Angels And Demons

, , , ...



I know that i'm a bit late in posting the trailer here and you may have watched it yourself by now. But still for the ignorants one, This is Angels And Demons trailer for the movie based on the novel by Dan Brown. The book was actually the prequel to The Da Vinci Code, but director Ron Howard has made the movie as the sequel to the earlier movie.

The movie has Tom Hanks reprising the role of Robert Langdon, the Harward professor, who is now on a mission to find out the murderers of a particle physicist Dr. Leonard Vetra and his clashes with the Vatican officials and the mystery of a secret cult known as Illuminati.

Ayelet Zurer plays the role of Vittoria Vetra and Ewan McGregor plays the Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca.

Since I've been fascinated by the book, i just can't wait for the movie to release. Ron Howard has also made some changes in the character of Robert Langdon, like in this movie he's not going to stand and give speeches, but he'll stay on the move while he's talking. Well what effect it will have on his charcter will only be seen after the relaese of the movie.

Boy! This guy is amazing. You can't even say if you're reading fiction or real facts. A real gem of an author, of the class of J.K. Rowling. I got to know about this book from the newspaper, which reported that the Vatican has banned the movie to be shot. What followed was a visit to the local bookstore and i rightaway bought this book. And reading this book, i created my own record, i finished the book in less than 13 hrs of continuous reading




When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati... the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth.

The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces he has hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair... a secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war...

Review- Snow Angels

, , , ...

Kate Beckinsale is a tough one. Most know her as the chilly star of two Underworld movies, or as the love interest in any number of dreadful hit movies (want Click and Serendipity? You can have ‘em). Lately she’s been buffed and waxed into movie star perfection, but it may surprise some that under that immobile brow and those pumpkin-colored highlights are the instincts of a real actress. You get glimpses of that Kate Beckinsale in Snow Angels, the latest from All the Real Girls writer/director David Gordon Green.

Beckinsale plays one half of a married couple with the shambling Sam Rockwell, and to put him in a scene with the tightly-wound Beckinsale is to know immediately why these characters have begun separation proceedings. Beckinsale copes by sniping at her young daughter and carrying on an affair with Nicky Katt, and while she’s intermittently interested in letting Rockwell back into her life (at least, before he inevitably screws things up again), a terrible tragedy severs their chances for reconciliation and sends both characters into some mighty dark places.

Green knows that things are going to get rough in this story, and before they do, you’re allowed some hammy improv curlicues from the clever Katt and Rockwell, not to mention the always sublime Amy Sedaris as one of Beckinsale’s coworkers. But despite the directorial precision on display here, and the resuscitation of Beckinsale as an interesting actress, the story remains stubbornly uninvolving. These actors go through some intense stuff, but you watch it happen at arms length, never feeling the things for them you’d need to in order to invest in the grim second half. What you end up with, then, is a movie as pretty – but as cold- as its title.
