I just came back from Angels and Demons, and I thought it was great. There were some INCREDIBLY MAJOR differences between the book and the movie though. The one that ticked me off the most;

Spoiler:
NO MAXIMILIAN KOHLER!!!
This made me nuts! I loved his character in the book, and to cut him out really ticks me off! Forget everyone else who changed names, nationalities, and job titles, people who lived who weren't supposed to, and the TOTAL obliteration of the "Papa Pope" storyline, Kohler not being in it made me batsh*t crazy

Ok, mini-rant over, I will say, I still really enjoyed the movie. I just especially love that so many people are all freaked out over this movie, the same as they were with The DaVinci Code. Oh, horror!!! It paints the church in a corrupt and violent light, and the church could never be corrupt or violent!

Seriously can't wait for the release of The Lost Symbol and the movie to follow!

one thing i've got to know about Angels & Demons

Spoiler:
is there alot or too much blah blah blah from Robert Langdon? there was a critic who reviewed the movie, and he said that Langdon takes too much away from the action by explaining every new plost twist. also, how much like the book is the movie?


i just want to know if it's true? i still plan to see it any way

I'll be interested to see what you think, but I thought his character was way less verbal than in DVC. It was a fast paced movie, but the book was also. It seemed to me like they altered a lot of stuff from the book, but I'm a Dan Brown geek who has read the book more times than I can count so I may be reading too much into it, pun intended.

Spoiler:
The Papa Pope storyline was still there in a sense. The Camerlengo was the adopted son of the Pope instead of biological.

Terminator: Salvation.

Not nearly as bad as people are saying it is. Its pretty fun to watch, but don't go into it expecting genre defining things. I'd say its way better than T3.

I think my expectations are already way too high for it. Now I'm afraid I won't like it as much.

See, I went into it with severely low expectations.

Its a decent movie, really. I can deffinately say its enjoyable to watch, for the most part...It seems like the type of action movie I could watch more than a couple times...like T2...?

T4: Salvation
Never was a big Terminator-fan, so I didn't expect it to rock my world. It was pretty heavy with the sci-fi drama, but it wasn't bad.

I just saw East is East. What a great little movie. I might have enjoyed it as much as I did because I've got a similar background but still.

Just got back from seeing Terminator Salvation. It was a pretty good film. Almost up there with T1 and T2.
Spoiler:
Arnold's cameo was amusing AAAh!!! Nude Ahnold!!
. I was surprised when at the beginning I saw in the credits that Anton Yelchin was in it. And low and behold he ended up being Kyle Reese himself!! It was really nice to see him in a much bigger role this week than his smaller role as Chekov a couple weeks ago. And yes he has an American accent. The kid's a good actor for sure.

Fave quote of the film has to be:
Spoiler:

Kate: "But what do I tell the men?!"
John: "Tell them.... I'll be back!..."
