The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Intelligent and entertaining.
I have no idea why this received such a thrashing in Cannes. I found it an entertaining and intelligent film. I've never read the book so maybe that is why I am unbiased. I enjoyed the story, visuals and the acting was superb. The cast was strong. The first half hour was maybe a little slow but then I was completely in the story and it held my attention for the rest of the film. I found it completely intriguing. Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou were great. Ian McKellen was his magnificent self and Paul Bettany was superb as the monk. Very very good. I found myself routing for the main characters most of the time. Unexpected twists and turns. If you go to see this film - go without expectation and you may just enjoy the journey.
Winner Takes All (2005)
Funny and Clever
I enjoyed this short film in Miami and it was so funny, the audience loved it and there was laughter throughout. A very clever story with a very funny twist. It was well directed and well acted. I like the style of this director and would like to see more of her work. A strong performance from the actors. I fell in lust with "Lovely Lady". WOW. Lauretta Lewis is hot! This actress has screen presence and looks fantastic on the big screen. More Please!! All in all I would give this film a 10 out of 10 in style, editing, direction, performance, looks and originality. Well done for giving us a short that is in a league of its own.
