Angels & Demons

Columbia Pictures and theCryptex.com are announcing that Ron Howard will begin shooting Angels & Demons (Dan Brown's best work - in my opinion) in February. Unfortunately, since Ron Howard is directing...Tom Hanks will still be playing Robert Langdon.


Don't get me wrong, Tom Hanks is the male version of America's Sweetheart and everyone love him. But anyone who has read The da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons (I hope) will agree with me that he is NOT the right fit for Robert Langdon. Robert Langdon is described (more thoroughly) in Angels as a 40 something, handsome, athletic, ex-collegiate swimmer along with many other enticing descriptors. Does that sound like Tom Hanks to you? Definitely not.

Don't worry about me, I'll get over it. I will most definitely rush to the theaters to see it when it comes out (speculation is the summer of 2009). But do yourselves a favor. READ THE BOOK! As I mentioned earlier, it is, in my opinion Dan Brown's best work to date - we'll see if that changes after the release of his much anticipated next book The Solomon Key (no word on a release date). But seriously folks, please read this book. If you haven't read The Code, by all means, read that along with all of Mr. Brown's other works, but if you have limited time or just don't like reading all that much and only want to read one, read Angels. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

27 Dresses

Okay, so this is my first stab at an official blog, so please...be gentle.


I dragged my skeptical boyfriend to see 27 Dresses the other night. He only accepted because, "Katherine Heigl is hot!" Her hotness aside, I do really like her (and her husband - who is amazing live, if you ever get a chance to see him, do it) and Knocked Up was probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.

Anyway, it was cute. I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars - definitely worth the $12 to see in theaters. By far my favorite part was when Jane and Kevin got sloshed at some random dive bar in the burbs and started singing Benny and the Jets on top of the bar. - Ba-ba-ba-Benny and the Jets!

One comment I would like to make to movie producers out there - stop trying to make gorgeous actresses "more plain" or "less attractive" by slapping on some brown hair dye. What does that say to all the brunettes in the world? That blonds are more attractive? In no way is that true. Not to mention that regardless of your attemps to "dull" KH, she was in every way, more beautiful than her "hotter" blonde sister, Tess. So cut the old adage already.

Oh a lighter note, I highly urge you all to see 27 Dresses, especially if you are in the mood for a light and funny chick flick accompanied by some high end eye candy. Also, if you are bored, check out their website: http://www.27dressesthemovie.com/. They have a cute section where you can create gorgeous or completely hideous bridesmaid dresses - the choices is yours.

Enjoy!
