consisted mainly of saying "really?" and looking like she once again just learned something new.

The story itself was very interesting and there are details in the book that aren't in the movie (the Pagan ritual). I can see why it was so popular as a book and how it could really be a page turner.

Basically the dialog is the narrative. There is nothing left for you to assume or surmise everything you might possibly need to know is told to you. The audience does get a few chances to guess ahead as to what is going to happen next-some were pretty obvious some weren't until right before they happened. Tom Hanks mostly was just Tom Hanks with a Lenny Leonard haircut as his role was to just walk you through the story. Ron Howard as usual was fantastic with some massive Crusade and ancient Rome scenes that were a lot of trouble to go through for only 10-20 second on screen at a time.

I wouldn't recommend the movie.


Lenny Leonard

okay so we go to have dinner at a nice Chinese place. The waitress was clearly native born and spoke perfect English and all the problem was that she was stonecold STUPID.

She forgot my wife's appetizer. She asked if I wanted another beer as I took my first sip and then there was the following exchange with the table behind us

"Wired?" <---this is the waitress
"Huh?" <--- customer
"Wired?"

"No, WHITE RICE"
(pause)
"Oh (long pause) oh white rice okay"

:eyes:

We asked for the check and said we were going to a movie she asked if we wanted our meals boxed up.

We were cracking up the whole time.

we are going to see it this weekend :P

vs.

and it does look like a pet.


BTW_ Hanks is in this months Esquire and there are some funny "he is such a regular guy" shots of him grilling cutting the grass etc.

That's why Sophie left Sauniere in the first place - she didn't know who the other person was in the act of - uh - congress.

replace it with "but"
