The Da Vinci Code

Humanity has done some remarkably evil things in the name of religion. It has also done many altruistic ones for the same reason. It seems that a lot of them evolve from an interpretation of past pronouncements rather than direct statements. Such is the burden of human history that it leads us to a point where sides have been chosen with a goal of eliminating the presence of another. We have to ask ourselves whether what we infer that has gone on before needs to change or remain static. This is the question Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) as a Harvard Professor of Symbology and Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), a cryptologist and puzzle solver, ask themselves and one another. Their quest takes them around Europe, ending up in England with a stop in London at Westminister Abbey for a clue near the tomb of Sir Issac newton. We see them cross the street going to the abbey, overlaid with the day of Sir Issac’s funeral. There we see the attendees along with the London landscape of the time.

Deja Vu

What sort of proof would you need before you believe? Is visual proof sufficient or would you have to become a part of it? ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) is approached by a FBI Agent Andrew Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer) and offered an opportunity to view the past. He is skeptical, confused and intrigued. Because if it true, he can solve a terrorist bombing. During his observation of the process, he’s told by a colleague that a house they’re checking is riddled with his fingerprints despite his never having been there.

Down to You

I’ve always wanted to be a backup singer. Preferably for one of those groups that wears flashy suits and dances in sync. It doesn’t matter that I can’t carry a tune, I sound darn good in the shower. But to do it in public, I dunno. However when Imogen (Julia Stiles) lipsync’s to Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together and dances down her college dorm hallway surrounded by all of her neighbours, I have second thoughts and want to dust off the pipes.

D.O.A.

What would you do if you knew you were going to die in the not so distant future? I was told by a specialist that, depending upon the test results, I would have a short time left or I’d live a normal span of years. Before the result came back, I made some decisions that affected my life. It wasn’t hard to do but it was more difficult to stick to them. But Dexter Cornell (Dennis Quaid) doesn’t have the luxury of time for he has 24 hours to live after being poisoned, some guy kills his wife Gail (Jane Kaczmarek) and tosses her into Dex’s arms and later Detective Ulmer (Brion James) thinks he did it. Panic leads him to take his doctor hostage in an attempt to escape in the hopes of discovering who poisoned him. He first goes to the dorm room of his amateur stalker, Sydney Fuller (Meg Ryan) where he figures he can begin to track down his killer.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo

It takes a lot of chutzpah to pull off the demeanour of a gigolo. Just ask T.J. Hicks (Eddie Griffin), the man-whore rival of Deuce Bigalow (Rob Schneider). With his mangina, the he-bitch seems to have the real stuff for he is able to restore Bergita’s (Dina Platias) sight after a brief dalliance in Antoine’s (Oded Fehr) closet while Deuce and Antoine skirmish over the destruction of a fish tank.
