Mini Review - Angels and Demons

It’s been a while since I talked about the Da Vinci Code. Number of reasons, my schedule being full with other movies, the fact that these films rely heavily on religion, a subject in which I’m not very well versed and I am not myself religious, and finally because I found the Da Vinci Code itself quite boring and had little desire to return to the trilogy in any hurry. But, the time has come and I’m ready for it.

Released in 2009 it made $486m on a $150m budget, which is respectable but it didn’t exactly set the world on fire critically, with only a 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, still a marked improvement over The Da Vinci’s Code’s 25%.

Guilty Pleasures #10 - The Polar Express

Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year everyone.

Time to look at a Christmas movie. The Polar Express is an adaptation of a book by Chris Van Allsburg, released in 2004, it had a decent box office performance, but was not considered a great success owing to its massive $165 million budget.

It received mixed reviews from critics, with many not liking the motion capture animation (all be it, a better version of it than a lot of films) with a 56% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a 61 on metacritic.

What's my opinion on the film? Well time to jump into this holiday classic find out just how interesting a film this is.
