Through Jo’s work we got tickets to see The Da Vinci Code last night. Having heard it hadn’t received very good reviews, I wasn’t expecting too much; however, I was pleasantly surprised. I haven’t read the book, so I’ve nothing to compare it with, but it was an acceptable film. A few things worth mentioning, though:

1) If Tom Hanks keeps ageing the way has has been, then when he’s seventy his eyes, nose and mouth will easily fit inside a two centimetre diameter circle in the middle of his face.

2) Free champagne and popcorn do wonders for any film, regardless its quality. Cinemas around the globe, take note and implement immediately.

3) I’m surprised Dan Brown, the author of the book, is still alive. It’s a fantastic premise to a novel, and deserves to be truth, if only to subvert today’s religions.
