Normally, I don't watch a movie before I read the book if I intend on reading the book... or it just so happens that I usually read the book before I watch the movie. However, yesterday, one of my pharmacy friends invited me to come watch Angels and Demons with her.

I was skeptical about how well I would follow the movie, because I'm usually the person that asks their friends millions of questions and still not knowing what is going on. This time however, I was able to understand what is happening in the movie, that's why I'm trying to write a review.

Since I have not read the book, I don't have a good comparison of how accurate of a movie it is, according to the book. The movie, on itself, did make logical sense to me overall... I still don't know how the main scientist was connected with the illuminati's though.

If I were to choose a few words that describes the movies, I would pick the following: Gruesome and convoluted. It's not a light movie to watch, and this should be expected considering the topic of discussion. There involves a few cardinal murders and a twist in the plot. I like the way that was arranged, me and my friends definitely got a kick out of the twist. I'm trying to not spoil much of the movie, but basically, it reminds me of National Treasures plus the TV series, 24. I think those of you who enjoyed National Treasurers would enjoy this movie, even if you have not read the book.

Right after the movie, I called a friend and ask if I could borrow his copies of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons... he then told me that there are two more books. In addition, guess what I got in my e-mail?

I'm considering ordering it, since 40% off is considerably a high percentage off and this series seems promising.

p.s. Yes, I'm watching movies now! My classes and final exams are finally over. I should get more active again on Gather and Xanga, playing the F horn, crafting, creating art, Bikram yoga, and life!

p.p.s. I'm still in NJ, waiting until Jens' graduation, plus a road trip, then I'll be back in MD!!! It sounds pretty exciting to me!
