In Line to Take a Nap!

[In Line at The Grove Theater to see The Da Vinci Code]
I just returned from my nap…er…I mean from seeing The Da Vinci Code. MAN, what a snoozer this thing is! I really wanted to like it though and I tried my best to stay awake through the 150 minutes but I found myself being forced into some sort of cryogenic deep sleep. It’s probably worth renting if there’s nothing else in the video store shelves though.
There did seem to be a few people in the audience who liked it. Very weak applause after it ended but I’m thinking they were clapping because it was finally OVER. I just expected more. No, I haven’t read the book…I’m sure it’s better than the movie. I won’t give anything away and ruin the movie (even worse than it already is) by telling the twist at the end that seemed pretty obvious from early on.
After the hype on Dateline NBC, 20/20 and PrimeTime Live (and other shows like it) …well….there really isn’t any more to the story. So basically, if you know anything about it, you’re just waiting for the movie to catch up to what everyone’s already heard about the story. I can’t knock the story…it’s a good one but I think I would have enjoyed it much more not knowing anything about it.
I’m not sure what I was expecting …I just know that I really hated the flick. The Albino Monk actually gave me a laugh but I think he was supposed to be scary 
Enough about this…just my 2 Cents on it is all.
Enough about this…just my 2 Cents on it is all.I guess there’s still hope for Summer movies with X-Men 3 and Superman Returns
