Angels & Demons

Angels and Demons, the latest Dan Brown novel to be turned into a movie after The Da Vinci Code, was released last week to a very mixed critical response. Even I, a fan of the novel and someone who has never slammed a movie in his life, was only partially happy with the film.
The biggest […]

The Da Vinci Code sucked right? At least the movie did, the book was really rather good. But before Da Vinci was even a twinkle in the eye of its author Dan Brown, there was Angels and Demons, the prequel and first novel starring out intrepid hero, professor, and symbologist.
After the phenomenal success of […]

We’ve now had two of the big summer blockbusters released, and both X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Star Trek have ticked all the boxes they should have. Now, there’s pressure on the rest of this year’s line-up. We still have Transformers 2 and Terminator Salvation to come, but first up is Angels and Demons.
Angels and Demons, […]

Tom Hanks has to be not only one of the best, most consistent actors working today but also one of he nicest people in Hollywood. This coming from someone who has never met him of course but it’s certainly the way he comes across. He’s the anti-Tom Cruise!
Hanks recently spoke to Empire about his current […]

We’ve already had The Da Vinci Code and we’re about to get Angels and Demons. Unbelievably, it looks as though Sony is committing to making a movie version of Dan Brown’s next book, The Lost Symbol, even though it isn’t even out until September.

I’m a simple man with simple pleasures, one of which is a good page-turning thriller novel. Which means that I love Dan Brown’s work. But while The Da Vinci Code was a great book with a brilliant twist that I didn’t actually see coming, there is one book better: Angels and Demons.

I’m a huge fan of Dan Brown, author of the stupendously successful The Da Vinci Code and a few other equally classy tomes. Sure, they’re action packed pulp fiction which rely on plot twists by the bucket load but that’s why I like them so much.
The movie adaptation of The Da Vinci Code really didn’t […]

Dan Brown may be a writer of pulp fiction (not the film but trashy, easy to read novels) but I don’t care, I love the guy. The Da Vinci Code was a magnificent book which kept me hooked from beginning to end, and as soon as I finished it, I wanted more. Luckily there was […]

The writers strike has been and gone, and everyone was very pleased with the outcome, especially the writers who got pretty much everything they were asking for. But production on some movies is still being held up, this time by the possibility of an actors strike when the Screen Actors Guild contract with AMPTP comes […]

Naomi Watts, start practicing your Angel look right now!
Sure, Angels & Demons has been pushed back due to the writers’ strike, but the upside of that is the producers have some time to you know, cast it. And finally, there is word on who will be joining the until-now-rather lonely castmember Tom Hanks: according to […]
